A collection of my bettas at my work (LFS) and a few of my own fish.
After I implemented the ROI system and water hardness testing the fish at work have really plumped up. They get cattappa extract added to the water and each have live plants, including floating plants to rest on.
The water is held at 26C. They live in connected systems where 6 fish live in separate compartments but share a total of 200 litres of water volume with an integrated filter. There are 24 compartments total. They get a weekly 20% water change and the filters need cleaning every 6 months. The water is pristine.
Very rarely do we loose a fish after transport or have any sick fish at all. Even rarer that we don't manage to cure the sick fish. At peak time we can sell a 100 bettas a month. The clients are advised that an aquarium of 30 litres minimum is requried (8ish gallons), but when I'm working I usually advise to go with 50 litres and up (13ish gallons), which is my personal minimum.
Currently I'm setting up 3 new 60 litre aquariums at home, hope to share pictures soon.
