“…rearing Siamese fighting fish are in the range from 28.0 to 33.4% [10,11,13], which is similar to the observed protein content in the Sakura group (34.0%), but not in the Betta Bio-Gold (39.4%) and the EBD (51.0%). However, the EBD might be suitable for carnivorous fish because of its excess amounts of protein and lipid with a low level of NFE corresponding well with the chemical compositions of live diets for Siamese fighting fish [26].…”

“…Moreover, it is difficult to preserve the diet for a long time, or during transportation, without the use of a deep freezer [9]. Therefore, its artificial pellet diets have been formulated [4,[10][11][12][13]. However, the commercial pellet diets for Siamese fighting fish, for example Sakura, Tetra, Hikari, and Betta Bio-Gold, are relatively expensive compared with those for other ornamental fish such as guppy, molly, and goldfish [14].…”

The proposed homemade egg-based diet (EBD) was studied to provide a suitable feed as an alternative for available instability of live diets and expensive commercial feeds for Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens). The EBD was compared with the widely used commercial feeds, Sakura and Betta Bio-Gold. The 1.5-month-old solid-red male fish were individually reared and fed with the three alternative diets (EBD, Sakura, and Betta Bio-Gold) at 5% of body weight twice daily (09.00 and 17.00 h) for eight weeks. At the end of the trial, growth performances were measured in terms of final body weight and weight gain. The results showed that fish fed with the EBD and the Betta Bio-Gold had similar growth performances (p > 0.05), but both were significantly higher than those fed with the Sakura (p < 0.05). Feeding rates, feed conversion ratios, and protein efficiency ratios of the EBD and the Betta Bio-Gold fish groups were also superior to the Sakura. This corresponded with significantly higher specific activities of the intestinal protein-digesting enzymes (trypsin and chymotrypsin) (p < 0.05). However, their stomach protein-digesting enzyme (pepsin) and the activity ratio of amylase to trypsin were significantly lower (p < 0.05). Specific activities of amylase and lipase were similar among the three dietary groups. Fish coloration was not influenced by the diet types, while improved muscle protein synthesis capacity and carcass lipid were observed in the EBD group. These findings indicate the EBD as an advantageous diet for male Siamese fighting fish.

“…For angelfish, the 40% CP (Degani, 1993), close to the values observed for the discus fish by Chong et al (2002). However, studies conducted to maintain equal amounts of AAs with protein variation (Zuanon et al, 2016) resulted in a decrease in the requirement to 30% CP.…”

Symphysodon aequifasciatus is a fish with a disk-shaped body and bright colors, important characteristics of ornamental fish. We evaluated amino acid supplementation strategies to reduce crude protein in the diet for evaluation of performance, the content of digestive enzymes, liver metabolism, and intestinal histopathology. A total of 180 fish were randomly distributed in 12 separate 50 L glass aquariums, consisting of a completely randomized design with four treatments (DC - Control diet with 34.4% crude protein; DL - Control diet plus 1% of lysine; DEAA - Control diet plus 1% free essential amino acids (threonine, phenylalanine, leucine, valine, arginine, and tryptophan); and DHP - Diet with a high level of crude protein 48.4%), three repetitions, lasting 60 days. The use of DL and DEAA diets resulted in higher intestinal villus height and higher zootechnical performance. The use of DL diet increased alkaline phosphatase and digestive amylase activity. The use of DHP diets promotes severe liver changes due to increased activity of Alanine aminotraserase. Therefore, it was possible to observe that the use of amino acids can supply the nutritional need of blue discus. Supplementation of diets with AAs allows the reduction of dietary protein, which is a strategy for feeding management.

“…The quantity of protein in betta food is an even more important factor. Growth in young bettas is optimal when fed food containing 31-35 % protein, but impairs at lower or higher percentages (James and Sampath, 2003;Zuanon et al, 2016). In addition, in female bettas, the ovaries are less developed and eggs are of lesser quality when fed less than 35% protein (James and Sampath, 2003).…”

Mogelijke welzijnsproblemen bij de Siamese kempvis (Betta splendens) in sierviswinkels en bij de hobbyist

Betta splendens is an extremely popular ornamental fish among hobby aquarists. It has an interesting behavioral repertoire, particularly where male aggression and territoriality are concerned. The lack of scientific studies investigating optimal housing conditions in combination with the wide variety of commercially available husbandry products, raises questions about the welfare status of these fish in captivity. In this article, an overview of the available literature on the biology of the betta and general considerations of ornamental fish keeping is given, and environment- and animal-related factors with potential impact on the welfare of Betta splendens are examined. Although more research using biological and physiological indicators is needed, the following factors constituting welfare problems have been identified: an aquarium of limited dimensions, prevalence of Mycobacterium spp. infection, aggression to and from conspecifics or other species in the same aquarium and the limited ability to escape, potential for stress due to prolonged visual contact between males in shops and during shows, and the lack of environmental enrichment in the form of sheltering vegetation.
