Origin

Schallers-mouthbrooder is an Asian betta species that originates from Indonesia and Banka where they inhabit the flood plains and small vegetated waterways.

Short description

This species is one of the rarer Betta species to be found in the aquarium trade so if you are lucky enough to get hold of some specimens they may demand higher prices. They belong to the family of Osphronemidae along with many other species from this family. Adult specimens will only reach an adult size of just under 2 inches making them ideal for the smaller aquariums but if kept in a group then allow for this with the water volume. Sadly too many Betta are kept in small containers which is cruel to the fish and a very bad practice. Their main body colouration is a grey or reddish brown main colour although the lighting in the aquarium may distort this and on the edges of their scales there will be a green tinge. They will also display a vertical dark barring on their head which runs through the eye. They are classed as a peaceful species and will do well with other tank mates of a similar size and who require the same water parameters but the males will display aggression during the spawning periods.

Lifespan

If cared for correctly Schallers-mouthbrooder should have an average lifespan of at least 3-5 years.

General care

Betta schalleri can be housed in a small aquarium if kept as as single pair, a 10 gallon tank is ideal however if you are keeping a group of these fish then you will require a larger aquarium of up to 30 gallons. A tight fitting lid will need to be used and keep the water level a couple of inches lower than the top of the aquarium. The water temperature should be set between 24 -26°C (76-79°F) and the pH should range between 4.6-5.8. These fish are quite hardy but they do require high water quality and should never be added to an immature tank setup.

Feeding

These are not a difficult fish to feed and ig healthy will have a voracious appetite. It should be remembered that they only have small mouths and stomachs so the size of the food should relate to this. Use a quality commercial flake or small pellets for the staple diet and this should be varied with treats of live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms.

Sexing

Mature males will have a broader head shape and develop a caudal spike on their fin. Their pelvic fins will also elongate as they mature.

Breeding

Like most of the Betta species, Schallers mouthbrooders are a paternal brooder with the male taking on all parental responsibilities. It is best to use a separate breeding tank and take care when introducing the female. If too much aggression is shown by the male split the pair and try again in 2-3 weeks. The female will mostly encourage the spawning and once the eggs have been deposited by the female and fertilised the male will scoop them up for brooding. At this stage it is advised to remove the female to prevent her getting harassed by the male. Incubation normally takes 8-10 days and when the fry are released then can be fed on newly hatched brine shrimp or Infusoria. Remove the male once the fry are free swimming and carefully perform small water changes in the fry tank on a daily basis to keep the water quality as high as possible. It is best to give the fry 3-4 small meals per day rather than a couple of larger meals.

Did you know?

  • Beginners often think that fish cannot swim backwards; It’s just a myth.
  • Some aquarium plants absorb nutriments via leafs, so they don’t need roots actually.
  • Any fish should be kept in a tank that’s at least 5 times longer than fish’ length.
  • Green pufferfish may get along with other species, however are known to be aggressive toward own species especially if kept in small tanks.
  • External aquarium filters usually contain more space for filtration media, thus they’re more effective than internal aquarium filters.

Five stars for BOKA without hesitation.
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: A. Ela Mint
I have tried a lot of natural toothpastes over the years and I can honestly say that Boka completely surprised me in the best possible way. From the very first use it felt like I had finally found a toothpaste that balances modern science with a clean ingredient philosophy. You will not be disappointed. The standout ingredient here is nano hydroxyapatite, which is the same mineral that naturally makes up tooth enamel. That immediately caught my attention because instead of simply masking dental issues it actually supports remineralization. After learning more about nano hydroxyapatite and how it interacts with enamel I felt confident giving this toothpaste a real trial. The texture is smooth and creamy and it spreads easily across the teeth. Some fluoride free toothpastes can feel chalky or thin but this one feels refined and well formulated. It produces a gentle foam that feels pleasant while brushing but never overwhelming. The flavor is another area where this toothpaste shines. It is refreshing without being harsh or overly minty. My mouth feels clean and balanced after brushing rather than blasted with artificial intensity. That subtle freshness actually lasts much longer than I expected. After about two weeks of consistent use I started noticing that my teeth felt smoother throughout the day. That polished feeling you normally get right after a dental cleaning lasted longer than usual. My teeth also appeared brighter which was a welcome bonus. Another thing I appreciate is the ingredient transparency. There are no questionable additives and it is completely fluoride free which is important for people who prefer alternatives that still support enamel health. Knowing that nano hydroxyapatite is widely used in advanced dental care products in other parts of the world made this even more compelling. The packaging is clean and modern and the tube dispenses easily without making a mess on the cap. It feels like a premium product from start to finish. What really impressed me is how well this toothpaste balances effectiveness, comfort, and thoughtful formulation. It manages to feel gentle while still leaving my teeth incredibly clean and refreshed. If you are looking for a high quality fluoride free toothpaste that focuses on enamel support and a healthier approach to oral care then I highly recommend giving this one a try. It has absolutely earned a permanent place in my daily routine and it is one of the few natural toothpastes I genuinely look forward to using every day.

Great toothpaste.
Size: Pack of 1, 4 Ounce, Set name: B. Whitening
This is by far really great toothpaste. I can tell the difference in the color of my teeth. And sometimes my teeth are kinda sensitive to harsh toothpaste. But this is good for sensitive teeth. And minty flavor is not to strong either. Try it. I hope it works for you as well as It does for me. 🤗

Gentle and Pleasant to Use
Size: Pack of 2, 1.3 Ounce, Set name: A. Ela Mint
This toothpaste feels gentle on sensitive teeth and has a clean, refreshing taste without being too strong. The texture is smooth, and it leaves my mouth feeling fresh after brushing. I also like that it uses nano hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride, which makes it an interesting alternative to traditional toothpaste. Overall, a good toothpaste for sensitive teeth and daily use.

Great natural fiber soap bags
I'm a soap maker who lives with teenagers who always seem to get everything absolutely soaked in the bathroom. I invested in these bags as a way to help my soap last longer while providing some scrub without adding exfoliators to the formula. They are well made, a good value, and I love that they are made out of natural fibers. They dry out quickly, are not too rough, but still provide nice exfoliation. I will definitely purchase again.

Great, small investment
This set of bags was a great value for my money. Soaps all sizes fit in there perfectly. This is a very versatile item. I use one of mine in my bedroom for dry garbage like gum, wrappers and tissues, then empty it weekly. It’s a great quality. It’s all natural very durable. And the main reason why I got these is because they also exfoliate.
