Poor man's solution to betta barrack

Here is the sample of separating and growing our juvies where 1 male is let roaming the bigger tank freely but the rest of the others are caged in cut-off transparant containers.



They have a good exercise for awhile until we then have to break it off by replacing the transparant cage with non transparant ones, such as cut-off milk bottles. This way, all of them can rest for sometime and then they'll get into the exercise mode again when we return back.

If you have small number of males, you can do this fairly easily while saving some of your electricity bill.

Word of caution. Watch out for those jumping males. Once a male jump off from their cage to the outside tank, you'll have very vicious fight which pretty much means at least 2 of your males will not be in their tip top form anymore.....
