Good Betta Fish Care Is Super Important


If you have a Betta fish then you should know how important good Betta fish care is. It's a really sad fact that there is a lot of bad information on the internet. Unfortunately there are a lot of people searching in good faith and they find crappy info (can be deadly) without knowing it.

Here are a few basic tip to have in mind for you Betta Fish:

Nr 1. No matter what anybody says. Don´t get a small tank, go for the 5 gallon one. It matters to you fish. He will be healthier and stronger.

Nr 2. Clean water is SUPER important. Replace 1/4 of the tank twice every week. No I'm not joking. If you want a healthy strong Betta then this is what you will do, twice every week!

Nr 3. Use a water heater (25-50w) to keep the water at a steady temperature - about 82 Fahrenheit. (note. don't use a stronger heater than 50w unless you want to cook your fish)

Nr 4. Use a lid. Your tank should be closed (Not with an airthight lid) and the water level should be 2-3 inches below the lid. This is give your Betta a chance to jump, they love that. Just make sure that the lid has airholes in it so you Betta can breath fresh air (NO the airpump is not enough)

Nr 5. Clean. Clean. Clean. Yes, I know you know! :) But still.. can´t say it enough times it's that imortant. And remember this: NEVER EVER use soap or detergent on the tank or any of the plants, rocks or other items in it. IT WILL KILL!
