usually beta fish are okay on their own - single them out. Don't put two into one bowl. They will kill each other, it's their nature. I put mine by a mirror on accident and he thought it was another fish and started fighting the fish bowl - lol. An inch? that's not enough - betas need space. They're like an athletic fish kind of. beta fish food - petsmart should have them. Wal-Mart or I should say the people who shop at walmart abuse the fish. Truthfully it's all about making money - as long as they're alive no matter what the condition they'll keep them.

Betas are Vietnamese fish - they usually survive in muddy puddles - Fresh water kicks it up a notch - they live well in tanks. umm ...what else? Good Luck with the fish, they're really beautiful, exotic tropical fish - hard work pays off

Tap water is fine as long as you use conditioner in it (de-chlorinator). Almost all fish keepers use tap water.

Betta's are regular tropical fish and should be treated like regular tropical fish. This means Tanks with filters and heaters. They will survive in a bowl, yes, but they will thrive and live a full life in a tank. You can tell the ignorance of the keepers when you hear they have a lifespan of 1-3 years, when in reality this should be closer to 5-7 years.
