Beta fish and how to care for them2007-11-24 23:10:12

as to the answer above mine, peta wont show up to do anything about it unless you can guarantee a news crew and some publicity for them. They care about animals when it gets them in the news.

Good for you! That is so nice of you! Well, tap water is not very good for them. You need to put in tap water conditioner. I use one by a company called Aquarium Pharmaceuyicals. Also, you can not put two betta fish together, or they will fight, and most likely die. They must be kept seperate! Also, for food, look around in the fish isle of a pet store, and get the little yellow bottle with the betta on it, or ask the pet store workers for suggestions! Plus, you just have to clean the tank, and don't keep them in golfish bowls! Its as easy as that!

well next time let the water sit for 2 days if its a small bowl. never ever for gods sakes put the bettas in one bowl unless its a big tank or theyll kill each other. or at least rip each others fins off.

OMGiamgoingNUTS is overreacting, you didnt kill them, no tap water isnt the best, but it probably wont kill them overnight, my bettas lived in tap water for about a week before i found it was bad and they were fine

I think its great you tried to help the fishies, These fish need enough water to move around, and an inch definately isnt enough

Ok, so heres your basic care

You need at least a 1 gallon bowl at a minimum, a small tank would be better, but if your going to be buying alot of them, im sure that you dont have time to worry about taking care of a tank, so a bowl will do
