I need to know2007-11-24 23:35:45

I have a single betta fighter fish, n I keep her in a small bowl (it's not that small that she cant swim around),but do u think I should buy a bigger bowl?? or will she be fine in the small one?? Any experts around?? plz help,but only serious answers, thnx!

Answers:

Betta fish prefer small spaces as they come from small ponds, rice paddies, etc. They would not mind a big tank or a bigger bowl, but when they want to rest (or don't wanna swim ) they will go under rocks or the tiniest of places.

I don't know how small this bowl is and its hard to tell you. How many cups does it take to fill this bowl up? They are pretty content in a medium sized area and they don't need a ton of space. If you have your basic type "fishbowl" then you should be fine.

I see them do well in small bowls. Make sure you use only natural spring water in her bowl, because chlorinated water and distilled water make the water filthy with a white substance.

I would put a small aquatic plant in there. Betta do well with a real plant.

a few of my friends have them and they keep them in bowls a little larger than regular goldfish bowls and they last forever. well unless u eat them.lol.my friend was drunk and ate his fish.but he choked on it and spit it up so i guess its okay.

I am no fish expert, but I do work in a place that sells fish. When I was trained how to properly deal with the fish selling them to the public, I was told that betta fish do not require a lot of space; therefore, I think your fish will be just fine.

As long as the bowl is at least 3 gallons they will do well

The larger the bowl the less likely that water contaminents will reach toxic levels. Water quality issues shorten the lifespan of them
