Keeping a Japanese fish bowl, vase or similar2007-11-24 23:38:00

Bettas need to be kept in a bowl, or tank. Ideally of at least 2.5 gallons with the water changed once a week. Smaller containers will work, but require water changes twice a week. The bettas needs a food with insect/worm/shrimp/fish as it's main component. Lastly the betta need access to fresh air at the surface of the water. (Betta in fact have non working gills, and can drown.)

hahaha okay

Usually the fish dont last that long..

Korea has something like that

they put tiny brown or blue fish in a vase and cover it with a bamboo plant.. something the fish will live off of just the algae that grows in the vase and other times they will die..

the whole purpose for those aquariums is decoration..

im not to sure on how the japanese do it but sounds similar

But honestly maintaing those is hard. ive gone through a billion of them over half of the time the plant eventually devours the fish..

they are plant tank.. for this kind of tank, you need ADA black sand, lights, plant such as moss..

here is the step .. http://www.vectrapoint.com/main/manual/b.

but honorsly, small plant tank is hard for beginner, you can try a bigger tank 1st..

I know what you mean, and they are pretty. But the key is "ornaments". Fish are alive and by allowing the to struggle to survive in this enviroment, its just irresonicible. If you want to have a tank that is small and pretty like this, there are a few alternatives.
