My friend is giving me her two bettas The only thing is2007-11-24 23:38:27

The water is freakishly dirty, the bettas are abused, and they each live in freakishly small betta vases. What can I do to make them feel at home? Should I change their water? Should I get small tanks for them? I have the food and stuff, and I am not going to the petstore today, should I just change their water? Give them something special? Put them in a bigger vase for right now? What should I do? Huury, I only have 10 minutes..

Take a deep breath. Remember betta are tough. These guys have lived this long. Now go read betta talk. Concetrate on getting them dechorinated clean water. Keep the new and old water temps the same. Larger quarters can wait if you don't over feed, and keep the water clean.

Bettas thrive in small environments, but you should probably clean the water and give them some food right away.

DO NOT CHANGE THE WATER unless you have chlorine remover or distilled water. The chlorine will kill them instantly. They live in just about any container.

I believe if you own a pet you should take care of it properly. Yes they should have a larger container and proper Beta food. They don't need much, are easy to take care of. I have two. I bought the containers with an air filter and light for only $10. They have lived for years!!

Yes, change the water. They don't need alot of room to thrive.
