Should i get a betta fish2007-11-24 23:40:15

I really like animals but my mom wont let me get a cat or a dog.I did some research and i really like the betta fish.What kind of tank and stuff should I buy and what things do i neeed to know before getting one?

Answers:

Yes, get one.

The requirements for one are fairly simple.

Get a large bowl - at least a gallon.

Get the chemical to make sure the water is safe for the betta (removes the cholorine).

Buy the type of food they like.

Get one male betta only.

Feed your fish occasionally - he will let you know when he is hungry.

Change his water at least once a week, cleaning out the bowl, and replacing the water with fresh, treated water. We have a smaller bowl where we put our fish while we change his water.

Enjoy.

Yes, there the best fish. They don't need great big tanks with filters. Just buy a pretty bowl or vase fill it with water and put a betta fish in. They live longer then gold fish too. THERE BEATIFUL

answer: Yes, get one!

mine lives in a regular fish bowl about a 1/2 gallon size,they like to have some kind of hiding place and keep them out of the sun and somewhere away from temperature changes,like doors an windows

Betta fish can live in just about any container; a hospital near me has them all over the place in big Ehrlenmeyer flasks with marbles in the bottom - very colorful! Just feed them sparingly, and keep the water clean (change only about 10-15% each day) and your betta will have a long life. You can add plants if you like, too.

Well for a betta fish you can get a large ordinary bowl and get betta food and when you put you put your fish in the bowl put betta conditioner it cleans out the chemicals in the water from the sink!!good luck!!
