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

Bettas are also known as "fighting fish" so only buy 1 male. If you put in 2 male bettas, it'll be like watching a c0ck fight within minutes.

It's okay for to put in a male and a female but just don't do 2 males.

they are good fish to have because you dont need a filter to oxygenate the water, they can get air from the surface.

In the wild, they can live in the footprints in the mud left by water buffalo, so you dont need a real big tank either.

Betta's are really easy to take care of.

Purchase a pretty vase / bowl, add spring water and if you like, some pretty rocks on the bottom of the bowl.

Buy some fish pellets (food specially marked for Betta's) and feed them either 7 pellets once a day or 3 pellets 3 times a day. Try to feed them at the same time every day.

Clean they bowls once a month or when you see that the bowl is starting to get cloudy.

Only have one Betta per bowl, they'll kill other fish,, sometimes even the female Betta.

My last two Betta's lived for 3 years each.

I have had a betta fish for about 5 years. They are very easy to care for and don't make a mess. I have mine in a gallon glass container, change his water once a week (I use a gallon of drinking water from the grocery store with no chemicals added). He has some pretty rocks to look at and a plant and is very personable and likes to be talked to and petted.

For a betta you just need a small bowl or a special betta tank. They are really easy to take care of them; no filter, no oxygen, just food for bettas, a comfy bowl and cleaning once a week. Hope this helps.
