5 Tips How To Change Water For Your Betta Fish(Betta Fish Care Resource)

Tip 1.

Bottled water is inferior to tap water because tap water has minerals that aid betta's health.

Tip 2.

Betta's like to swim around and explore in at least a 2.5 gallon heavily planted, with a heater and slow flowing filter. No bowls because bowls are for cereal.

Tip 3.

Betta's are carnivores (more specifically insectivores) that thrive on a high protein diet. In the wild they feast on worms and insects that fall into the water, their mouths are build with an upward turn to snatch flies and other insects that fall into the water. Give them food made for bettas (not tropical or goldfish food).

Tip 4.

Betta's are jumpers, so make sure you have a lid, females jump even higher than males.

Tip 5.

Do weekly water changes (about 20%), they will thrive and live longer, 5 years easy but can live up to 8.
