Caring For Bettas – Fish Care Tips to Help Them Thrive
So you’re all ready to house a new Betta fish and embark on a new endeavor… But you want to make sure you’re really ready. Well you’re one smart cookie then, Bettas are a very delicate creature (a very rewarding one too though!) and research is king when it comes to being a good pet owner. Below is a guide on the basics of owning a Betta fish. Of course there is more than this to know, but I’ll get you started!
Betta Costs And Setup As far as pets go, Bettas are fairly cheap, but you will want to make sure you have a little bit of money to provide everything your new pal needs. The supplies you need to get to properly house and care for a betta are: A 5 to 10 gallon tank (don’t get fooled into thinking he’ll thrive in a vase), drops that remove chlorine from your tap water, Betta fish pellet food, rocks for the bottom of the tank, a heater, a thermometer, a filter, and some basic decorations. Depending on what you pick out, these items should cost between $75 and $100. This includes the costs of your Bettas fish itself. One great thing about these costs though is that they are all one time so you shouldn’t have to be spending money after your initial purchase (i.e. bottle of food pellets can last years).
Feeding and Temperature: Maintaining Your Bettas Fish are a hardy bunch in general, and the Betta species tries its best, it really does… But try as they might, Bettas respond poorly to overfeeding and harsh changes in climate. It is important to dole out a Betta fish’s food in small portions, REMEMBER: their stomach is about the size of one of their eyes. For this reason I give my Betta Gilbert just two small pellets in the morning and two in the evening. As far as temperature goes, anywhere between 76 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit should be comfortable, I like to keep my tank around 82. No matter where you have the temperature, the key is to keep it constant. Take the weather into account as large swings in temperature can be stressful to Bettas. Fish like to be comfortable too.
There’s a lot more to know about the specifics of keeping a thriving Betta alive and most deadly Betta mistakes occur without the owner even knowing what’s going on. I found my path to giving Gilbert the best life possible and my “salvation” so-to-speak in Betta Care Made Easy In just a few minutes I learned a whole lot about little things I was doing that were harming my fish and the small cost of the care guide became quickly worth it.
