Shop by Pet - Betta Fish
Betta fish make great pets, but not everyone knows how to properly care for them. We want your betta to thrive and live a happy life, so here are some helpful tips:
- Betta fish are jumpers, always secure a lid on your tank.
- Betta fish need natural day and night light cycles.
- Never place 2 males, or a male and female in the same tank unless breeding.
- Consider a tank divider to house two bettas in a single tank.
- Larger tanks are easier to maintain nitrogen cycles and temperature and require less frequent cleanings.
- Betta fish need plants and hiding places to feel safe.
- Maintain a tropical habitat at 76-81 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Betta fish prefer water in the pH range of 6.5-7.5.
- Use a water conditioner/dechlorinator to make tap water safe for bettas.
- Use an aquarium thermometer to monitor your tank’s temperature.
- Only remove your betta fish during 100% water changes.
- Betta fish are carnivores – they need protein-rich food.
- Keep the water’s surface unobstructed, they are surface feeders.
