Betta Fish Care – A Guide
Betta fish are one of the most widely favoured pets in the world. The only problem with betta fish is that they take a lot of care and attention to make sure that they stay fit and healthy, but if you take the time to care for them, then you will be rewarded with an amazing pet.This can put many people off, and perhaps it is beginning to put you off the prospect of buying a betta fish, however I urge you to reconsider, especially if thoughts of caring for the betta fish have put you off. Betta fish care is actually quite simple when you break it down into smaller sub-topics, such as diet, choosing the right tank, maintaining the tank and co-habitation.
What Your Betta Should Eat
Your betta’s diet needs to be delivered on a regular basis, just like most pet’s diet. Most people don’t realise that you need to feed your betta the specific amount of food that is shown on the packet, because if too much is put in the tank, then it will grow bacteria and cause harm to your betta.
One often overlooked aspect of a betta fish’s diet is variety. It can be fatal if you do not vary a betta’s diet, because they need a diverse range of nutrients. I feed my betta a number of different foods, such as dried food for example betta pellets and also foods such as dried shrimp.
Maintaining and Choosing a tank
Your betta tank needs to be at least ten gallons in volume. Avoid putting accessories in your new tank because it can cause your new tank to be contaminated with disease, which can be fatal for your betta. Make sure that you allow the filter on the tank to run through on complete cycle before you put the betta fish in, otherwise there is a good chance the betta fish will get ammonium poisoning. Try to maintain the water temperature at around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sharing a Tank?
Do not put your betta fish together. Siamese Fighting Fish is a less common name for betta fish, but if you put two betta fish together, you will find out exactly where the name comes from! Two betas will fight to the death if you put them in the same tank. Don’t be tempted to try it, the results are nearly always fatal.
The only exception to this rule is if you are breeding betta fish. You need to be very careful when betta breeding, as once the male is finished with the female betta fish, he will begin to attack her and if he is not removed, he will kill her. This is the main reason why betta fish breeding is so hard.
It is essential that you master how to care for betta fish before you begin to breed betta fish. If you would like to learn more about betta fish breeding then please visit our site.
It is really important that you follow the advice in this article, as it will determine the success of your betta ownership!
