do betta need airaters? mine seem to hate it alot. they have filters...
Hi, Surfer, sorry for the loss of your betta pal. I'm planning to move my crowntail betta Renji to a 15g column soon, and I like the setup in your pics. Could you tell me what kind of plants and rocks you have in there?
Thanks!
Yay I'm happy someone understands and loves their betta(s)
Thank you! They definitely love the space.
One good thing about my lfs is the betta's are all placed in tanks with other fish and not in cups its actually nice to see
That's awesome that they do that , how many gallons do they keep them in ?
They're in 10 gallon tanks, peaceful fish in with them as well which is really good that's where I bought mine. And the fish are well cared for i wouldn't go anywhere else
I hope everyone on this forum will read this but I bet 90% won't because betta fish are so misunderstood people think they can just throw them in a vase or little bowl that's smaller than 0.3 gallons , but bettas actually need 3-10 gallons the best are 5 , 8 , and 10 and if you don't have enough money to buy them a 3-10 gallon tank , heater , good food , treats , a liquid water test kit , plants , etc than don't even bother getting one , just because stores sell them in little cups doesn't mean they have to go in a 1- gallon bowl , if you've ever heard that betta fish live in puddles in the wild , its a myth , they use puddles to travel to huge bodies of water , and the longest they will live in a puddle is 2-5 days if they have to but they don't enjoy it , that is why they are good jumpers and they have a labrynth gill so they don't need oxygen in the water , I hope all the 10% of people on this forum that read this now understands the some of the proper needs of a betta fish and I hope they do not misunderstand betta fish anymore

Bettas are amazing fish and it's sad that most people dont admire them the same way they admire marine fish.
I know it's really sad , they shouldn't be in anything smaller than 2.5
