Before keeping bettas, i hope that betta keepers would know their basic requirements.
Many a times, people would just go into an aquarium saw a certain type of beautiful fish and bought it without even knowing their needs or how to keep that.
To avoid making this mistake or i would say causing harm to the betta, i would love to share some basic betta keeping info.
Bettas typically live about 2-3 years, some as long as 5 years. Usually those bettas purchased in aquariums are about 8 months old at least.
Bettas should be kept individual tanks as they will fight each other. Some female bettas can be comm together.
Is filtration needed for bettas?
I keep my tanks in bare 1-feet cube tanks without filters. However water changes will be conducted every 4 days. Anti-chlorine is added to treat the water and left with aeration for 2 days before use.
