Choosing a tank

Tanks are very important. The tank is your bettas whole world. Some factors of a good betta tank are:

• 2.5 gallons or more
• A sponge filter
• A thermometer
• A heater
• Gravel or sand
• Real or silk plants
• Hide places
• Other décor you would like

YOU CAN USE PLASTIC PLANTS BUT BE AWARE THAT THEY MIGHT TEAR YOUR BETTA'S FINS!

Filters, heaters, and thermometers are NOT optional. Betta fish are tropical fish and therefore need a heater to maintain the correct temperature. Thermometers are highly recommended so that your betta doesn't get boiled or hypothermia. Filters are needed unless you want to clean your tank every day.

Despite what petstore employees say, bettas can only thrive in a 2.5 gallon tank or more. They can survive in smaller, but they will not thrive.


Plants are optional but recommended so that it is appealing to the eye and your betta fish has more places to hide.

Some good tanks are: Minibow, Tetra 2909, Aquarium Garden, Contour Glass Aquarium.

Some bad tanks are: Bad, Badder, Animal Abuse.
