Considering a Betta fish

Caring for Betta fish is often an underestimated chore. Many people do not care for their Betta fish properly as a result of seeing those little 'Betta bowls' or similar at the pet shop.

First, you should generally keep your Betta fish alone as a beginner to Betta fish keeping. Betta fish should be kept in a 5 gallon tank. They do not like fast moving water so try and get a filter that is no more than 50 gallons per hour.

After that they also need heated water. For a 5 gallon tank you need a 25 watt heater and should keep the tank at around 76 degrees.
