Betta Fish Care FAQs - Top Six Frequently Asked Questions

Betta fish care FAQs is the essential answers to the frequently asked questions about caring for your Betta fish. These tropical fish, like any other delicate pet, require care and understanding in order for them to flourish in your home.

I have put together this short list of Betta fish care FAQs for your benefit:

1. How do I select the best Betta for me? Ultimately this is a question about your personal preference and connection with the fish of your choice. Some suggestions would be to pick a color you like. Pick one that will match your mood or possibly your décor. This isn't a monumental task. Just pick the one that makes you smile the most.

2. What size tank or bowl do I need? Your Betta will love to have more room than not. So, if it is in your budget, get a tank that holds a gallon of water.

3. How often should I feed my Betta fish? Frequently, but in small amounts. Feeding several times a day isn't uncommon.

4. Can my Betta get sick? You bet. These fish, although very hearty, can still get fungal infections, fin rot, etc so be sure to clean your tank regularly.

5. Where should I place my Betta? Anywhere you want, but preferably where others can see him or her. After all, one of the benefits of owning these beautiful fish is showing them off.

6. Can I have more than one Betta in the same tank? My first response to this question is no. These fish are very territorial and will fight to the death in a small tank. The operative word is small. I have heard and seen Bettas living together in a very big tank, but unless you are planning to invest that kind of time and money, I would rule against it.

I hope this short Betta fish care article will help you with buying and taking care of your fish. These tropical fish are some of the easiest to own and are very enjoyable to watch.
