The brightly colored betta fish from the tropical countries of Cambodia and Thailand is a favorite of people who like to have fish as pets. The betta fish, which originated from fresh waters, may be bought in a variety of colors including turquoise, red, orange, blue, yellow, and green. Here are some tips on looking for the best betta fish supplies and tanks for your home.

Even if you find betta fish being shown in beautiful vases at pet shops, this is not the best arrangement for this tropical fish. This kind of fish is known to be able to survive in tight places such as in rice paddies, but this does not mean that this is the best way to care of it.

This fish likes to breathe in atmospheric air when it gets to the top of the water because it has a labyrinth organ. So, make sure that it has access to the top of the water by not having any plants, such as water lilies, covering the water surface. Betta fish tanks must have a volume of about two gallons of water to provide enough space for your pet to swim around and to ensure that its fan-like tails and fins are not harmed.

Some experts claim that there is no need for filtration and aeration systems for the betta fish aquarium because this type of tropical fish does not really need as much dissolved oxygen in the water as the other kinds. However, for better health, it is advisable to put in some kind of filtration system to prevent the accumulation of toxins that can come from decaying plants, bacteria, and other harmful chemicals like ammonia.

Luckily, you can save some money by not having to buy a separate aeration system because the filtration device can also provide this. It can cause bubbles on the water surface and this is enough for the purpose of introducing more oxygen into the water.

Gravel is really not necessary, though you can add some gravel but not too much. Make sure to buy those that have not been treated with chemicals. Wash the gravel first before putting them inside the tank to get rid of any contaminants including dust.

You can purchase betta fish supplies like fish food that has been freeze dried or frozen, pellets, and flakes. However, you can also offer glass worms, blood worms, or brine shrimp because this fish is carnivorous. Some bettas may not like to eat pellets so always check first to see what your fish prefers. Uneaten pellets and flakes should be removed from the water because they can rot and produce toxins.

To take care of your betta fish, try to observe how it looks when it is healthy and note any changes in its appearance such as a change in color, when it fails to eat, or if it keeps on hiding. It would be best to consult someone who knows a lot about betta fish before you try to treat it with medication.
