Choosing the right betta fish for your tank
Bettas thrive in a heated, filtered aquarium of 5 gallons or more, not a bowl. Keep the water at 76 to 82°F with a pH near neutral, use a gentle filter so their long fins are not pushed around, and add live or silk plants and a cave for resting. Bettas breathe air from the surface, so leave a gap under the lid.
Keep only one male per tank; males will fight each other. A single male can live with peaceful, non-nipping tankmates such as Corydoras, snails, or small rasboras in a larger tank, while females can be kept in groups with plenty of space and cover. Feed betta pellets as a staple with frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp as treats, in small portions once or twice a day.

Frequently asked questions
What tank size do betta fish need?
A 5 gallon heated and filtered tank is the recommended minimum; larger tanks are even better and easier to keep stable.
Can bettas live with other fish?
Often yes, with calm, short-finned tankmates like Corydoras and snails. Never keep two males together or house bettas with fin-nippers.
How long do betta fish live?
With warm, clean water and a good diet, bettas commonly live 3 to 5 years.
