Betta fish care




Recommended Diet.
BettaMin™ Floating Flake Food and Delecta™ Freeze Dried Blood Worms both made by Tetra™ and available in most pet stores and Wal-Mart Stores. We also feed the fish in our fish bowls a few live Black Worms three days a week and occasionally some live or frozen brine shrimp. A little bit of live food is very good, but too much seems to cause problems.
I feed all the inhabitants of my fish bowls a few Black Worms every other day




Compatibility.
You can add an African Dwarf Frog, but it will need to eat live food such as live Black Worms at least three times a week.




Plant Care.



Do not use any plants except the natural water plants that are not toxic to the fish. The plants' roots grow down into the water and absorbs small amounts of waste produced by the betta fish. The plant also produces oxygen into the air. If the plants' root grows too large or becomes brown and soggy, you may cut them back. If the plant becomes too massive at the top (leaves) you may separate the plant and plant that part of the plant that is not being used. One of the best water plant to use is the Chinese Evergreen, it tolerates very low lighting and it's a hydroponic plant. Note: Our plants have been preconditioned, this procedure prepares the plant's roots for aquatic adaptation.
