best tank for your betta

In many pet stores, they show the bettas looking nice in tiny glass or plastic bowls. Many people think that a betta likes being in a small bowl. The thing is, betta fish HATE them, it will aslso shorten their life, with no space to swim, they get fat and die. The best you can do for them is to give them a large TANK over 5 gallons with a lot of decorations. Go with a tank that is wider than it is deep, betta fish require air to live and need to get it every couple minutes (tall tanks would restrict there time swiming on the bottom).

Betta's only get fat and die in small tanks if you feed them DAILY. You should give Betta's food every few days or give them the 7-day food tablets. If you feed them too much it could make them too sick.

Also about plants it could make Betta's sick if you have the wrong type because there are some plants that they are allergic to.
