How Do You Set Up A Betta Fish Tank?
Betta fish are beautiful and interesting to watch. They are also great for beginners, due to their robust nature and minimal care requirements. Setting up a betta fish tank is easy, but requires a few days before the fish can be added. The cost of this project varies depending on the number of fish and size of the tank. Since bettas are tropical fish, they require tight control of the water temperature. As such, a thermometer and heater are required for a betta tank. Determine the necessary size of the fish tank based on the number of fish and personal preference. Consider that each adult betta fish will require one gallon of water. These are minimum guidelines; however, bettas love to have plenty of space. Purchase the tank, heater, filter, gravel and other decorations. These supplies can be found at pet stores and local retailers. Wait until the tank is completely set up before purchasing the fish. Wash out the tank, gravel and decorations using water only. Do not use any detergents
