Betta Fish Vases
Betta Fish Vases
can i cycle a vase with a betta fish in it? or what would be the best way to go about it?
the vase holds about 1 gallon of water..
i’m thinking water changes would be stressful on the betta because since it’s such a small amount of water, concentrations of anything (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, etc) would change significantly at the slightest change of water. so how should i cycle the vase? do i make any adjustments to the norm of cycling a tank? like should i increase/decrease the %age of weekly water changes or increase how often i do water changes or both??
my friends got me a betta in a vase for my birthday and i’m away at college, but i have a fish tank at home. i’ve had some fish care experience and i’m worried about the whole fish in vase/bowl controversy. but what if you place gravel in the vase from an already established fish tank???
please state the reliability of your answer ie. you’re a veterinarian, you study fish, you’ve cared for whatever fish for however many years, etc.
First of all a vase isn’t the right place for a betta, no matter what others will tell you
You should get a 2.5 gallon with heater and filter for your little beauty and fill it up with gravel, water and filter media from an already established tank, that way you get rid of the cycling process
I have 6 bettas right now, whereas
1 male is in a 5 gallon tank with a cory cat and a couple of male platies
and
5 females in a 10 gallon tank with platy’s and cory cats
Here is also an article for you to read up on

I’m keeping fish since 10 years right now, and have currently 5 tanks up and running
Hope that helps
Good luck
