Betta Fish Life Expectancy how do i properly take care of a betta fish?
i have 2 betta fish. I feed them 2 freeze dried blood worms in the morning and 2 at night. i skip one day of the week to not feed them(today) and the following day i usually give them a piece of raw meat, and nothing else. They both hate pellets! i went threw 9 brands of pellets and they hate them all. I waited for about 4 days without them eating and they still didn’t eat the pellets so i gave them blood worms instead. I clean out the bowls about once every 2-3 weeks(not too often because it disturbs the water) they get filtered water plus water conditioner too be on the safe side) My first one has been with me for about 2 months and my new one i got about a week and a half ago. they love me! am i a good or bad owner? is this good feeding? tell me ANY OTHER CARE ON BETTA FISH! i want these 2 fish too live for about 3-4 years(there life expectancy )
Bettas and no other fish for the matter belong in a bowl.
Each betta needs at very least 5 gallons of space (divided in half 10 gal would probably be the best bet here). They also need heated water as they are tropical fish originating from thailand.
Filtration is necessary to turn toxic fish waste (ammonia) into relatively harmless nitrate by bacteria (ammonia is toxic even at levels as low as .4 ppm, nitrate is 30,000 less toxic than ammonia). Establishing those bacterial colonies is called cycling.
While cycling with fish is NOT recommended, in your case it would be the best way to go. A sterile tank is still better than two bowls.

The rich are not only getting richer, they are becoming more dangerous. Starting in the early 1980s the top one percent (1%) broke away from the rest of us to become the most unstable force in the economy. An elite that had once been the flat line on the American income charts – models of financial propriety – suddenly set off on a wild ride of economic binges.        …

Betta Fish Feeding how do you feed your betta fish with other fish in the tank?
I was just wondering, when I get some different fish in my tank with my betta fish, how will i feed each fish without them eating each others? It’s always been a mystery to me.
It really doesn’t matter if they share the same type of food.
