-
Every four – five days pour 2/3 of the bowl water into a clean plastic container.
-
Using a net, carefully transfer the betta into the plastic container.
-
Discard the remaining fish bowl water.
-
Rinse the bowl and gravel with lukewarm tap water.
-
Fill the bowl 1/3 full with fresh lukewarm tap water (approximately 75°F (24°C)).
-
Add a water conditioner to the bowl.
-
Using a net, put the betta back into the bowl.
-
Carefully pour the bowl water (in the plastic container) back into the fish bowl.
You are done! Don’t fill to the rim of the bowl. This will give your betta a greater surface area to breathe.
-
Bettas prefer a constant temperature in their environment. Any temperature between 75°F-82°F (24°C-28°C) is suitable as long as it changes less than 2° in 24 hours. Small heaters are available for aquariums in rooms that fluctuate in temperature.
-
Never use glass cleaner or other household chemicals to clean your bowl. They are toxic to your fish!
