Why People Like Bettas So Much

try google
quit the bleaching
and maybe try a air powered sponge filter and heater?
use bacteria, don't fear them
fear of bacteria and reliance on chemicals is the dark path.
Only death and expense awaits ya there.

Perhaps you can help me keep a Betta alive...I also love them. I need some
tips as the last several I've had died.

I use a well washed bowl, bleached, very well rinsed and set in the
sunshine. I think one mistake I've done is to put them in distilled water,
from my home distiller.

My previous ones (in spring water) got a white film, I doctored with pet
store remedies. I also had a "betta bulb" in the bowl, hoping the growth
would give them something to sleep under.

The home distilled water is now out . The betta bulb is now out and I want
to go get a new Betta.

Please advise as to specific care and feeding, water changes, how often,
bowl location and size (currently using a 1 gal), etc, as I love watching
them swim about.

This website on your posting reads this: This blog is under review due
to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations and is open to authors

I'm ashamed and embarrassed with my ignorance and rate of my "flush
funerals".

Thanks in advance,

Nicki.

1. Their amazing good looks. Everyone's amazed by the rich colors of
my bettas and their dramatic fins. They're stunning little creatures.
In my large collection of bettas I've got everything you can imagine.
There's Rusty, who's red with shiny green fins. Kermit, who's green.
Marvin, my marble. Sunny, my solid yellow. Mermaid, my turquoise
beauty.
2. Bettas have personality, unlike so many other types of fish. They
wag their tails, have minds of their own, and enchant people with
their cute antics. To display their personality they do need to be
healthy and happy though, and I'll give you the secrets to make it
easy for you.
3. They're addictive! Once you unlock the secrets of how to care for
them, how can you not fall in love with the sight of their wiggly,
vibrant bodies excited to see you? How can you not become fascinated
by all of those radiant colors swimming around?
