Finally a good article on Bettas in Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine.
(Koi-Lo...please read it. It basically says every thing I have been saying over and over that you claim is my own opinion, and not fact. Learn something and give your bettas the proper care they need!) It's in the September issue, pg. 86. The only thing it lacked was the proper pronunciation of Betta ("bet-uh"). Some highlights: Water temp...80*f Ideal set up is planted tank (not a bowl or vase). Vases are "sorely inadequate habitats". Minimum volume for a single Betta is 1g, preferably 2 or 3 gallons. Room temps are not adequate, unless the room temp is at tropical temps (high 70's-low80's). Their ability to breathe air and therefore not asphyxiate in a small amount of water often condems them to a lingering death from ammonia poisoning in a vase or bowl. So folks, please get those poor Bettas out of the vases or bowls! They shouldn't be there! And Koi-Lo...don't argue. It only shows your ignorance of proper Betta husbandry. |
