The betta, also known as fighter fish, fish is native to Asia. It measures between 6 to 10 inches. We can find them in various colors: white, blue or orange.
To avoid fights between them, it is suitable to raise them alone or in couple and never in group, and do not have in the same Aquarium several males, since they are very territorial and not put to death among them. Even if we see a male attacking the female rejecting it, we will have to separate immediately.
Usually live in sloughs and ponds with low oxygenation.
The betta fish is adacta very well to live in small aquariums, but the ideal is one of at least 10 litres. For breeding, it is sufficient for one of 30 litres. The depth of the water should not exceed 15-20 cm.
-In aquariums of 10 l changes must be every third day, 30% to 50% of the water.
-From 20 to 40 l without filter, a 30% weekly change.
-With sponge filter every 15 days
-With minimum flow waterfall filter once a month.
