Aquarium for Betta Fish




Thanks to a tip from Calamity J. on my post about - I think I have revived his aquarium set up a bit! The use of the term "terrarium" is a little loose- its just some marbles, charcoal and a plant in a bowl. At C.J.'s suggestion I added some fungal drops after scrubbing down his bowl and marbles. He looks happy and alert already and seems to be using his fins more.

  2. Awww, that little aquarium isn't big enough for a big beautiful beta. If you can manage a 1 gallon container with a small filter, your beta will be big and beautiful and will be less prone to disease. Betas CAN live in an aquarium that size, but they'll look GORGEOUS in a larger one.

    I had an aquarium when I was younger and was crap at raising fish. It wasn't until recently that I learned how much I was doing wrong. I stumbled across beta fish care and had no idea betas could look so pretty until I looked through some pics on a beta fish forum. I feel so bad for all those fish I killed. Ugh. Reading those forums, I am now fully convinced I shouldn't have fish with everything else I have going on. I am in awe of people who can maintain a gorgeous aquarium.
