| Up Keep: |
A single male will be fine if kept in a community tank. These fish prefer warm water with a temperature around 75 to 85 F. |
| Breeding: |
The male builds a bubble nest at the surface of the water. Water surface should be still to allow for the nest to be built. Lower the water level and the fry will hatch after 24 hrs. |
| Comments: |
Keeping a Betta fish in a small glass container is cruel to
the fish. The fish should be kept in a tank with good
heating and filtration. |
