How to Care for Betta Fish

Video Transcript

"Hi, today we're talking about the betta fish, also known as the Siamese fighting fish. They're a beautiful fish, and they come in a variety of types. We have ragtails, twintails, showtails, so all you have to do is pick out the betta fish that you like. My name is Michael, and I'm going to show you how to set your beta up. First, we're going to find a bowl that we like and set it up with water. You're going to use a conditioner, and all you have to do is follow the directions for that. You want to make sure you have something that's going to remove the ammonias, the chloramines, and make that water safe for the betta. Once you have your water set up, I recommend letting the bowl sit for a couple hours with the betta fish in the bag that you had bought it in, so that the temperatures can acclimate. Then you're going to use your net, and you're going to pour the, over the sink, you're going to pour the betta fish into the net and then place it into the bowl. We don't want to mix water that we've gotten from other aquariums into our bowl with our betta. You can also, there's different decorations that you can use. If you want to do gravel in the bottom there's gravel, there's small plants. Have fun with it. Decorate it the way that you'd like to decorate it. And when you feed your betta fish find yourself a pellet. Pellets are easier than flakes, and all you have to do is give em' a couple pellets a day, and you'll have a happy betta fish. So, enjoy your betta fish, and you have a good day. My name is Michael, and I showed you how to set up a betta bowl."
