Aquarium Care & Husbandry
Husbandry Requirements
Provide a heated, filtered aquarium with gentle flow, hiding places, and easy access to the surface. A 5-gallon aquarium is a reasonable minimum for a single Betta; larger tanks are preferable for community setups. Avoid fin-nipping fish and use tankmates only when the aquarium is suitably sized and the individual Betta is tolerant.
Keeper Note: Straightforward care requirements, but their territorial nature requires careful planning and selection of tank sizes and companions.
