Betta fish enjoy a water temperature ranging from 72–82 degrees Fahrenheit with a water type that is slightly acidic (pH at 6–8). Additionally, betta fish need dechlorinated fresh water, as well as regular testing for healthy levels of ammonia and other elements. A filter with a gentle flow and a heater help keep the water clean and warm. Soft plants are enjoyable for betta fish, as are rocks, hides, and other betta fish tank decor.
Hiding places are very important to betta fish. Whether it's in a log, plant, or other betta fish tank decor, these fish enjoy hiding; it provides a sense of security and allows them to relax or snooze.
Many different plants that are ideal for fish tanks. Artificial plants include: water wisteria, kelp, dwarf water lettuce, red root floaters, cabomba, water sprite, and many more. Live plants to consider include Java ferns, Anubias, sword plant, water sprite, and more. With live plants, opt for those that do well with minimal light and are easy-care. Consult your fish-savvy veterinarian for guidance on which plants and which betta fish tank decor work best for your fish and setup.
