i agree with everything in this video except the bowl part.not only will u be water changing every day(which is really stressful for your betta)your betta needs more room to swim i would say at least a 2.5 gallon enclosure(3 gallons for a king betta or a betta with abnormaly long fins)with a heater and a filter.(a heater is optional as long as your house is heated at 80 degrees ferenheit 24-7 and have a back up plan if the power goes out).also bowls don't come with lids so if you do have all the requirements for a bowl i would either put seran wrap with holes(bettas are a labyrinth fish so that means they get oxygen from the surface)or leave an inch of unfilled bowl(i would not recommend this because it is already a small space for the betta).like cory i recommend a 10 gallon tank even if you have a heater, filter and a minimum tank size for the betta you still will be stressing out that betta by doing water changes every other day. because you would be stressing out the fish so frequently it will start to get sick and trust me meds are NOT cheap. so all in all if you really think about it it costs much more and its more time consuming and unnecessary stress for the fish to have a dinkey little bowl rather than a beautiful stress free tank. the only time i would be fine with putting a betta in such a small space is for a temporary breeding breeding situation and even then you would have to be an experienced expert to make this as stress free as possible and remember its very temporary. so that's my input from someone who has had bettas and knows breeders.
Hey bud, how is everything with you? I had an emergency betta question!! Our betta is doing pine cone/ dropsy all of a sudden, she is lethargic and not swimming very well! Please help when you get a chance, it would be greatly appreciated

Do you think a 50 watt nano heater automatically set at 78.8 is to many wattage for a 5 1/2 gallon tank ?
We just got a betta fish and I really want the best for it so I’m researching about it and what it needs, thanks this really helped 🙂
I think 5 gallon should be a minimum, but in the case of some bettas bigger is better.
Thanks for making this video as im going to be adopting a betta fish soon
