Can softened well water be used for betta fish?
Yes
What kind of name brands of bottled water can use on your betta fish?
Zephyrhills ...Spring Water...not Distilled, not Drinking...simply Spring Water. Zephyrhills Spring Water! That's all I used for my 3 Betta fish...they lived for quite some time happily blowing bubble nests and more little bubbles around the edge of their bowls. DeerPark Water I believe is the same exact thing although may be less expensive; if you go to each website it will look the same. My mother decided to no longer buy bottled water for her Betta fish, so she started adding TetraAqua BettaSafe to faucet water and cleans the 2 gallon bowl once a week, feeds him his Betta pellet food and also frozen brine shrimp. Her last Betta lived 5 years!
Is betta water conditioner safe for goldfish?
Yes, your betta water conditioner should be a standard water conditioner that can be used in any fish tank.
What kind of water do betta fish use?
You should use tap water or bottled water. If you are using tap or bottled water, make sure you buy a bottle of Water Air Contitioner for the Betta. Make sure it says: Betta Water Conditoner, or on the bottle it says it can be used on all kinds of fish. Also, at Petco, they have a gallon of something called Betta Water. You won't need any chemicals for this, they made this water safe for the Betta. Thinking about buying a Betta Fighting Fish or need the right supplies for it? Here is the list of supplies that you will need: -A GLASS bowl. [Plastic bowls might have harmful chemicals] -Betta Water Conditioner [Or a water conditoner that can be used for any kind fish] -Betta Fish Food -Rocks for the bowl -1 or more plants [Betta's love plants to hide in] - A sponge to clean out the Betta bowl [Clean it twice a week] -If you want, you could buy a net IF YOU want to. You could put him in a cup, too. This is about everything you need. By the way, you shouldn't put a Betta male and female together UNLESS its their breeding period. Otherwise, the male might damage the female because males are much larger then the females. NEVER put the same sex [male&male/female&female] together, because they WILL fight. Places to get Betta Fighting Fish: Petsmart, Petco, Walmart Supercenter. If you need to know anything else about the betta fight fish, look it up on www.Google.com , There should be some good sites there. Hope this information is helpful!! Good luck taking care of your Betta Fighting Fish!Bettas are freshwater fish and can be kept in dechlorinated tapwater (buy water treatment from your pet store). However, they do need their water kept clean and warm. It should be changed often, especially if not filtered. A betta MUST be kept either in a room with central heating, or in a heated tank or bowl. The water should not be allowed to drop below 18 degrees C.
Do betta fish need air pump?
Betta fish do not need to be in oxygenated water because they gulp air from the surface of the water. They can be kept in a variety of small containers. I found some really stylish ones online at www.bigalsonline.com. I attached a link for you!
Which water is better for a betta tap water of bottled?
Regular cold water will do just fine. They don't need aquarium heaters, but they do like it to be anywhere from 65-72 degrees. While they do not respond well to temperature fluctuations, they can handle your tap water pretty adeptly. You only need to dechlorinate it, by using a prepared dechlorinator, or by letting the water sit out overnight to "de-fume". Overall, tap and well water is the best for bettas. If you are unsure about your water quality, bring a sample to Petsmart or your local fish store for a free water test to make sure, and ask their opinion. Bottled, filtered water is too sterile for pet fish. Your fish need the minerals present in natural water. Basically, don't used bottled water. Tap water is fine. If unsure of quality, bring a sample to a pet-store and ask.
Can you use just regular water from the tap for a beta?
Tap water is the best water for betta fish! There is no need to go out and buy expensive betta fish water...it's no different then tap! If you want to be sure that the tap water is safe for your betta, put in some sort of conditioner for the water.

Betta fish used to be dull colored fish that lived in small puddles in Cambodia, Thailand, and other places in Asia.
Can the Betta h2o conditioner be used for other fish?
Yes. All fish need the chlorine and ammonia in water to be neutralized, so all conditioners have the same effect.
1 gallon tank what type of fish can you put in it?
A 1 gallon tank could have one betta fish, but you will need to be diligent about changing the water on a regular basis. The smallest tank that should be used, even for a betta, is a 2.5 gallon tank as it at least gives the fish swimming room.
When does a Betta fish decide to eat?
If the fish is still getting used to it's surroundings, it might not eat. This is normal. Usually if betta fish are comfortable, they will eat as soon as they smell or see the food.
What country does the tropical fish known as betta splendens come from?
Betta's originally come from Thailand, which used to be known as Siam. Hence the name "Siamese Fighting Fish".
