Betta fish in a regular old fish bowl you put a plant in the bowl your question is what type of plant is this and is it a plant that is safe for your Betta I have a pic but the link won't post?

Betta fish need filtered and oxygenated tanks just like other freshwater fish. Pet stores that tell you that Betta fish don't need much room or filtered tanks are either ill-informed or just plain unethical. Too much current flow isn't healthy since Bettas like slow moving water. If you are putting a plant inside a tank with your Betta (and not keeping the Betta in a vase with a plant growing out of the top and the roots growing into the Betta's space), any freshwater fish-friendly plant is good. Just make sure that it is soft so it doesn't damage the Betta's delicate and beautiful fins. Don't put a Betta in a vase with or without a plant growing above it. Also, don't keep them in tight containers or small cups. This practice is cruel and inhumane!


Do betta fish like big or small tanks?

Bettas have evolved to be able to survive in small amounts of water but they do not necessarilly do well under those conditions. They are basically the same as all fish and need the same basic conditions. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta is a 3 inch fish) Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Bettas are tropical and also need to be kept at around 78F.

This is a BIG NO NO!! Bettas need at least 2.5 gallons of water to themselves, and if you put a male and a female together, it will most likely result with you have two dead bettas. Keep your boy and girl in separate 2.5 gallon heated tanks.
