Housing:

Most people look for a small fish tank or bowl to keep their betta in, this method has both benefits and downfalls. Cleaning a small tank must be frequent, as a filter won't fit. Temperature of the tank must be manually regulated, keeping the tank away from direct sunlight as well as a colder environment. Bettas need to be kept in water that is approximately 75-82 degrees F, as they originate from the warm waters of Thailand. A lid on your bowl or tank is highly recommended, as your betta fish is a notorious jumper.

Keep the fish away from high-traffic areas

The other option when housing a betta is a filtered, heated larger tank. 10 gallon tanks are inexpensive, typical, and give your little man lots of room to swim.

Feeding:

When it comes to Bettas, there is quite a variety of food they will consume. Some foods are better for the fish than others, as well as more expensive.

Betta food can be Flakes, Pellets, Frozen live food, Freeze-dried live food

Be careful not to overfeed your betta keeping in mind their stomachs are only about as big as their eye.

How long do male betta's live for in a bowl?

If you take really good care of you male betta fish then he could live up to 5years. Like, if you change their water like twice a week and if you feed them about twice a day and if you buy a little plant that they sell at pet stores,it's a little plant that goes at the bottom of your fish bowl and it gives the fish oxygen. But, if you decide to not take good care of your betta fish then he could only live for a couple of monthes. Hope that this helped you.
