first of all what kind of container are u talking about? the one it came in or the aquarium your putting it in. just a little fyi IF YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR FISH. YOU WILL NEED (1) FILTER (1) HEATER SET TO 80 DEGREES F, YES 80 DEGREES. This is because they are origionally found in the swamps of Cambodia, Thailand, and around that area. (3) the minimal size of the aquarium should be no less that 2.5 gallons THEY NEED TO MOVE AROUND IN ORDER TO STAY HEALTHY AND KEEP A STRONG AMUNE SYSTEM. (5) LIVE PLANT(S) BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM TO FEEL SOMEWHAT INSTINCTIVELY AT HOME. a HELTHY BETTA FISH WILL BUILD A BUBBLE NEST. THEY NEED A HIGH PROTEIN DIET. IN THE WILD THEY EAT INSECTS SUCH AS MOSQUITO LARVA, WORMS FLIES, AND OTHER INSECTS. USE A LOW LEVEL LIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY FOUND IN A MERKEY TYPE WATER. if you do these small things for your fish you will double theri live span and be more lively in general. i have had the same 3 bettas for 5 years and their still healthy and kicking. one is a crowntail and the other two are half moons.

What happens when the betta fish start mating?
Before the mating period, the male betta will create a bubble nest, where the eggs will reside. Once the female is near, they will usually fight each other before finally mating. Once they finish, the male will take the eggs in his mouth and put them in the nest. If these are pet betta fish, then the female should be removed after an hour or two.

How do you change the water in the bowl for your betta fish?
How to change your Betta fish's bowlFirst, fill a cup with your fishes water, and then gentle without hurting your Betta, scoop him up with your net, and then put him in the cup. Then, take the plant out of the bowl, and lay it aside on a paper towel or napkin. Afterwards, take a strainer, and pour the water into the strainer over a sink. Then, wash out the pebbles with nontoxic soap and water. Put your pebbles aside for now. After you did that, fill your fish bowl with warm water only for 5 seconds. Then, take your sponge, and dip it in the warm water, take the same nontoxic soap you used for the pebbles, and add a little to the sponge, and then scrub! Until the algae is gone. then, rinse thoroughly until the suds are gone. Afterwards, put your plastic plant in your fish bowl, and then, dump your pebbles into the fish bowl. After that has been completed, stick your index finger into the fish's cup water (without hitting the fish!) and run the sink to the same temperature as the cup water, and fill it all most all the way. Gently, pick your Betta fish up with your net and then place him into his nice, clean home!Note:If you have clearifire for your fish bowl, use as directed.

Bettas are dumb as rocks. If you put another betta, any other anabantid like a gourami, or any long-finned fish in with a betta, the betta will fight it because he will think it's another betta. If you put a short-finned fish in with your betta, they'll live together peacefully.

Does bettas move a lot?
Betta fishes like any other fish can get stressed by movements. In fact one of the most stressful experiences for a fish is travel from the pet store to a new house. So, depending on the length of the travel, yes, you might be able to take your betta fish. If its a short travel, make sure you double bag and bag again with a bubble wrap and cover it with something dark (so the fish doesn't get stressed by the outside). I don't recommend taking the betta on long distance or on flights. Hope I answered your question. Source: Owner of betta fishes
