Can i use a jar for betta fish?
While you can use a jar for a betta fish, it is not an ideal environment. Jars typically lack adequate space, filtration, and heating, which are essential for the health of the fish.

No! Well, that depends on what you mean by a fishbowl. If you literally mean a bowl with marbles and water like you would use for a goldfish or a betta, no. If you mean an aquarium with plants and an actual heater and filter, then yes. Hatchet fish make good freshwater aquarium fish.

Can an Oscar live in a 1 gallon bowl Pls take note that it is without a heater or filter I've heard they only get to about an inch long and though it would do ok in a bowl Please help?
Absolutely not. One oscar fish needs at least a 75 gallon (US) tank on it's own as they can grow up to a foot in size. If you have already bought the fish, please return it to the store and let them know that you do not have a large enough aquarium for it. You are best to use the 1 gallon bowl as a change bowl, and instead spend a bit of money on a betta tank kit for one betta fish, or 2 if you get one with a divider as they cannot be in the same tank together.
Can you use real seashells in a betta bowl?
Yes. First boil the shells in a pot on the stove. The heat gets rid of any bacteria or germs. You can aso put them in the rinse cycle in a dish washer, without any other dishes. (the soap is poisonous to your fish) Do not use any shells that curl or wrap over. Your betta's fins can get stuck. Use flat sheels. After washing them in the pot or dishwasher, allow them to dry over night. Then place them in your fish bowl.
How can I prevent betta fin damage from filter in my aquarium?

How often do you clean your half gallon fish tank?
I personally would empty it, then scrub it clean and use it occasionally as a flower vase. It is not large enough to keep any kind of fish in properly. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta is a 3 inch fish). Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. The above is not completely true. A Betta in a half gallon tank should have half of its water replaced each week. You should use a conditioner with that water (mine came with Nutrafin Betta Bowl Water Conditioner). I also make 20% of it HBH Betta H2O, which can be bought in bottles.

Do Betta fish drink spring water?
Some people do not believe it but the best water to use in your betta fish tank is tap water. Bottled and distilled water has been "purified" and does not have the minerals that your Betta fish needs. If your tap water is so bad that you do not even drink it, than use spring water.
