The Betta is a tropical fish and needs to be kept at around 78F to 80F so a heater/thermostat is neccessary. All fish need to have a filter running too. The pH should be around pH6.8 and the water hardness around 6dGH. Then all you need to do is follow the basic rules of fish keeping. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

Bettas are insectivores so they are best fed a special Betta food that is available at pet shops. A few mosquito larvae or brine shrimp are also advised as a nice weeklu treat for the fish.
