A little bit of sunlight every week is good for a Betta. Do NOT leave your Betta in the sun! It will heat up the tank and could kill him. It will also bleach his coat and he will look sickly for the next few days.

∙ 13y agoYes they can, and a person can live in an 8'x8' cell. It's about the same thing, except the fish didn't do anything to deserve such punishment.
Bettas, like most other fish, like to swim around. A single betta needs a 5-10 gallon tank with a heater and filter for optimum health. Plants and caves make it more interesting for him and a couple of rasboras might work, depending on his aggressive tendencies. They can't be kept with other bettas, but do appreciate tank mates if they have room. The red ones tend to be more aggressive. If he is aggressive, he will not do well with other fish unless he's in at least a 30 gallon tank. People tend to think they don't live long, but if they have enough room, clean water, and consistent temperature, they will be much less stressed and can live for a lot longer than expected.
They can live in 2 gallons, but you can live in a bathroom if someone feeds you. It would probably shorten your life and certainly make it less healthy.
Most fish can live for a few months maybe, at the most in too small a space. That is nothing compared to 5-7 years (how long bettas usually live). A 5 gal tank with some ghost shrimp, a heater, filter and real plants would give a betta the best life ever.

Goldfish dont have to have a filter but they need water conditioner like all fish.Fish can survive without a filter but they are always good to have because you dont have to clean it out as often
What is the easiest fish to take care of?
Honestly i would say the betta is the easiset fresh fish to raise. Betta do not need a filter system to live unlike other fresh fish. Betta only eat three to four pellets a day and that's a lot of money save. (*Another word for 'betta fish' is Siamese fighting fish. they prefer 65F temp. water, and is as easy to care for to put in a bowl! They're quite suitable for children, and I've found this great website- 'www.betafish.com' Also, they are best surviving alone- why do you think they are called fighting fish? indeed they do fight! Don't leave soap residue around because it may cause death. Keep your tank or bowl covered. That's about it! Good luck! laura_wiki cheers!*) Please do not delete! spent ages finding info!
