Like how often should I change my tanks? And I need somebody to answer that really knows about this for the sake of my fish. No offense to anyone else. I still like your advice. If you could, could you also give me a link to a real website if you know any that can answer this question.
When I started keeping bettas the recommended frequency of feeding was once every other day. Now most recommend once or twice/day. My bettas always done fine on a 3 day/week feeding. In either case the important thing is to only feed what they can eat immediately then scoop up any extra so it won't foul the water.
It depends on the fish, some fish can tolerate dirty water, others can't. Some even like dirty water, but like I said, it depends on your fish. My friend has a betta fighting fish and I think he cleans it about once a month, but when he does he uses a water conditioner to make tap water safe for the fish.
Ohh I see. We place just one tiny pellet (they're seriously about the size of a tiny freckle) at a time and we feed him 3 pellets 3 times a day (morning/afternoon/lunch). Is it possible for them to eat too much? Im gonna do some googling tomorrow...
Bettas are a special case. They eat little so they naturally poop little. Bettas can also breath air so aeration isn't necessary. When I kept a betta in my office I used a 1 gal tank changing 1/3 of the water every month and feeding M-W-F.
When I had my fish I cleaned and changed the water like every 2 months, don't forget to clean the gravel and any accessories that r in the tank. To keep ur tank cleaner longer invest in a couple algae eaters
My friend feeds his betta 3 tiny little pellets 3 times a day... I bet that's too much :/
