Larger size bowls and aquarium tanks are far better for your Bettas that say those smaller orange-sized fish bowls!
They don't really qualify at all. More clear and clean water equals far better quality aquarium water. The best environment for an adult male Betta fish is a clear glass container which holds at least one gallon of water, and that has a sufficient surface area.
One and a half to 2 gallons in total size is absolutely perfect. But be sure that it comes with a lid you can secure. Don't forget Betta fish are great jumpers. Bettas that are constantly jumping will get through even the most minuscule of openings.
Betta Fish Love Clean Water!
Try and replace your Bettas water with aged tap water that you've let stand for at least 24-hours so that any clorine has time to dissipate.
Please **DO NOT** use distilled water as it can be harmful to your pet Betta because it won't contain any necessary minerals and salts. Probably the best water to use is cold tap water only. Again, just let it sit for about 24-hours until it raises to room temperature. When it reaches room temperature add a little aquarium salt to the tank or bowl usually about a level teaspoon is good.
If you add one level teaspoon to roughly two gallons of water, and it will greatly reduce the chance of your pet Betta catching any type of disease.
Even though your bowl or tank water reaches room temperature it's best to make sure it's between 75 to 80 degrees F. Any less and you're pet Betta will become listless and sluggish. This is a good indicator that you may need to buy an aquarium heater.
