Hey all
I just got a beautiful betta fish as my first fish and I want to do things right.
I have some fake plants and a small little Buddha ornament (all purchased at Petsmart) that will go in his bowl. Its a smaller bowl...well coffee pot to be exact but its still much bigger than the betta bowls I saw at Petsmart.
I also have white gravel that is going in. For the water I bought two things. TopFin Betta Water Conditioner and BettaCare Bowl Buddies.
I would like to know how to...
-Clean the gravel correctly
-How much gravel to use
-Treat the water correctly before putting it in the bowl (pot)
-Cleaning the bowl
-And how to move the fish
I basically just need a walk through to keep my fish going strong.
If at all possible I would like to know how to get his bowl started correctly now and also...how to clean it the right way every week or so.
Thanks!
