How do you clean your betta bowl without disturbing your betta's bubble nest??? Or do you have too???
Thanks.

You have to.
Although Malachai ALWAYS has a new nest going the next day!
I just cleaned his tank last night and he's got one going.

You were right Kay, he's got another on the go

I always take my Betta out of his tank and put him in a little bowl with a cover. Than I dump all the water out of his tank and rinse it clean, add fresh water the same temp as his old water and plop him back in!

I rinsed it out a few times, but left a tiny bit of his old water in in order to keep some germs in there, I read that somewhere that they need a small amount of urine in the water. Then I put th water in same temp as he is in and drop a couple drops of tank conditioner in the water to kill the chlorine. Then I mix it a bit a put him back in.

My tank self cleans....its for work, so that was the best option.

I just noticed Rupert is making bubble nests now. He's such a happy boy! Yay!
