Betta Fish Help again

Can I have a tank air cleaner thing?
If a betta flares it's fins it's a good sign right?

I prefer silk plants instead of plastic. Sometimes the plastic is a bit hard and can tear their fins. The best way to test it is to take a pair of panty hose and run it across the fake plant, it the plant makes a run in the panty hose then odds are it will tear the betta's fins. A 2.5 minibow is a fantastic tank for a single betta. They usually live 2-3 years.

*2.5 gallons is the perfect size! The Minibow set-up already comes with a filter and gravel, just add a couple silk/live plants and a cave (small terra cotta pots work well)... and don't forget to buy Amquel + Novaqua from your local pet store to dechlor the water. Water should be changed every 7-10 days and waste should be syphoned out as often as possible.

*Bettas live for 2-4 years, generally much longer if you buy from a breeder

*You should get your Betta from me!


mehe, good luck.
