In this article, my own research, I discovered the basic advice to keep your fish Beta as long as you can. It is important that each owner fish Beta read and recognize those needs. The advice in this article are critical Betta your life. And they all play an important role in increasing their lifetime.

Believe me, when you first get your Betta, you'll be everywhere do your own research on all aspects Beta fish life. Make sure you follow this advice because they are useful.

1. Betta fish must always be maintained only if the tank size is small, if it is cluttered and your fish Beta become claustrophobic. No matter what, man Beta fish must always be kept in various fish tanks. Male fish Beta battle for territory and May sometimes lead to death if the tank is too small.

2. Make sure that your fish are in a relaxed environment. Do not let water be too high because it can stress their small fins. Their fins are very sensitive because of their size.

3. Like humans Beta needs a certain type of entertainment in their lives (so they do not depressed), you must provide them with silk plants to hide behind. They also enjoy some beautiful ornaments especially those sparkling (those they enjoy very much). Ornaments help Betta so that when they are alone, they are not so bored.

4. Beta come from places like China, Thailand and Vietnam which means they had a good dose of darkness. So you want to make sure you allow your fish a good dose of darkness and too much sun can cause stress to your Beta which is not good for their lifetime.

5. A major factor for improving your fish life is the right to maintain the water temperature (78 degrees is perfect). I advise you to get a filter and thermometer and check frequently. It is very important because Betta lived in ponds and streams, it would be difficult on them to spend the temperature so keep right.

6. While this may sound silly and simple believe me when I say that, but there have been accidents at the Betta jumps of the tank. So remember to keep your tank covered. Try to leave some air supply so they do not die because they also use oxygen (duh). You can do this by punching holes in or leaving a crack at the summit.

Now this is not a direct effect but there have been some incidents on the type of water you fill up your aquarium. Some people reported having their fish are dying because they were able to fill their tanks with tap water. Thus, after some of my own research, I discovered that instead of using tap water that can be healthier and more (for a better life) if you use real water source or any other filtered water and a couple of Aquari-Sol drops.

Betta fish are very good fish and can have a lifespan of up to 2-3 years. There are a lot of information on the Internet (Google) and with the proper research, you can become an expert Betta.
