Taking care of a betta

Not only betta but any animal, regarding its scale, origin, and nature, is also not an easy task. Animals can not speak, nor can they express their feeling, so humans should have the tendency to look into the matter.

On the other hand, Bettas are almost easy to take care of. They require less space compared with other fish, but they also need a lot of attention. Betta has a labyrinth organ, allowing these fish to inhale the gulp of air from the bottom of the water's surface.

By doing this, they can survive in areas with so little oxygen level.

Freshwater

Because they can not maintain their body temperature so quickly and can not cope with the salt water to preserve their life span.

Flow of water

The flow of water should be steady and so slow. Fast-moving water can quickly kill them in a matter of sensitivity. Beautiful betta fish are exposed to such things. So it is advised to keep the water current as low as possible.

Pet stores

Pet stores need to do the same thing. They reside bettas in a much smaller place with a high flow of water and no routine for their food, making them uncomfortable, stressed, and unhappy all the time.
