Bettas are colorful fish with flowing fins and fun personalities. They are so intelligent that they recognize the people who care for them. Some bettas can even do tricks!
Bettas often bond closely to their owners. A betta's favorite past time is often laying on a hammock of leaves from a live plant or decoration but they'll quickly swim right up if they think food is on the way!
Contrary to popular belief, bettas need a heated and filtered tank of at least 3 gallons, although they will be even happier in larger tanks. A 10 gallon tank is easier to maintain and a happier home for your betta! Bettas love the space of large tanks to explore and interact with their environments.
