Betta fish can change water once every 3-4 days or 1-2 weeks, depending on whether there is a filtration system in the fish tank. If there is a filter system in the fish tank, change the water once every 1-2 weeks. If there is no filter system in the fish tank, it needs to be changed frequently and the water should be changed every 3-4 days. When changing water for betta fish, first take out a part of tap water to dry for 2-3 days, then adjust the water quality of the new water so that it is not much different from the raw water, and finally replace a quarter of the water in the fish tank.
