Do fighting fish need heating sticks and what kind of water environment do they like

Betta fish need heating rods. Although betta fish is not very strict with temperature, it still has certain requirements. The most suitable temperature for betta fish growth is 24-27 ℃. If the water temperature is lower than this range, it needs to be heated with a heating rod. Betta fish are tropical fish in nature. Although they are more cold-resistant than ordinary tropical fish, if the water temperature is very low, it will also affect their growth. Therefore, when the weather is cold, it is recommended to heat it with a heating rod.

1. Do betta fish need a heating rod

The suitable water temperature for betta fish is 24-27 ℃, so when the temperature does not reach this range, it is still necessary to heat the rod to raise the temperature. Under normal circumstances, betta fish can survive at very low temperatures, but betta fish will grow very slowly at low temperatures.

If it is the seedling stage, the low temperature may lead to the growth problems of betta fish, so the betta fish in this stage must adjust the temperature to the appropriate range by heating the rod, otherwise it may lead to the death of the seedling betta fish. If it is an adult betta fish, it will not die at low temperature, but it is also unfavorable to their survival. In addition, raising the temperature with a heating rod can also reduce some harmful substances in water.

2. What kind of water environment do betta fish like

The temperature at which betta fish can live normally is 20-30 ℃, and often it can survive below 20 ℃, but it is not conducive to their growth and development. The water for raising betta fish must be free from any pollution. If tap water is used, it must be exploded before use, because tap water contains some toxic substances such as chlorine, which may lead to betta fish poisoning if used directly.

Besides the water temperature, betta fish also requires the pH value of water, which is usually between 6.5 and 7.2. When changing water, we should pay attention not to make great changes in the water environment.
