1. Water temperature: The betta is a tropical fish that likes to grow in relatively warm water. When maintaining, it is recommended to control the water temperature between 25-28 C, which is the most suitable water temperature for its growth. Don't let the water temperature be too low, if it is below 20 degrees Celsius, its growth rate will slow down.
2. PH: Fighting fish prefer neutral water, and can also adapt to slightly acidic or slightly alkaline water. But if the water in which it is raised is too acidic or alkaline, it will cause growth problems. When cultivating, it is better to control the PH value of water between 6.5 and 7.2.
It is OK to raise fighting fish with tap water. However, you can't use the tap water directly. Because when it first came out, the water temperature of tap water was very low and contained chlorine, which was harmful to the growth of fighting fish. You can take the tap water out 3-5 days before changing the water and put it in a warm place to dry. In this way, when the water is changed, the chlorine in the water will volatilize and the water temperature will rise.
If conditions permit, it is best to change the water for the betta every 5-7 days. When changing water, pay attention not to change all, generally change one third of the water can be. This can avoid excessive changes in water temperature and damage to the betta. In addition, if there is no filtration system in the fish tank for betta, it is necessary to increase the frequency of water change, and change it every 2-3 days. This can ensure water quality.
