Hi V Welcome to the forum!!!! Congrats on your new betta! Caught you by surprise,did it?First of all V,your betta needs at least a 1 gal. container/tank( or bigger.-If you can go bigger-even betta!

You will need a water conditioner-something that takes out Chlorine/chloramines etc. You can feed betta numerous brands of betta bites--Not sure what brands in your part of the country. A betta's tummy is only the size of his eye so you want to feed sparingly.You can also feed him frozen bloodworms- my bettas love those! He will need only 3-to 4 betta bites no matter how much he begs! Your betta will also need to have weekly water changes-sometimes more often,depending on size of container/tank- When you do the water changes,make sure to use the water conditioner,and have the new water as close to the temps that he's allready in. Speaking of temps,bettas kind of like warmer temps. I guess a safe area would be between 75-79 degrees.They may be able to go slighty lower in 70's ,but I find that my bettas become alot more active when it's warmer. Bettas also appreciate a little plant to rest upon(which is normal for them. Just make sure that the things that you use for his tank should be "Betta safe" so they won't tear up his fins. Well V,that will get you started for now,if you think of anything else-don't hesitate to ask!!! Good luck and keep us posted on how the little guy is doing. Do you know what kind you have? What are his color's?
