Hey every one okay i've been looking
at some bettas on the internet and i saw some
that were big so im wondering if bettas grow

big like goldfish or have the same growing
system like the food the space
1 goldfish = 10gal ????


im not sure because im new when it coems to bettas
okay well

BYE

no a betta needs about 1/2 gallon to about 5 gallos i wodnt get anything bigger because it stresses them out. wut pic have u seen? bettas only get to max about 4 inches. could u post them?

I found this picture on
the message board there pretty big

Oh, that looks awfully familiar! You found my setup!
Thats actually a 10 gl tank. In the inserts you see at the bottom of the pictures, are the males (some make very nice bubble nests there), and in the rest of the tank are the females swimming freely. The insert holds up to 5 bettas, and currently I have 3 10gl tanks set up like that, with around 8 bettas in each tank.
I found that way of setup very practical. The males grow and look happier because they enjoy filtration, not a little container with no filter. They have the looks of a natural tank with plants and rocks, and the females develop eggs better since they are in constant companionship with males. Thats all run by a spongefilter in each tank, and weekly 15% water changes, with added salt in the water. Bettas like that....
Glad you enjoy it!

I was plaing to do this with a 10 gal i really like
the idea that they can see each other *the males and females*
if you have no problem with me doing this
since this was your idea i would like to do the same thing

It;s a very nice set up

So your male bettas not jump out?

I was wondering about the same thing lol?

Well, usually the females are the better escape artists, but in that case they dont get a chance. I bought those reptile covers for the 10 gl tank, its basically just a frame with some netting on top and costs around $8 a piece. No escaping in my house!
And yes, Black Oranda, feel free to do the same setup! I bought those compartments on Aquabid. You can find sellers there under the breeding section all the way to the right!

Thank you Rachugirl okay welll i think i saw
some things like that at wallmart not sure
im going to have a look around

Thanks alot i can't wait to get it set up !
