Betta Fish Care Guide – Feeding, Water, Tank, Tips | Top Betta Farm
📚 Betta Fish Care Guide
Whether you're a first-time hobbyist or a seasoned seller, proper betta fish care ensures long life, vibrant colors, and peaceful behavior. At Top Betta Farm, we raise our fish in clean, healthy conditions—and we want to help you do the same.
🌡️ 1. Water Conditions
-
Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F) is ideal
-
pH Level: 6.5–7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral)
-
Water Type: Dechlorinated tap water is best. RO water is okay but must be remineralized.
-
Ammonia/Nitrite: Always 0 ppm
-
Water Change: 30–50% every 3–4 days in small tanks
Use a thermometer and liquid test kits for best accuracy. Avoid sudden temperature swings.

🐟 2. Tank Setup
-
Minimum Tank Size: 3–5 liters for solo display, 10–15 liters for permanent home
-
Filter: Gentle sponge filter or air stone preferred
-
Heater: Required in colder climates
-
Substrate: Optional – use soft gravel or bare-bottom
-
Plants: Live or silk plants offer hiding spots (avoid sharp plastic)
-
Lid: Always use a lid – bettas can jump!
---
🍽️ 3. Feeding Guide
-
Type: Betta pellets, freeze-dried bloodworms, daphnia, brine shrimp
-
Frequency: 1–2 times daily
-
Portion: Only what they eat in 2–3 minutes
-
Fasting: 1 day a week helps digestion
Avoid overfeeding – it causes bloating, ammonia spikes, and death. Variety improves health and color.

🛁 Rinse all decorations before use
-
🧼 Don’t use soap to clean tanks – only warm water
