How to Take Care of a Betta It’s best to have your fish tank set up, conditioned, and running for a few days before you bring your betta fish home. The water conditioner removes chlorine, chloramines, heavy metals, and ammonia from the water. It’s critical for keeping your betta in good health. Whenever you change or add water, it should be treated.

Bettas, tropical fish are those that require heated water, generally in the range of  24-27°C. 

Feed your betta everyday. In terms of food, there’s dry food in flakes or pellets. Since they are small fish and eat so little, it can be hard to get the right amount of flakes. The pellets are a little easier to control since they only need a few every day.
Remove any uneaten food to avoid fouling your water.

Clean your betta tank, changing a portion (25-35%) of the water every 1-2 weeks. Set out the right amount 24 hours before, and treat it with conditioner. When you’re ready to add the new water, scoop out the same amount of old water before gently pouring the fresh in. Occasionally you’ll need to do a complete water change and clean the tank.
