Only one male Betta can be kept in a tank, yet virtually anyone who owns a Betta would like to keep more of them. A small tank is the ultimate gift for a Betta fan. Cant afford a tank? Never fear -- Betta fans will appreciate anything from this wish list.
Forget the vase! Provide your Betta with the best home possible. The eclipse system three provides filtration, lighting, and plenty of room for any Betta. Pricier than bowls, but hands down the best way to go.
Attractive and stylish, the new mini-bow aquariums are a great way to show off a beautiful Betta. Available in several sizes, generally complete with a startup kit.
Bettas thrive in warm water. If your betta owner friend doesn't have a heater, consider purchasing a 25 or 50 watt heater to keep their betta comfortable and healthy. Your friend will be amazed at how active their fish becomes!
The natural diet of Bettas in the wild are insects and insect larvae. If the are not provided with a diet high in protein, they are more prone to disease and a shortened life-span. Bio-gold gives them the nutrients they need to keep them healthy and colorful.
No self-respecting Betta will turn down bloodworms. However, few owners have a constant supply of them. Give your friend a gift their fish will truly relish.
Is your friend a first time Betta owner? If so, they could use some reference material to help them understand the special needs of their Betta. This reference manual published by Bow Tie Press is a good resource for the new Betta owner.
Sooner or later every fish owner is faced with having to move his or her fish. Bettas are particularly sensitive to being damaged when netted, due to their long flowing fins. A soft mesh or brine shrimp net is a great choice as a gift.
