Our Aquatic Greenhouse is a complete, almost maintenance-free ecosystem. These small mini aquariums are very affordable! These dwellings only require the correct diet, clean water, and light.
Bettas make good bowl fish because they can handle temperature fluctuations and have the physiological capability to breathe air. In addition to gills, bettas also have an organ called a labyrinth, which allows them to also breath "our" air". They are quite simple to care for, but they are living things and must not be neglected. They must have clean water on a regular basis and be feed at least a few times per week or they will starve. Alot of people think bettas will feed off of the roots of the plants, but this is not true! They need fat and protein! They get this from a wonderful product from Hikari called Betta Bio-Gold, which we include with each setup. This amount of food should last a minimum of 3 months. Replacement food is available for 2.99
The plant provides oxygen for the fish and the plant also absorbs the fishes waste while the snail cleans the algae from the tank. The betta should live at least one to three years, we have had some live longer. A replacement betta can be purchased from local pet store for as little as 2.99 to 3.99 on sale at some pet stores. Our bettas cost 3.99 each for males, 4.99 for females.
Other small species of fish such as fancy guppies, white clouds and danios can also be used. They are also able to tolerate temperature fluctuations.
If the tank has too many fish, or the animals are too large for the aquarium their health will likely suffer. Water quality is also very important. If you have poor water quality, the fish aren't going to be living as long as they should and their colors won't be as good.
Educate yourself about bettas! There is so much information available on the internet. Bettas are living things. Please take care of your betta and give them loving attention. They know when you neglect them. A great spot for your betta is in your kitchen or in your office! These are places where your betta will enjoy watching you and you can give them the attention they deserve. All of our Aquatic Greenhouse come with a small sheet of instructions on the care of your tank
