Betta Fish Tank Setup:

Aquarium Filtration for Betta Fish

Betta fish are naturally found in still or slow moving waters. Due to their large fins, they can be pushed around in strong currents. We recommend gentle water flow and filtration. Sponge filters, under gravel filters, and hang on filters are great options if keeping in smaller aquariums.

Aquarium Heaters for Betta Fish

We use a heater mat for the smaller tanks and bowls. Or for larger aquariums you will need an aquarium heater and a thermometer to monitor temperature. They prefer warm tropical waters and generally require a heater in the winter months in most areas of Australia.
