Your Betta Needs To Feel Comfortable

May 02, 2007 By: Timophy Category: Betta Care, Betta Health, Betta Tips

Bettas, like any fish, are aware that they are prey animals. In order to feel comfortable, they need to have lots of hiding places. As Bettas are from marshes and rice paddies, they feel more comfortable with ‘soft cover,’ generally provided in the aquarium environment from live or artificial plants. Like most tropical fish, they are more comfortable and will come out more and be more active if you can provide them with 50-75% cover – this means, make half to three fourths of your tank space hiding places. Providing sufficient cover will reduce stress and therefore improve your Betta’s immune system, reducing chance of disease
