Awesome colors! I'm not super familiar with betas. I'm a saltwater keeper myself. Small tanks are definitely difficult. Any fluctuation in parameters has a bigger impact. The black gravel and background really makes the colors of the fish pop

Thank you Trinityblood! Bettas are super easy. They live in puddles/pools of water in the wild so water quality doesn't have to be perfect for them. However, if you know me, I am going to keep his tank pretty clean. Easy to do a 1G water change weekly vs. a bigger tank. Many people do not think they like heat or filtration, but they do if you want them to flourish and show their best colors. His temp is 77F and he has a gentle filter on the tank.

I used to breed Frontosa's - a brackish water fish from Africa. They get about a foot long. Had 12 in a 240G. Unfortunately, health got the better of me and doing those 2-3 hour water changes weekly was too much.

Saltwater is a lot more demanding and much more sensitive to change than most freshwater aquariums. I'd love to see pics of some of your aquariums. Do you have a thread here?

What a great idea. Bettas are so beautiful! Just the right amount of "company" for an office.

Thank you Boger. Yeah, he's a perfect companion. Plus the gentle water flow sound is soothing and relaxing.

He’s gorgeous ...

I saw some brightly coloured fish ( similar to that ) in a Florida lake last year .. would they have been Betta fish ??

Thank you Zincubus. Betta's are pretty tiny and I think they are from Asia. Doubt you would have seen them in FL. However, if you can find Iguanas and Burmese Pythons in FL, who knows .
