How to Maintain Fighter Fish Tank Healthy!


It is quite simple and doubtful for people to be an Betta Splendens or Fighter Fish enthusiast. But i found keeping an betta is simply joyous thing! Obviously its because of its beauty at the first hand, but talking more i can say a Fighter Fish is quite interesting and talkative fish.



So being an Betta Keeper or as an Pet Lover, you'll be so happy to see your fish happy!
P.S : The Siamese Fighting Fish will show their happiness by making bubble nest! Also when they're ready for breeding :)

To keep you fish happy, you must keep the tank healthy, and the obiviously healthy tank should have the following things:

1. Good Water Quality
2. Proper Housing, i.e appropriate tank


I must say the first reason will only come by the second reason, so first of you need to have an best size tank, usually 3-5 gallon is prefferable. Once you have got it then, you should improve its water quality, eventually water quality can be easily maintained by a stable nitrogen cycle.

The "nitrogen cycle" is a naturally occurring process that happens in an aquarium where beneficial bacteria reproduce and grow and consume dangerous ammonia as it is being produced. Tank cycling is something that few fish keepers know about when the first buy their fish (unfortunately most fish stores don't educate their patrons) but eventually learn about the process once their fish begin to get sick. Cycling a fish tank will also help you combat future ammonia problems, will create a safer healthier environment for your fish and will save you time and money by reducing the frequency of water changes.

An happy and healthy fish can live much longer!
