Packed with information!,

This review is from: Aquarium Care of Bettas (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) (Hardcover)
An indispensable resource for recent and veteran betta fanciers, this text does not burden the reader with esoteric details concerning betta genetics and pigmentation, nor is excessive attention paid to the diversity of wild bettas which amateur hobbyists will never see. (Much of this detail is covered in _The Betta Handbook_ by Goldstein.) _Aquarium Care of Bettas_ discusses how to give your betta a good life, simple things like providing him more room to move and breathe in or adding salt to the water or changing the water often, all of which can make a huge difference in quality of life. The text is lively and accessible, with plenty of full-color pictures demonstrating types of Betta splendens. Consultation of this book can be the beginning of an inquiry into whether to provide heat and filtration to a betta tank; research online reveals that so many small heaters can cook the fish. I have consulted my copy several times already and will continue to do so.

This review is from: Aquarium Care of Bettas (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) (Hardcover)
I bought this book and have read it cover to cover. I thought I knew how to maintain a tank and feeding for a betta until I read this book. It uncovers all the myths that surround betta care even in the pet shops!!!
Excellent for anyone thinking of buying a Betta! They need more than just a bowl to survive. Bettas also need a mini heater, mini filter, and at least a 1 gallon tank per Betta!!!
