Do betta fish think?
It might be commonly thought that fish are not intelligent and don’t have emotions, but anyone who has owned a betta knows this isn’t true. These fish are smart enough to recognize their owners and respond to your presence.

Can you have more than one Betta in a tank?
However, you should only have one male or female betta in a tank without dividers and be prepared to remove the betta if they show signs of aggression towards other fish. Bettas gulp air from the surface of their tank.
Do you have toys for your betta fish?
Toys are a fantastic way to keep your betta from getting bored. While having decorations in the tank that give him something to swim around or through is a great start, toys are really the best way to keep your betta active and alert. So yes, they do need toys!
What happens to a betta fish’s fins in old age?
Like hair losing its lushness in old age, old betta fins may become frayed or twisted over time. If it’s not illness or old age, it may be the pH, as harder water tends to make the ends on fins curl.

How often should I Change my betta fish’s water?
Vacuum the gravel and perform regular water changes. If you suck up the debris and perform a partial water change every other week, your betta’s home will stay much cleaner. Test your water. It is impossible to know what’s going on in your tank without testing but fortunately this is easy to do at home. I use the API Freshwater Master Test Kit.
