Betta Fish: Bowls vs Tanks | Non Biased FACTS

I was requested to talk about my opinion on bowls vs tanks quite a while ago. I took that idea and switched it around to list the pros and cons that may arrise with each housing option. My goal with this video was to provide a single source of most common concerns someone may have when wanting to get a betta. I WILL NOT ever look down on someone who keeps their betta in a 1 gallon bowl. I have done it myself in the past and have no right to criticize others. Judging someone profusely for their pet care choices that do not mirror your own often yeilds negative results. Others leaving negative and/or rude comments on my older videos did not persuade me to upgrade my tanks, it was my thorough research, desire to give my bettas a luxury home, and urge to buy the really large, fancy ornaments in the pet store that simply didn't did fit in my bowls. I made the personal choice to upgrade my tanks based off facts that I learned. This said, harrassing someone's social medias with comments stating "FISH ABUSE!!1!!" is NOT effective. While it has not happened to me in large numbers, I see it on other's videos in the betta community. Educate. Do not Hate. Fish Abuse is: -Keeping your betta in the store cup permanently. -Not feeding your betta. Ever. -Severe daily overfeeding. -Sport fighting (Like dog fighting, but with male bettas) -Never cleaning the tank. Ever. -Pulling a Darla from Finding Nemo and shaking the bag. -Leaving him out of water. Fish Abuse is NOT: A heated, 1 gallon bowl with regular water changes, silk or live plants, constant 0 ammonia, and a active little betta fish. From my past experience with bowls, I can say: Two bettas became more active in their new, larger tanks. Two bettas either stayed the same or became slightly less active. I see tanks vs bowls as apartment vs a 3 storey mansion. Is an apartment an abusive and toxic environment? Of course not. It may be smaller, and you can't do triple back handsprings in your kitchen, but it is a happy, healthy home if you maintain it. Yes, a 3 storey mansion would be fun and luxurious, but it is NOT required to live. Everyone would enjoy more space as the grass is always greener on the other side. Even for a fish - the water is clearer in the other tank. New Video Every Thursday.

BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 7 years ago
Yes it is, however just be sure that your fish like it, which unfortunately you won't know until you buy any air stone product. I've had fish that literally loved to swim in the bubbles, and other fish who couldn't stand the current they made and refused to go near it or had trouble swimming. But, long story short, it is safe and ok to use them :)

You can keep a Betta in a large 2 gallon bowl and you can make a small sponge filter by your own if you are a DIY type of person I've seen healthy Bettas in a half a gallon bowl
Ethan Twiggs
Ethan Twiggs - 7 years ago
Listen I had my betta in a heavily planted 5 gallon for about a month he didn’t seem happy he didn’t really swim around much or even eat properly I moved him to a 3 gallon bowl and he has acted so much better he swims to the top when he know it’s feeding time he goes in his hide he acts better then he did in the tank and he’s much more active overall I do water changes every 3 days and he never shows signs of stress so my opinion on the tank vs bowl argument is it depends on the fish but in my case bowls work fine for my betta
Faris Ahmad
Faris Ahmad - 7 years ago
Ethan Twiggs you can keep Bettas in bowls too I've seen healthy ones in a small bowl
But to prevent these guys from complaining you can DIY a small sponge filter for your bowl too no one can complain then

The bad part about recommending bowls is that people might be told that a bowl is alright as long as you provide a heater and clean it regularly/do water changes. But a lot of people will set up a 1 gallon bowl with dechlorinated water, gravel, decorations, and then put fishy in. They feed him every day and never clean it and after a month, fishy dies and they don't know what they did wrong. They fed him every day right? Smh
Faris Ahmad
Faris Ahmad - 7 years ago

Even if you care for the pet you can still keep it in a bowl with a tiny sponge filter if you can DIY it then with regular water changes your Betta would be perfect

Also you can read the previous comment where his Betta did better in a 3 gallon rather than 5 gallon tank

That's honestly an amazing price for a 30 Gallon Tank. Where I live a 1 gallon is $14 with tax, or a fancy 'modern' half gallon :/ However, if you can find a large tank with a price tag like that, that's always the way to go! Minimum tank sizes seems to very a LOT in the fish community, almost no one agrees on the same things!

I don't know what-all there is for commerce in Canada, but I do know that the chain-style pet stores... Petsmart, Petco and Pet Supplies Plus... will have "$1/gal." tank sales fairly often, so money can be saved that way--if you already have the other necessary supplies needed for setup.

On the other hand, many superstores--Walmart and Meijers--will sell a complete tank-kit that includes filter and lighting, requiring only decor items to be purchased separately... And all that can be had at a great bargain, if you shop-around and your timing is right. After all... getting something like 25-lbs. of quality gravel of a specific color desired, for under $20.00, while some places would charge you $6/5-lbs... and getting, say, a full 20-gal tank kit w/accessories marked $89-100.00 at 20%-off... that's a good-part of what makes this hobby rewarding.

I keep my betta in the same 3 gallon tetra tank you have. He's so completely happy with it, he's darts around the tank exploring, and he loves building HUGE bubble nests - I hate that on Fridays I have to clean his tank and destroy his bubble nest. This weeks was covering 3/4 of the top of the water!

I don't know if you'll answer but my betta was in a 3 gallon. I had a 10 gallon lying around after my hamster passed away. I washed it firmly and decorated it and set it up. My betta is now in the 10 gallon. He's not moving but I heard that's normal till they get used to the water. Is it okay if my betta is in a 10 gallon?

There is a bias in fish tank opinions? Also there is no such thing as non Biased facts as there is no such thing in biased facts. Facts are true by definition regardless of opinion and can therefore never be biased if they are indeed facts.
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 7 years ago
+Void Cometh There is actually quite a big bias of fish tank opinions. There are two sides: those that think bowls are abusive, and those who think they're perfect. Unfortunately, most people can't agree to disagree on the matter, and are actually quite rude to people who think differently. I usually prefer to stay out of it, but I was requested to give my opinion on the matter quite a few times so decided to make this video on it! By non biased facts, I guess I should be more clear- I wasn't suggesting the FACTS were non biased (as what you said it true). I was trying to say that I would be non biased (give no personal opinion) and just states the pros and cons of each betta habitat. Sorry to confuse you! Hope this clears things up :)

Shouldn't cost have nothing to do with this
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 7 years ago
It does in some aspects, but not all. I've found where I live that you can get a 3 gallon tank for the price of a 1 gallon somewhere else, so you should make your money go further. Also, 2.5 gallon tanks are the universal 'minimum', so you should spend whatever it costs to get that, but if you can't afford a 10, 20, gallon tank, then get what fits in the price range of the person, that is still safe for the betta. Lastly, if you cannot afford to spend more that $5 on an unheated, unfiltered 1.4 betta 'tank', then maybe a betta isn't for you. So cost plays a part in that way, but it shouldn't be like, "I can only spend "$" so I'll just keep him in a cup" sort of thing.
Robert Kowalke
Robert Kowalke - 7 years ago
Honestly a well planted filtered tank is best for Betta's. While they can be temporarily housed in a bowl of small tank, 3 gallons is the absolute minimum I would ever keep a male and since most females love to dart about 5 is the minimum for them. My honest experienced opinion.

LFS's hate me for always knockin on their little cup theories, but that's fine by me....rather them hate me and learn something to help the fish.
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 7 years ago
I'd probably have to agree with you that that is the optimal setup for a betta. What I aimed for in the video was not to say what the optimal set up was. It was non biased, which means that I just wanted to state key points of all different setups, so someone can make a decision of what is good for the betta, but also themselves. Nice to see you try to educate the pet stores, it's a shame how misinformed some of the employees can be.

Ok so I have a Betta called spirit and he is in a 1 gallon tank. I don't have much space in my house (it's a 2 story house) and he has a filtered,heated and a plant and decoration piece. I take him out with a net when I'm cleaning his tank. I do 50% water changes a month and 25% a week with a gravel cleaner. Is this harming him by any chance?

It sounds like you have a nice setup! Some people may argue that 2.5 gallon tank, but you seem to have a good system with your 1 gallon. I'm impressed you have a filter in your 1 gallon too.

Can i use saran wrap for my betta fillter?
BetterBetta
BetterBetta - 8 years ago
I agree with Finch toss, there are quite a few other alternatives to lower the flow of the filter that I can guarantee will work. I'm not sure if saran wrap is safe in an aquarium, but the water bottle method, using a sponge, and even pantyhose/nylons have been used before with success :) The technical term for this is "baffling" the filter, which there are plenty of helpful videos on YouTube on how to baffle a filter. I'm sure there are forum posts as well that you could find with picture tutorials.

Hey! I just wanted to share my opinion on tank vs bowl. I think a ten gallon tank is the easiest, best and most beautiful option and here's why

1. Healthy environment to swim and thrive
2. Looks stunning; especially when it's live planted and has natural decorations
3. teaches children responsibility and helps them learn how to properly take care of a pet

I decided to make a list of what I think the perfect beta home is like. I use most of these things for my fish but a few of the things I use are no longer produced or there are less expensive options that work just as well.

The tank: Great choice 10 gallon glass tank- petsmart: price-$ 15

The heater: aqueon 50W heater
-petsmart: price - $ 30

The filter: the aqueon quiet flow power filter 10- petsmart: price- $ 15

The hood:aqua culture LED aquarium hood - Walmart: price - $20

The total: $80

This is the price of everything except plants, gravel/sand and caves and such as well as food water conditioner and a gravel vacuum. I would budget about $50 for those things even though I would probably only spend 30 of that. (All prices are approximate and in USD) these fish are not disposable pets or cheap pets either. Please never buy any pet on impulse or just because you think that they are pretty.

Thank you for reading my whole comment as I know it's a long one!
Chimmey Chime

Walmart has a 10g kit with everything except the heater for 30 bucks. And you can find heaters for 10 bucks too there. If you can't Amazon has them, theyre just a Chinese brand. And you can buy substrate at the dollar store or just use rocks from the ground .

Thanks for your comment! It always seems that the bigger you go with your tank, the more money you save in the long run. :) I definitely agree that buying a pet because it's pretty but not having the means to care for it (tank money, water/electrical bill, food, time for changes, etc etc) then you have to leave the fish on the shelf. Too many people buy 3 or more bettas when they still have non heated tanks - of any size. I still believe minimum tank size is subjective (within reason) but that a heater is a must. While I certainly could never get all those things for a ten gallon for that price here in Canada (Quick math puts it at $125) but I agree that the larger tanks are gorgeous and have a ton of potential- and of course teach the responsibility. It's a beginner pet, but that doesn't mean it's easy! :) Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I hope others see your comment as well.
