How to set up a 2.5 gallon Betta fish tank. This video came about when I saw the tiny tanks on sale for Betta fish for the upcoming Finding Dory movie. Those tanks were way to small for a Betta to have any quality of life. This video shows two cheap and easy ways to set up a tank with everything a Betta fish needs. Both of the set ups are either the same price or cheaper than buying one of those smaller tanks. The sand should be 1.5- 2.5 inches deep. The plants are Anubias. We added Flourish root tabs to fertilize the plants. These plant do well in low light conditions. The heater is a Marina Betta heater. Bettas are tropical fish and a constant temperature of 78-80f degrees. The lighting is a LED desk lamp. We recommend all tanks should have a filtration system. A sponge filter is a good option for smaller tanks. You should always cycle your tank before adding a new fish. Once the cycling is complete 25-30% weekly water changes will help to keep the tank balanced. If you are not using a filter, you need to be able to commit to water changes every 3-4 days. Smaller tanks without filtration require a lot of work. *Bowls, vases or glass ornaments are not suitable homes for Bettas. If you are looking into getting a Betta fish as a pet the widely accepted minimum is a 2.5 gallon tank.
