Default How to change betta water, my way

Just to prevent more betta deaths due to incorrect changing betta water method.

A better way to change water is to pour out the water while the fish is inside. fish may be stressed ubt at least it will not get contaminated with fishwater from other fishes.

just take tank in one hand and pour water out, if swim head same direction as water flow and flowing out, on the tap slightly and the pressure of water will cause betta to head in the other direction. so when little water left, on tap again to dilute the waste water and pour out again. like that water is clean inside. Then pour in yr aged water.

all my betta are trained in this way from one month old so they know how to behave during water change. and i dun think i got any betta with torn fins or broken fins because of water change

with experience and some of the poor fellow falling into the basin you can suceed. i only once pour one down the drain when the lid was not there. heart pain.

sounds cruel and troublesome and cumbersome, but hey my hands remain dry after changin 50 or more tanks. and they dun share any container which can spread disease.

net is not good.

method is optimised thru changing water over a thousand times for few hundred bettas.
