I have a Beta fish and the water is cloudy and stinky in just 2 days! I have done the partial water changes and sucked the bottom of the bowl with a syphone. I only feed my fish 4 specs of food 2 times a day. What can I do? Thanks Kory

    The only way to keep your fish bowl clean is to clean the water daily, or get your Betta a real tank with a heater and a filter. Keeping a Betta in a bowl with less than spotless maintenance can lead to ammonia poisoning and finrot.

    The best thing you can do is go out and get one of those small plastic tanks that come with an undergravel filter, something about 2 or 3 gallons. Betta’s need proper filtered tanks, preferably heated (since they are tropical fish) for long term health, and it will certainly solve your water quality problem.

    Just make the bowl a temporary home (I am sure that you knew as soon as you said bowl people were going to hound you to get a real aquarium!!) But you get a 2+ gallon tank and they now sell filters and heaters that will fi that tank perfictally her are some links for them (one that I prefer anyways!!): Thats the filter here is the heater: both are very inexpensive and you can find them at other stores too, plus your betta will be much hapier, and I think it would look a lot better and not mention cleaner!!! Hope I was of help to you!!!

    get him a tank that is at least 2.5 gallon with a heater and a filter, problem solved
    you need only to do 25% partial waterchange weekly, that’s it

    Hope that helps
    Good luck
