Note: for many years
we sold this kit with two Aquatic Snails,
but under
current Federal Law it is not legal
to ship snails across state borders
without a special federal permit for
each state. The cost of the permits
is so high that it precludes shipping
snails. So we do cannot ship snails
at this time, and we do not include
them in this kit, but we still recommend
snails, and encourage you to find them
in your local fish stores. |

Recommended Diet
BettaMin™ Floating Flake Food and Tetra™ Freeze
Dried Blood Worms both made by Tetra™ and available
in most stores that sell pet fish. We also feed
the fish in our fish bowls a few live Black Worms
three days a week and occasionally some live or
frozen brine shrimp. A little bit of live food is
very good, but too much seems to cause problems.
Click
here for more about feeding fish. I feed
all the inhabitants of my fish bowls a few Black
Worms every other day. Click
here for more about Black Worms.

Compatibility
You can add an
African Dwarf Frog, but it will need to eat
live food such as live Black Worms at least three
times a week. Click

of compatible fish.

Why Does This Fish
Bowl Kit Work?
|
|
|
|
Several
visitors to this site have sent us comments, saying
that they were worried that one Betta are too many
animals in one bowl. We appreciate their concern
for these animals, and it might seem like too many
animals. But the crucial test is to actually try
it, and we have tried it many many times. It works.
Why?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
● |
1.5 gallons is 6 quarts and that's a pretty
big fish bowl. We might put one Betta in a half
gallon bowl but 1.5 gallons is much better.
|
| |
● |
Notice we recommend putting the bowl in a cool
part of your home where the water is 65 to 75
degrees F. not 78 to 80. The lower temperature
allows more oxygen in the water and less fish
waste because the animals' metabolism is slower.
|
| |
● |
The cultured gravel provides a lot of surface
area that is covered with the essential nitrifying
bacteria that turn fish waste into harmless
residue. |
| |
● |
We recommend that you change 20% of the water
at least twice a week and replace it with bottled
drinking water. Click
here for more about changing water in fish
bowls. |
| |
● |
We recommend that you feed floating pellet food
that's labeled for Betta Fish plus freeze dried
blood worms, because these foods float and leave
less residue after being digested than most
foods. |
| |
● |
We strongly recommend you check your fish bowl
10 minutes after each feeding. If there is any
uneaten food, remove it with a small net. Click
here for more about feeding your fish.
|
| |
● |
These animals are adults and have low metabolic
rates. Why is that important? Because they'll
metabolize less food, so they'll eat less food,
so they'll produce less waste, the water will
stay clean, and they'll remain healthy.
|
| |
● |
We know that one small goldfish will not
do well in a fish bowl, so we don't recommend putting
goldfish in bowls. It took us a long time to find
the unique combination of this large bowl with the
right amount of cultured gravel, food, and animals
that fit together and do very well together.
|
| |
● |
This
isn't just a "first thing I thought of" combination
that might work. It's the pieces of a puzzle that
finally fitted together to produce a combination
that does work. Click

Cautionary Comments
A couple of good folks have sent comments saying
that they took this plan for this kit, then went
out and "bought all the parts and put it together,
but it doesn't seem to be working." We checked and
found out they had gravel but not cultured gravel,
or they couldn't find any Aquatic Snails.
The
cultured gravel and the Aquatic Snails are essential,
and this combination doesn't work well without them.
We'll be glad to ship you the cultured gravel and
the Aquatic Snails, or the entire kit, and anything
else you need. But please for sake of the animals
do the entire plan, or it may not work.

Size
and Lifespan
Most of these animals can live for 2 to 3 years
in this fish bowl.

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
