What is the perfect tank for betta fish?
Picking Your Betta’s Tank: Size Matters! But, that’s not you, you want to own a happy and healthy betta – you want it to thrive. Your chosen tank should be no-less than 5 gallon – the BIGGER the better. And 5 gallon tanks are the lowest volume of water needed to easily establish the Nitrogen Cycle.
Is BiOrb good for betta?
Other reviewers mention that the air flow is too strong for Bettas, which is true, but if you pinch the airflow just enough you still have enough airflow so the BiOrb can do it’s job, but doesn’t force your Betta to swim against the current. The BioOrb does an amazing job keeping the tank clean and fresh.
Do bettas need a big tank?
Bettas need an aquarium with a filter that is at least three gallons. Set up their new home at least one day before they arrive. The minimum size of the aquarium will depend on how many fish you have. For just a betta, the tank should be a minimum of 3 gallons.
Do bettas need a bubbler?

Are Biorb’s any good?
Biorb aquariums are great, however, they do have limitations like any fish tank. If you want an extravagant aquarium setup with dozens of fish, the biorb probably isn’t right for you. Don’t try to put too many fish in your biorb, fish need space, a rough rule of fish keeping is one inch of fish per gallon of water.
Do betta need a heater?
Heat & lights Bettas are tropical fish and need to swim in warm water between 74 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Choose an aquarium heater with 5 watts of power for each gallon of water in the aquarium. A large aquarium may need a heater at either end. Wait 15 minutes after filling the tank before turning on the heater.
Are LED lights OK for betta fish?

Are BiOrbs noisy?
In addition, the Biorb pump supplied is totally inadequate for the task (which is possibly why Biorbs get such bad press) and is extremely noisy (like other reviewers, I found its constant hum very loud and annoying).
