plants/ rocks/riverrocks,
don’t feed them outside roots, just feed them flakes and live/ frozen/freeze dried foods
“What are cool home items to add to the fish bowl?”
Anything that can be boiled to clean and will not trap fins or cut the fish. Marbles, Stones, Glass Beads, etc. Also things that will not leech anything harmful into the water (plastics not rated for fish, metals, etc)
“homemade decorations?”
Anything that fits the above criteria
“how to take care an alpha beta?”
has a wonderful section on Betta care from general care to breeding the buggers.
“can they eat outside plants roots?”
Nope…they eat insects in the wild and as such need proper Betta food to keep healthy.
fish love rocks…go to a stram and grab a rock that fits the size of your tank and wash it off realy good then put it in….if you want to get created you can make kools stuff…google it and see whats you can do… the cheeper the better….you can even go to walmart and find some cheep little decarations for your tank…….goodluck!!!
I think you mean betta fish (pronounce bet-tah but often mispronounced bait-ta).
First of you need to get him out of that bowl and into a 5+ gallon heated and filtered aquarium. BOWLS ARE CRUEL. Bettas are carnivores and dont eat plant roots. A good homemake decoration is a coconut cave. You can make this by scraping the meat of a halved coconut and boiling out the tannins. This will make a nice looking cave for your aquarium
terra cotta pots that have been hit with a hammer so its like a little clay house. then you can put a little sign tat says no tresspassing and it will be ART!!!
Don’t put something in your aquarium unless your 100% sure it is aquarium safe. Rocks and other things you find outside(or even inside) can contaminate your water and make your fish ill or die. Chances are, you’re not going to find much around the house that you can easily determine if it will go in your tank(in your case, bowl, but you SHOULD have a tank. 5g or larger with a filter is preferred.) without harm. If you can find a PVC pipe and cut it to be 3 to 4 inches that may go well in a 5g, and your Betta will enjoy it. Another little neat hiding space your Betta may take a liking to that is aquarium safe, but I have never personally used, is a Terra Cotta Pot. You can buy them cheaply. If you have one outside, make sure you clean it very well and PROPERLY/aquarium safe before placing it in your tank(not bowl).
If you do have money, though, and simply want to have fun little fish projects to do, there are many things you can find on the web for DIY projects. If you can buy some Silicone(100%) glue, get some, because that will be useful and it’s safe for aquariums. Just search “DIY aquarium decor” in google and you’re bound to find some neat things.
Like this, for example: However, you might NOT find things for bowls. If you really want to have a great fish experience, and for your Betta to have a great life, upgrade to a 5g tank.
Betta should be offered a variety of foods, but none include plant roots. Betta Pellets, Frozen Blood Worms, Live/Frozen Brine Shrimp and Frozen Peas are all good foods for your Betta. Be very careful not to over feed or leave extra food in the tank.
You should look up common Betta diseases so that you can learn how to prevent/help prevent the disease from occurring in the first place, and so you can be prepared, have the medications, and know what to do if an illness does find it’s way to your Betta.
A good place to do your research would be. It is a very informative resource and you’ll find all the information you need there to have a happy Betta. I suggest, however, that you look at several sources. Maybe you could buy a book or two as well?
