in a tank!

I have a blue betta fighting fish! And so far he has lived with me for 1 full week! Wish me luck all...I don't have the best record with fish...lol. If anyone has any advice, please share. I did some research on the net. But, personal advice never hurts!

Me Too!! I just love my little blue betta. I got the first one as a crossing gift(he lived for 3 months, he died because i waited to long to change his water). The second one has lived for a month so far. The only advice I know to be true is: First, use only distilled water, most resources say use spring water, but one of my friends make Betta gardens on the side and she said everytime she tried to use Spring water the betta died. Second, I don't feed him often, about 2-3 days apart. Third, change the water once a month. Do not use detergent to clean the bowl or marbles. Just rinse with distilled water. These are just some suggestions that have worked for me.
