Betta (Happy Healthy Pet)

All the basic information you will need, a must buy in my opinion. Includes useful tips as well. Nice photos too.

Good book and I am pleased that the author does not condone the keeping of Betta fish in a tiny tank or jar. People need educating on how to keep Betta fish for your enjoyment and their best healthy life. First priority must be for the fishes welfare.

Actually I bought this book after having a betta for a few months. I wish I had thought to buy it beforehand, because it does offer a lot of basic, good tips. I had already gleaned a lot of info from the internet, but this book does touch on a few things that helped me (different types of filters I never knew about, different heating systems, and what to expect if breeding). The main problem I was having was my fish getting constipated frequently, so I was happy to see the advice about slightly soaking the flake food before feeding; I never knew to do this. So I would recommend this book highly, because it's written in a simple to read format, that is accessible to all ages.

great book for the beginner or advanced Betta pet care

My wife has a betta, and he got sick. I was brand new to the care of any kind of fish, so I found myself looking all over the web for information. There are some really good sites, but I wanted to have a handy A-Z reference. I got this book, and it helped a lot. It gave me the basics to understand what bettas need in general, and then what to do when things go wrong. It also has interesting info on the origin of bettas in the wild, etc. While not encyclopedic, it covers most of what you'll need.

I checked out this book originally from the Library then purchased it. I did so because I feel that if more people understood this particular fish they would stop using it so inhumanely as an ornament! My betta has a routine and enjoys my company, his meal times, his play times, his green peas as treat time and his 8 gal biorb filtered tank! Putting these wonderful creatures in a vase, jar or any small container is horrible. I enjoy the peaceful feeling I get just watching him, all in return for providing quality care for this fish. As a business owner with a high stress life he provides me with cheap therapy. Reading about betta care may spread the word so I purchased the book to educate others. The book provides solid information about betta care.

I researched a lot to find a good and complete book to educate myself about my Betta fish. I have a royal blue crown tail Betta fish and love it so much. In this book not only you can find very useful info about taking care of your Betta but also it increases your general knowledge as a fish keeper. I got this book for 1.99 brand new and paid 3.99 for shipment. I'm very happy with that and if you want a good book to start it's highly recommended.
