Captivity from an Aquarists view

Betta anabantoides can be housed in pairs, species tanks
and community tanks. Pairs should be housed in a minimum of 20 gallon
however a 30 gallon is preferable. Pairs should have cover such as
caves and plants. In a species or pair tank fry could be discovered in
the tanks. For best results remove brooding males or all other fish. |

chemistry as long as the water is well filtered and clean. Should be
kept in mid 70s F. |
