Subject: Bettas

i recently bought a pair of bettas male/female im having trouble with dirty water. i want to breed them, but by the time the male builds the nest the water needs to be changed. Filters are not good for bettas b/c i have heard that they can deystroy the nest and the bettas are keen to filters. so how cna i do this. i tried ot use a pump to get rid of the excrement but that is really horrible and it dont work really well. any advice?

Nothingness:My sister seems to have good luck using bottled water with her betta, doesn't seem like she has to change it as often, Don't know if that is of any use or not :)

Subject: Re: Bettas

Nothingness: what kind (size) of tank/bowl are they in? Bettas actually live in mud puddles in asia (i think Asia) and so they can take not having the water changed that much.My sister in law once left hers go for so long (I don't recommend this,lol) that you could not see in the bowl!!! God Bless the little guy cuz he was fine and dandy! You might check with the pet store too,they can help.
