Instructions
Collect some rocks and gravel and wash them thoroughly with soap and water.
Line the bottom of the jar with the clean rocks.
Fill the jar with water and let the water age for 24 hours. Add 10 drops of water conditioner to remove the chlorine from the water.
Place the betta bulb plant in the water.
Add one male betta fish. Two fish will fight with each other and the female fish are not as attractive.
Cover the jar with a lid with holes for air to prevent the betta fish from jumping out of the jar.
Place the jar in an area away from drafts or direct sunlight and maintain a temperature between 65 and 75 degrees.
Feed the betta fish every day.
Clean the jar every week by removing the fish and all water and scrubbing the inside of the bowl and the rocks with a mild soap.
