How often do you change the water in a 2.5 gallon tank? I realize the more the better on the one hand, but on the other hand by betta is severely stressed out by them. Thanks.

Somewhere else on the internet someone suggested "New Life Spectrum Small Fish Formula" for my problem. I was wondering if any of you have used this and have a review, if it's good for bettas? Thanks.

I've always read that too much bloodworm = constipation, but I don't know for sure.

How long did your oldest betta live? Any tips or tricks for happy geriatric bettas?

Hi, I'm new to the forum, though I've had my betta Wendy for about two years. (She's nothing special in breeding or color, but she's got a hell of a personality.) I've taken her on long (8 hours) car rides before and she's been fine; I keep her in a large open nalgene bottle, half full, so...
