Question

t want to wait for the water to get warm and if you know, can you tell me where to buy a silk plant for my betta?please and thank you

Answer 1

well if it is for a betta then you should already have a heater in your tank and you can buy silk plants at your local pet store for about $3 but if you want to, which is better is you can go with live plants it is much better for the tank

Answer 2

just simply let the water sit out for 24 hours, this will adapt it to room temperature

also a bowl is not the right and adequate home for a betta to start with

a 2.5 gallon tank with heater and filter is the bare minimum

Answer 3

I have 10 aquariums set up and running and I don't have time to wait for the water to warm up (from cold tap water). I use the Python water changer that will syphon the water out of the tanks and then by adjusting the temp to tank temp, I will refill the tanks. As I am adding the water to the tanks, I will add the water conditioners. The fish are thriving and even breeding in this habit that i have of changing at least 25% of the water each week and some of them even more, it depends on the fish load in the tank.
