About BettaBasics

Last updated: October 2026

BettaBasics exists for one reason: new betta owners deserve clear, honest answers.

When you first set up a betta tank, the advice online is overwhelming and often contradicts itself. Some sources say a bowl is fine; others say you need a 10-gallon tank. No wonder beginners get confused.

We cut through that noise with simple, step-by-step guides written for real beginners. Every page focuses on one question and gives you a clear, actionable answer — no jargon, no fluff.
