It covers:
* Setting up an interesting aquarium
* Plants for the Betta tank
* Choosing non-aggressive tankmates
* Maintaining a healthy tank and healthy fish
* Feeding your Betta
* Breeding your Betta
Keeping a Betta is the perfect introduction to keeping tropical fish, a relaxing, rewarding hobby everyone can enjoy.

 Betta: Your Happy Healthy Pet January 9, 2007

We "adopted" our very first Betta fish, Ray, last July. We just love him but weren't sure if we were taking care of him properly. This book was wonderful and so very helpful. It is easy to understand and separated so that your questions can be answered quickly. A must for all parents of Bettas!

I bought this book at a PetCo that was going out of business, this was after having owned my own fish. I had a Betta before, and had done a lot of research online, so I thought I knew what I was doing. When I started reading this book in the store I realized that this was a lot more complete and thorough than the hundreds of articles I read online. This books gives consistent advice, and covers such a large range of information. The advice Tullock gives is logical and great. I definitely recommend this book for all, especially for such a decent price!

I checked out this book originally from the Library then purchased it. I did so because I feel that if more people understood this particular fish they would stop using it so inhumanely as an ornament! My betta has a routine and enjoys my company, his meal times, his play times, his green peas as treat time and his 8 gal biorb filtered tank! Putting these wonderful creatures in a vase, jar or any small container is horrible. I enjoy the peaceful feeling I get just watching him, all in return for providing quality care for this fish. As a business owner with a high stress life he provides me with cheap therapy. Reading about betta care may spread the word so I purchased the book to educate others. The book provides solid information about betta care.

I bought this book for my daugther as she received a betta for Christmas. She is 12 and enjoys reading it. It is easy to follow, has a lot of pictures and in sum, it has helped her become more involved in the care of her pet. She references to it often and is building her ability to observe and gauge her pet behavior!
