When preparing for your new aquarium, you need to not only determine what size tank you want, but how big of a space in your home you have to place it. You might like the 200 gallon reef tank that they have in the local fish store, but if you don't have the space (and probably the experience to maintain it), and then you should keep on looking.

Because betta fish can be kept in relatively simple containers as opposed to large aquariums with complicated filtration systems, many people are attracted to them as easy to care for, yet beautiful tropical fish. But betta fish care does require some frequent work to keep the fish happy and healthy.
