betta water levels?

[WickedQueen]

I have a 2.5g mini bow and I'm thinking of putting a betta in it. I have a mini heater (hydor mini 7/5 w heater) What are the ideal water levels to keep a betta though?

Thanks!

water levels like parimaters?

You can put your betta in that 2.5 I have minin one as well and I use this heater..Visi-Therm® Deluxe Aquarium Heaters
$13.99 petsmart

you can use a fikter too if you like I have a deco art mini filter...

yes meaning parameters
I have a tetra micro filter in the bow.
The mini bow was a little 'sit' someone gave me and I dont know what else I could do withit other than put in a betta lol

um I don't know about parameters I just set it up and put in a Betta Bowl buddy tab to declorinate the water and waited about 20 minutes and put my betta in. All is well.
With the filter I don't have to clean it as much and the heater is at a nice 80 degrees.

Here is my flipper in his tank,

bettas are adaptable; pretty unparticular about water parameters like pH, hardness, etc. i have some bettas in peat-enriched conditions, and others in straight dechlorinated 7.8 tapwater.

their natural habitat contains soft, acidic water, which is definitely preferred if possible.

other than that... just make sure to keep up with water changes, because if it's let go too long, they get very susceptible to fin rot.
