How often do I clean my Betta bowl with Mangrove seedlings?


With mangrove seedlings in your Betta fish bowls, we recommend the water be changed once a month, replacing it with purchased spring water. The mangroves will clean the water themselves for the most part, absorbing waste from the fish while releasing oxygen into the water.

How do I actually clean my Betta fish bowl containing Mangrove seedlings?


To clean your Betta bowl, pull the seedlings straight up and out of the anchoring material (gravel etc.) one at a time, avoid hitting your Betta fish. Net your fish and place it in a container with at least 3" of spring water. Wash the Betta bowl and contents with hot water and vinegar. Avoid using soap to clean your bowl as it can leave a residue that can be harmful to your Betta. Rinse and dry everything thoroughly. Arrange the seedlings in the bowl and replace the anchoring material around the propagules to hold them upright. Add spring water and gently pour your Betta fish back into the bowl, leaving a little space between the water and opening. Avoid using tap water for your Betta.
