[Jose Myth]

The little cup my betts is in(and still is) has quite a lot of poop in it. so should i just pour out all of the water out of its cup or like just use it for the aquarium. Plz give me step by step process on how to introduce it to the aquarium.

Buy a 5 gallon tank minimum, set up the filter and deco and cycle the tank. add an adjustable heater but dont turn it on.

Get your betta, put the cup in a plastic bag so you can float it in the tank without haveing the bag tip over, float for 20-30 minutes.
Add some tank water to a baggie, Gently dump the betta and cup water into a bag it should be about 50 50. new tank water and cup water.
Float 30-45 more minutes.
gently pour him into the tank. with all those fins, he could get stuck to the bag, you may want to add even more water to the bag before pouring, or cut the bag open so that he just falls out.
add stress cot to the tank
turn the heater on its lowest setting, dont raise it more than 2-3 degrees every 3-4 days. keep raising the temp until it is 78-82 degrees in the tank. Good Luck!

FYI, it is best to avoid useing a net with long finned fish, If you have to use a net, find a softer net or one for shrimp that doesnt have all those tiny holes in it. they are usually white. and always add stress coat product afterwords.

The lousy store gave it to you in a cup? It should be in a bag, now they made it harder for you.

Dump the betta from the cup and into a small baggie.

Float the baggie in the tank for 10 minutes.

Take the fish out of the bag and place in the tank.

Discard water in bag


You do not need to worry about cycling a bettas tank or make the process any more complicated.

float the cup for 15 m after that put some water from your tank to cup and after 5 minutes let it swim and add more water but make sure its same tempretures
