The Pisces Aquatics desktop Betta tank is a fantastic home for your Betta. As a complete kit, this Tank comes with everything you need to set-up a healthy home for your new Siamese Betta fish. Light-weight materials ensure that this tank is light enough for most surfaces like desks, kitchen counters, bathrooms and more. Always ensure your chosen surface can support the weight of the fully filled tank.
Simply fill your Betta tank with fresh water and dose with the included Pisces Aquatics Complete water conditioner, as well as the Pisces Startup Establishing Bacteria. Allow the water to cycle through the filter until water quality is appropriate, then introduce your Betta fish.
Feed your Betta up to 3 times per day with the included Betta Pellets. Avoid over-feeding as this will result in fast water fouling, as well as potential health hazards for your fish.
The Pisces Aquatics Betta tank is also suitable for those wanting to simply establish a small Aquascape; Bettas love real live plants, and they are much safer for them than fake plant alternatives.
How do I ensure a clean tank?
Ensure a 20% water change is carried out weekly. This can be done using a small siphon or cup. Ensure that water being replaced in the tank has been pre-treated with Pisces Complete water treatment. Never use untreated water in your Betta tank, even if the rest of the tank has been conditioned.

Step 1: Prepare the necessary materials
Clean bucket or container large enough
Airline tubing
Air pump (optional but recommended)
Adjustable valve or knot (to regulate the flow of water) or get a abquatics drip kit
Clean, dechlorinated water (ideally matching the temperature and pH of your tank)
Step 2: Set up the drip acclimation system
Fill a clean bucket or container with the clean, dechlorinated water.
Attach one end of the airline tubing to an air pump (if using) and place the other end inside the bucket. Make sure it reaches the bottom of the container.
Step 3: Start the drip
Open the bag containing the aquatic animals and carefully pour the entire contents into the bucket, including the water from the transport bag.
Start a siphon by sucking on the free end of the airline tubing or use a siphon starter. This will initiate a slow drip of water into the bucket.
Step 4: Adjust the drip rate
Use an adjustable valve or tie a knot in the airline tubing to regulate the drip rate. Aim for approximately 2-4 drips per second.
The slow drip helps gradually mix the water in the bucket with the water from the transport bag, preventing any sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 5: Monitor the process
Keep an eye on the acclimation process and periodically test the water parameters in the bucket using a test kit. This helps ensure a smooth transition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the animals and the water parameters involved, the acclimation process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
Step 6: Adjust water volume if needed
If the water volume in the bucket becomes too high, you can remove some water and continue the drip acclimation process with fresh, dechlorinated water. Be cautious not to remove too much water, as it can lead to sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 7: Transfer the animals to the tank
Once the acclimation process is complete, gently net the aquatic animals from the bucket and transfer them to the tank. Avoid adding the water from the acclimation container to the tank to prevent any potential contamination.
Step 8: Dispose of the acclimation water
After transferring the animals, discard the acclimation water from the bucket. Do not pour it directly into any drains or natural bodies of water.
By following these steps, you can safely and gradually acclimate your shrimp, snails, and fish to their new tank environment after transport. Remember, it's important to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.
