Joshlikesfish Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 How often do you plan on doing water changes? How warm will the water stay in the room you're keeping the fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisP Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 A jar, in direct sunlight will get FAR to hot for a betta. As the heat rises, there is less oxygen in the water. The temperature will change a lot each day and with each WC. Not only that, but they barely have enough room. I would not do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilobite Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Because they are tropical fish they need warm water. If you lived in Tailand you could keep them without heaters or if you had a room that stayed at a constant warm temp but if not, then NZ is a cold place for a fighter to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephikins Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I have mine in separate containers from Plastic box and just have lots of containers in one big tank. This way I only need one heater but i do water changes in their containers ever 2-3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 A jar, in direct sunlight will get FAR to hot for a betta. As the heat rises, there is less oxygen in the water. . Betta breath from the surface anyway :lol: A large jar will be fine provided the temperature is constant (25 deg ideal) without too much fluctuation and water quality is premium (daily waterchange or at least every second day).
