Everything betta, in one place

Bunstay covers the whole world of the betta fish through practical guides, keeping advice and articles devoted to the welfare of a fish that is as spectacular as it is demanding. You will find our recommendations for choosing and setting up a suitable aquarium, keeping the water healthy and stable, selecting the right food, understanding your betta's behaviour, and preventing the most common health problems.

We also cover the plants, filters, heaters, decor, foods and accessories worth buying to build an environment that is natural, balanced and good to look at. There are guides to the different betta varieties, their colours and their tail shapes, what each of them actually needs, and how to recognise a fish in genuinely good condition. Where a term is unfamiliar, it is defined in the glossary.

Our aim is straightforward: to help you get past the received wisdom and the unsuitable little tanks, and give every Betta splendens conditions that actually respect what it needs. We recommend the minimum conditions that keep a betta healthy, not the minimum that keeps it alive.

Whether you are meeting your first betta or you have kept fish for years, Bunstay is here to help you understand them better, choose better, and look after them better. Start with the complete betta care guide, or browse every guide on the site.
