Key Features:

• Capacity: 3.4 liters (0.9 gallons), ideal for Betta fish and other small aquatic species.

• Ease of Maintenance: Includes easy-access openings for feeding and water changes.
• Includes Essentials: Comes with a breathable lid to ensure your Betta's safety and a built-in LED light to showcase your aquatic friend and the tank's design.

Water Conditions:

• Temperature: Maintain water between 24°C and 28°C (75°F and 82°F) for Betta fish.
• pH Level: A slightly acidic to neutral pH of 6.5 to 7.5 is optimal.
• Filtration: While this kit does not include a built-in filter, a small sponge filter or regular water changes (20%-30% weekly) are recommended to maintain water quality.
• Dechlorination: Always use a water conditioner to remove harmful chlorine and chloramine from tap water before adding it to the tank.

Tank Mates:
While Betta fish are territorial and best suited for solo living in smaller tanks like the Marina Cubus:

• If introducing tank mates, ensure they are non-aggressive and small, such as snails (e.g., Nerite or Mystery Snails) or shrimp (e.g., Amano or Cherry Shrimp).
• Avoid fin-nipping species or other Betta fish to prevent stress and potential conflicts.

Feeding Habits:

• Diet: Feed high-quality Betta pellets or flakes as a staple. Supplement occasionally with freeze-dried or frozen treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp.
• Frequency: Feed your Betta 1-2 times daily, offering only as much food as it can consume within 2-3 minutes to prevent overfeeding and water contamination.
• Feeding Tips: Ensure food floats on the water's surface since Bettas are surface feeders.

Care and Maintenance Tips:

1. Weekly Water Changes: Replace 20%-30% of the tank water to maintain cleanliness and prevent ammonia buildup.
2. Cleaning the Tank: Gently clean the inside of the tank walls with a sponge or algae scraper to remove any buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals.
3. Lighting: Use the LED light for 8-12 hours daily to mimic natural light cycles, promoting your Betta’s health and tank visibility.
4. Monitoring: Regularly check water temperature and pH levels with appropriate equipment to ensure they remain within ideal ranges.

The Marina Cubus Betta Kit 3.4L is more than just an aquarium—it's a decorative statement that provides a cozy, safe, and stimulating environment for your Betta fish.
