I suspect the original poster wasn't completely joking --- a filterless tank will need water changes frequently. If I were going to do it, I'd shoot for daily changes. Lots of people do fewer if they keep only a single male betta, and they do ok, but I've rarely seen them do well. I've seen plenty of them dying from terrible dropsy and bacterial infections. On the other hand, in a small enough tank those water changes can be accomplished with a gallon water jug, a small bucket (or second jug) and a turkey baster, in about five minutes. That's how I maintained my original "I'm just going to get one fish, honey, honest" betta tank. -- Eric Schreiber www.ericschreiber.com |
