Tank setup: Plants and hiding spots help reduce stress
Diet: Betta pellets, plus occasional treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp
Important Tips

Avoid very small bowls—bettas need space and warm water

Aquarium Usage & Measurement Guide:
When using a bird cuttlefish bone in your aquarium, correct portioning is important to avoid over-hardening the water.
Recommended guideline:
Use approximately 1–2cm of cuttlefish bone per 20–30 litres of water
For larger tanks, scale proportionally (e.g. 4–5cm for a 100L tank)
Break into smaller pieces rather than adding the whole bone
How to measure & use:
Cut or snap the required length from the bone
Rinse thoroughly before use
Either:
Place directly in the tank, or
Clip it to the side using the included holder
Monitor your water hardness (KH/GH) and livestock behaviour
Pro Tip:Start with a smaller piece and increase gradually if needed—especially in shrimp or sensitive setups.
