Betta Fish and Traveling

I plan on going to my cottage for a few weeks. I would like to take my betta with me. It is about a 2 hour drive. The drive wont stress out my fish and kill him will it?

 

Well moving a betta for only a 2 hour drive aient to hard. Just make sure you have a good container that has oxygen going in it since bettas are labrynith fish. They breath the same air as us. Fish are always transported long distances such as from florida to here and somehow they survive. Even a well cleaned out coffe cup, with a big whole in the lid, filled with condtioned water, in ur cup holder would do fine to keep the betta in for 2 hours.

 

what size tank is it cuase you might be able just to carry it just take out a little water so it doesn't spill

 

Its a 1/2 gallon. I wanted to just keep him in there for the drive.

 

that all sounds fine, u could carry the 1/2 gallon but not completely full of water.

But in the future you would realy wana look into getting a bigger tank.

A betta should have a 5 gallon of its on at least. The only reason they survive in 1/2 gallons is the fact they are labryinths.

(Shouldnt put anything else with a betta since they are so aggressive, but in some cases a male betta will get along with other fish)
