Beta Vase
From the time I first saw this in a friends house I knew I had to have one as well. Apparently it's the latest craze - Feng Shui for the kitchen - War and Peace. The war is the Siamese Fighting Fish (male Betta) and the Peace is the Peace Lily. My friend has had hers for months with no ill effects. When you think about it, they’re perfect for each other because the fish lives in the roots of the plant and reduces the algae in the water although the fish do need to eat - very little. in nature the Betta lives in shallow rice paddies and swamps. However those waters represent a complete ecological system, which cannot be replicated in a small vase The setup consists of a large vase with some marbles in the bottom, a peace lily plant, and a betta. Quite often buyers of a Betta in a Vase have been mistakenly told that the betta can live by eating the lily roots but the betta should be fed. Betta like warm temperatures.
Tetra's BettaMin Floating Flake Food and Delecta Freeze Dried Blood Worms are both available in most pet stores. Bettas are not an active fish, so they don't require as much oxygen or as much food as more active fish do. Be careful not to feed your Bettas more than they can eat. Remove uneaten food with a small net after 10 minutes. The marriage of these two elements creates a lovely arrangement that has caused a stir in plant lovers felt nationwide. A houseplant whose exposed roots live in clear water in a clear vase, along with a breathtakingly beautiful, lone, way cool fish. The Betta will nibble the roots, but cannot live from them alone. The plant tolerates roots in water, but is not normally most prolific there. Very simply: Keep it clean, don't add fertilizer, but do feed the fish. Should you decide to build one with us, remember to:
- Provide regular fish food.
- Place the vase out of direct sunlight.
- Don't add another fish.
- Change out half of the water at least once a week
- Use only chlorine-free water, and always at room temperature. Distilled water is good, but tap water that has been allowed to sit for 24 hours should be suitable. To begin construction, I used:
- a Peace Plant
- glass marbles
- a clear glass vase
- a clear plastic cup
- scissors
- chlorine-free water at room temperature
- a Betta (Siamese fighting) fish


I bought the vase and got it ready on day one allowing the water to sit at room temperature.
Carefully place the marbles in the bottom of the vase
Unpot the Peace Lily and wash all the soil from the roots. This is an important but time consuming step. Trim the roots so that they are half as long as the vase.
Cut a hole in the cup so that the roots can fit through without the plant falling into the vase. The water level should be just below where the stems and roots meet.
On day 2 I brought my fish home. Take the plant out temporarily. The fish arrived in a sealed plastic bag which I allowed to float in the vase for a while so he became acclimated to the temperature. After 20 minutes I opened the bag and welcomed him to his new home - replacing the plant back into the vase.
