DESIGN:
The Betta Magic Polycone is a clear,
acrylic 6.75" high "cone", that measures 5.25"
at its base tapering up to 3.25" where a clear, removable cap
features large feed-through holes. This special cap offers total
safety and
security as it keeps either Betta from jumping in or out and removes
easily for the times when you wish to feed brine shrimp. Additionally,
the Betta Magic is designed to allowfresh water to flow through
and out freely, keeping the water
inside the Betta Magic just as fresh as the outside water.
SET UP: Provide a large, clean, clear glass container of
your choosing (see "Containers"). Wash you new Betta Magic
(be careful to do so gently to avoid scratches) and the gravel which
you intend to use. Place about an inch of gravel in the bottom of
your container and fill with approximately 6" of water. Remove
the cap of the Betta Magic and place it directly in the center
of the container, pressing firmly down into the gravel and then
add one Betta inside.
Replace the cap and fill additional water until the water level
just reaches very close to the top of the cap making certain that
your Betta can have free access to the surface of the water. If
your cap is below the water line, remove some water immediately!
Now you can add your second Betta to the open water area of the
container. You also might now want to add some plant material to
float freely around the bowl and don't forget to add a small piece
inside the Betta Magic. If you know anything about Bettas,
you'll know that they just love to nap on floating plants.
Now watch them discover each other. This is absolute MAGIC!
