Try http://www.geocities.com/dynarb/ Nice site for Bettas. I feed ours
daily, a couple granuals. What size is the tank? If it's a very small bowl,
with no filtration, I'd change about 25% every few days.
    I'd recommend getting a small tank with a filter. Bettas life expetancy
in those little bowls is quite short compared to what they're capable of.
