Do you all use the breather bags? And if so, do you leave a pocket of air in the bag or just fill it all the way with water?
Thanks

Bettas are Lyberinth (sp) breathers which means they gulp there air from the top of the water. For them it is more important to have more air then water in the bag. I use the breather bags. I usually put about 1/3-2/3 c water and then about twice that much air.

Also don't forget to double bag them and use insulated styrofoam sheets cut to the size of the top, bottom, and sides.
