My main tank at the moment, housing my newest Betta, "Quinn", is a 3.5 gallon TopFin. I prefer Grreat Choice (yes, that is how it is spelled) and TopFin, as they are generally good quality for a low(ish) price. It has no heater, as he is swimming comfortably. He does however, have a filter. I personally say that you should always attempt to have one of the above; a filter, a heater, or an air pump.
Heaters are good to imitate the climate they would naturally live in, a filter helps keep the water clean and flowing, and an air pump is useful if you have a cover on your tank to keep the air fresh. I generally go for a filter or air pump because Bettas are surface dwellers, they spend a good amount of time close to surface level, and having some motion at a higher level can be very beneficial to their health.
My last point to share is about Petco. Petco is notorious for abusing their animals. One of the worst cases, is feeder animals, namely mice and fish. Live fish are kept in crowded tanks for feeding to turtles. I would attempt to find a different choice of pet store. PetSmart is not the best, especially when it comes to the supplier of their animals, but they are, in a large scale, better. I personally will shop at PetSmart, and local shops out of convenience, and am also someone who goes in looking for hurt or sick fish, the less glamorous and less wanted. If you go online, there are many stores that sell only fish supplies that sell online. I go there for many of my supplies, while I do however, buy fish in store.
Thank you for reading, and I appreciate any and all response!

I only have him in a 2.5 gallon for now which he is actually doing really well in and seems happy. He made a bubble nest and swims in the silk plants I got him.
Anyway, two questions:
1. Can I cycle the water for a 2.5 gallon tank or should I just do a full water change weekly? I really want this fish to live a long time, he is really cool.
Also, I have conditioner and quick start in there both by API.
2. He seems perfectly fine in the 2.5 gallon, he's really curious and healthy looking.
It more so seems to bother me because the tank just looks small to me. What is your advice?
Each of my bettas favorite treats where the same tho. They all LOVED freeze dried blood worms for bettas, and I recommend feeding them at least once a week(Not as their daily meal)!!!
Btw Becca Seguin, if you could, do you mind checking out my tank to give some advice or tips?
As I'm rather new to Betta keeping and would love to have more concrete feedbacks on the tank itself. Sorry if it sound like blatant advertising but you could just check out 4:15 to 4:45 to skip on my boring speeches and etc.

I have a dumbo betta named Mauve, who I got around 5 months ago, and is still living. He is in a 2.7 gallon tank. I don't have a heater, but I live in a tropical climate place (UAE, that is). In his tank he has a fake driftwood with some leaves on it (they are not sharp, even though they're fake) along with another plant. I also made a leaf hammock for him to rest on. His substrate is small pebbles. Ever since I removed some decor (which were making his fin rot worse [He had fin rot ever since I got him, and his fins are regrowing]), there has been some space in the tank. Maybe I could get a small cave or something for him, but I haven't confirmed yet. He doesn't have a hiding place, so he usually rests under the shade of the plant or on the leaves of the driftwood. What should I do? What do you think I can get him to furnish his tank? :0
I'm not saying that I disagree with you, im saying that a nomal filter is better.
I always clean their tank every day
Also I would like to see all your bettas
Moonlight
And again she miss spoke
If the temperature is not between 78 and 82 degrees fahrenheit than you need to correct that and that should solve the problem, if your fish's behavior has changed or if they look different, than you are looking at possible diseases. Do you test your water? If the PH is off or the ammonia is up than that needs to be corrected and that should fix the problem. The other thing you described could be one of three things, First: fin rot, this is a bacterial disease that can be caused by poor water conditions, tail biting, or injury, if it is fin rot, evaluate the cleanliness of your tank (not just physical cleanliness but water chemistry too) and the two things I am about to talk about. Fin rot should be treated with aquarium salt(Important: never treat with aquarium salt for more than ten days or you risk serious organ damage) or antibiotics depending on severity (if it's just the tips of the fins use aquarium salt, if it's farther along, treat with erythromycin.) Second: normal torn fin, if you have sharp objects in your tank, like plastic plants, or sharp rocks, than those need to be removed immediately, you can let the fin heal on it's own or use seachem stress guard, which I have found to be an excellent slime coat type product, the third, final and most unlikely possibility, tail biting is usually caused by stress, but can be triggered by other factors, a tail bite will always be a U shaped piece missing from your betta's tail, try to catch your betta in the act before assuming this, if you do determine that it is tail biting, it could be that water parameters are off or that the tank is too small, or doesn't have any decorations, evaluate your tank, if this clears it up for you, great, glad I could help, if not, please fill this out:

You should make a video on guppy care! And breeding guppies!!!!!!!!!!!!
also, betta's don't require oxygen from the water, they have a labyrinth organ which means they get a lot of oxygen from the air.
A little note: Like plants in general, moss balls suck up CO2 and release oxygen in the water. So if you don’t like noisy air stones, some Marimo moss balls are a great addition to help oxygenate your tank.
