Tank size- 2.5 or larger
Water Conditioner- Top fin plus
Meds- bettafix, coppersafe
Food- 1-2 times a week top fin freeze dried bloodworms, 2-3 top fin betta pellets twice a day
HEATER!!!-Hidor mini heater 2-5g
Substrate in a filtered tank- sand
Substrate in non-filtered tank- gravel or little glass stones
Live plants really add something to the tank, and keep the fish happy (bamboo is 1.99 at petco and really easy to care for) if you don't wanna worry about live plants, silk is best cuz it won't tear their fins
Tempurature- 76-78 degrees f
I prefer to keep my bettas in cycled tanks, but non-cycled will be just fine as long as you do water changes often. thats about all I can think of right now, feel free to ask if you have more questions!

Tank size: At least 1 gallon, 1 quart is acceptable for breeders, but I agree to the 2.5 gallon rule.

Water conditioner:Stress Coat

Meds: Gel-tek Ampicillin, betta fix, mehtylene blue, Jungle Ick Guard.

Tank Size: 10g but I have a divided too
Water Conditioner: Aquasafe
Food: Hikari Bio-gold and frozen brine shrimp
Meds: N/A
Substrate: None even though I use black gravel
Heater: Petco brand, cheap yet effective

I keep live plants in one and fake in the other, the live seem to turn my tank a light green/yellow color but look much better, my fake are easier to care for but dont have the "natural" look.

oh ya, aquarium salt is in ALL my tanks, always add it.

hmmmmm 1 quart is acceptable for breeders? why do they get an exeption? Then it should be acceptable for every one to keep their bettas in tanks a quart or smaller.... Their fish have feelings just as all of ours do, and breeders need to keep them in the same living conditions as all other people. I will only by a betta from a breeder if it has been well taken care of in a tank atleast 2.5g
