I have a 10 gal tank that is cycled, so would a 50% water change once a week be good? If so, do I take the fish out before, or just take the amount of water out, and pour the new amount in?

For feeding, I have a few neons already in the tank that the betta will go in. They've never bothered the betta's before, but they are pigs and I'm worried that the new betta will have a hard time getting enough food. Also, will the new betta do well on tropical fish flakes, or does he need actual betta pellets?

I guess I'll just have to see how dominant the new guy. My last one would circle and stare at the food for a good while, and if a neon came up, he always backed off. Is there one food that I can feed that is okay for both the betta and the neons? I do have dried bloodworms for variety.

Okay, thanks!

With the last betta, since he wouldn't fight the neons for the food, I would sometimes give the neons a bloodworm to keep them occupied.
