| I was planning on a sponge filter. I am not turned off by water changes once a week. I am mostly just deciding if I should do live plants IF I get a betta. |

| I also got a bubbler which he went absolutely ballistic about every time I turned it off. If it wasn't on, he was so mad lol |

| I would've done live plants but my betta kept attacking and breaking them every chance he got. So I did silk. And then resorted to a sponge filter because the water flow was too much for him lol |

| I do keep a HOB (hang on back) filter in my betta tank, as well as a sponge filter. However, I have a metric shit-ton of live plants that break up the water flow. And my betta seems to defy all the rules and actually likes hanging out near the outflow of the filter *glares lightly at Nalo* he also made friends with two female guppy fry I tossed in for him to snack on, so now he has friends, which I never figured would happen. |

| I have a 135 gallon tropical tank, a 40 gallon guppy tank that I (regretfully) neglect, and a 20 gallon tank. The 20 gallon is my betta tank and requires the absolute most work to keep it clean. The smaller the tanks, the more difficult they are to maintain, in my opinion! |

| Bettas are also tropical, so they require a heater. And they're very sensitive to filters with any kind of water flow, and require sponge filters instead therefore |

| I had a betta as a starter fish. With any fish, it's important to remember aquariums are a heck ton of work |

| Beneficial bacteria can be hit or miss I’ve heard but I personally have had good results with it. If you can steal some established filter media from someone that boosts it too |

| If you add beneficial bacteria which you can get at pet stores it can make it faster :) |
