This is my first fish and I thought I’d get advice, I talked to a lady who deals with the fish at PetSmart and she told me my tank was suitable for one betta only, and then I got a filter, added water conditioner and waited 2 days before buying the fish itself, and then I recently added a water heater, not sure if it’s actually warming the water as the temp feels the same. Had it in for about 3 hours now. But yeah lemme know if this is a good home for my new friend 🙂

I would suggest live plants as the plastic ones could damage your bettas fins! A future upgrade in the tank size could be nice for the fish too!
I suggest a hammock leaf and a small “house” he can hide in.
Read the r/bettafish wiki
Your tank isn’t cycled, you need to test for ammonia and nitrite every day and do water changes when they aren’t zero. Keep doing that for a couple weeks or until they consistently stay zero.
