He’ll have a great life now, that tank looks perfect for him.
Most bettas only live about 3-4 years, so please don’t feel bad if he doesn’t live too long even in your care. However, he’ll be a lot happier now <3
The only suggestions I have would be something up high to rest on. The suction cup fake leaves or some tall plants.
That tank looks like a massive upgrade from what you describe. Congrats on setting up an amazing retirement home for an old guy. I hope he has a wonderful rest of his life. (Betta’s rarely live longer than 4 years so if he was at the office for 3, figure 3-6 months in transit to the store, if he passes in 6 months it’s not your fault and you have done an amazing job)
I found a b@d@ss looking bed/hammock for bettas. Type “betta bed” in the Amazon.
