[AquaticLife] Lenny.. question about betta’s


Lenny, AM thinking about getting a Betta, Do they if put in a decent size tank 1.5 something to sit on my desk need airation/ filter? if they truly don’t what other fish, maybe 2 can breathe air? and what types of substrate do they need? Can I use ocean rocks in the tank? bottom feeder? I was thinking about a freshwater crab. should I also have a vacuum?
Also, if i wanted to add a female, good or bad idea?
thanks bunches!!!
