Use spring water from the store. Change half the water every few days. Do not overfeed. Don't use tap water. A betta can be kept in a small jar for a long while without ill effects. It's cruel but it may save him. Otherwise, don't clean the aquarium so much next time. You can rinse the gravel out some of loose particles, but don't rinse too much. Refill the tank with neutralized water. Use a chlorimines neutralizer before adding the water to the aquarium.

When cleaning use a gravel cleaner vacuum. Ask for one at the pet store. It is a siphon with a tube.

Make sure the aquarium gets lots of airation. That promotes the culture of good bacteria on the gravel.

Add a little salt.

It doesn't even matter if you have those things for your beta fish! I have one name Rainbow and that guy has never even seen it. Same with my sister's Jewel. All I give mine is a tank to swim in and some food and bloodworms and he is all set. You are fine don't even use them. I've had mine since February and it's still alive so trust me when I say I know what I'm talking about.

Do you not have a filter on his/her tank? What size is the tank?
