im not the jedi i should be
im guessing your "friends" are 13 year old boys who still havent hit puberty yet and/or they have very low self esteem. people that are not satisfied with themselves often abuse animals because it gives them a sense of power. (people abuse starts with animal abuse too. see if you can help your friends before they start abusing people too) animal abuse and people abuse check out these statistics too. they are rather shocking. thank goodness you are around to take in what they have tried to destroy.
bettas dont require much maintenance. you should put them in at least a 1 gal container and use some sort of dechlorinator since there is probably chlorine in yuor tap water. stresscoat is an all around good product. it dechlorinates and adds back the lost slime coating. but im sure you already have something like this (novaqua or biocoat). if you have any melafix, that would be good to add too.
im assuming you feed yuor puffer frozen food so you can probably use that for the bettas too. if not, betta pellets arent that expensive.
giving them away is also an option so your friends wont be able to get to them again. if you do that, make sure the person knows how to properly care for them.
