supplies needed for betta

[alabaster]

Hello all

What supplies do you need to get a betta? Im about to get my first one and I want to make sure it has a good home. I already have natural pea gravel (large grade) to use as a substrate, but besides that, have nothing. Please tell me what you guys use and approximately what each piece costs in US dollars. Thanks for the advice!

Tank 3 (not set up yet but this is what will be used)-

My wife used to get jealous cause I used to spend more time with my fish and on TFF then I did with her. Oops. )
Anyway, alabaster, when you start keeping bettas, the price will really depend on what size tank you get. You can easily spend anywhere between $30-$80 when setting up a new tank depending on size, how many decorations/plants you get, substrate, filter, heater, etc...
