I am over thinking - and there is alot of info - thank you for that you are an angel! That totally simplifies it and I feel better now xx

Hi Pam.
It looks like you're over thinking everything and a lot of info is being given you at once. I can't pm you yet so let me simplify it here for you.
1) Set up tank, heater, gravel, decorations.
2) Cycle the tank in one of the ways Alessa outlined in this post: http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/be...-betta-ok.html
3) Use a good water conditioner (dechlorinator) such as Stress Coat+ or prime
4) Feed according to the link I gave you.

5) Enjoy your new betta

Only 1 other thing, don't be fooled by a product called Cycle, it will not cycle the tank. The only product that will cycle your tank quickly is the one Alessa mentions in her cycling outline.

I hope that makes things easier for you.
