PH?
Ammonia?
Nitrate
Nitrite
Alkalinity
Hardness?

PH? 7.2-7.8
Ammonia? <.25ppm
Nitrate <20ppm
Nitrite <5 (when your tank is cycled it usually shows zero)
Alkalinity 7.2-7.8
Hardness? 5 – 20 DH

Where did you get this information? Ideal PH range is 6.5-7.5, no nitrites no ammonia. They often live in blackwater environment so the water is ideally soft.

its from personal experience and its ok to have some ammonia ust not a lot and when you first cycle your tank which is what I think this person is doing you will have a few nitrite readings

Ok I always cycled my aquarium without fish and would recommend doing the same because it has zero risk and bettas are prone to fin rot...

that is true but I think OP is asking when the parameters are good to add a betta fish

Ideal does not exist in the world, even in their native environment the water parameters swing and are out of the humanly perceived ideal range.
Lets turn around with this question...what are your water parameters? Parameters alone do not make an environment ideal.
