Real or silk plants are good I tend to use silk just cause I somehow manage to kill all my plants.

What kind of food does your brother use? The easiest food to feed are pellets. Hikari makes excellent pellets (and bloodworms too!) Frozen bloodworms are another favorite around here. Don't bother with flakes though. Not one of my bettas will eat that stuff.

All I really use is water conditioner and aquarium salt. If your PH is really out of wack, go ahead and use the PH balancer. But if it's pretty close to 7, there's no need. I don't like using extra chemicals when I don't need to.
