Kevin will kill his mate, so no no friends for Kevin!

Yes you will need chemicles to take teh cholrine out of his wate. My Betta, Bella, is in a 10 gallon tank and I would recomend this as any betta's home, bella just LOVES hers! Yes Betta's, like any other type of fish, need filters, Bella does not have an air pump on her tank however. Stones on the bottom of the tank are a good idea, I think they keep the good bacteria in. bella does not have a plant in her tank and she is fine. The plants that they sell in the pet store will acctually cut a betta's tail. bella does not have a heater but I keep her temperture about 78 degrees F. I change bella's water normally when it looks dirty or the water is getting low.
