Thanks, as always, with a laugh!
Siamese Fighting Fish need their own space. You can only have one male to a tank. It is more natural to have two to four females with him. One will be under such constant attention that she will give up the will to live pretty quickly.
You can also mix these with some other fish - unwilling to name names as it is a language minefield out there!!!!!
This is a warm water species within fishkeeping as a whole BUT can be kept, without the stress of females, in cold water. (What sort of life is that? No girls and you use all the energy that you would of used to woo the girlies to keep warm?)
There is no need for an air stone, in fact they can find it very upsetting.
These fish are "bubble nesters". They make a safe area on the surface of the water by blowing bubbles into a clump and the eggs are kept safe by the male in the clump.
A small filter will need maturing for a few weeks before your fish is/are introduced.
A book is the best answer to your questions as terminology and common names make it very hard to give advice.
Good luck and bless you, so many people think fish are a simple matter of water and food.
