Use spring water from the store. Change half the water every few days. Do not overfeed. Don't use tap water. A betta can be kept in a small jar for a long while without ill effects. It's cruel but it may save him. Otherwise, don't clean the aquarium so much next time. You can rinse the gravel out some of loose particles, but don't rinse too much. Refill the tank with neutralized water. Use a chlorimines neutralizer before adding the water to the aquarium.
When cleaning use a gravel cleaner vacuum. Ask for one at the pet store. It is a siphon with a tube.
Make sure the aquarium gets lots of airation. That promotes the culture of good bacteria on the gravel.
Add a little salt.

Do you not have a filter on his/her tank? What size is the tank?
The nitrogen cycle that creates the bacteria colonies needs to exist in any sized tank, but obviously with small tanks it's just easier to do a daily water change.

You should be fine as long as you didn't scrub out his tank. Leaving the new water out in a container overnight will allow the chlorine to evaporate.

you have to be o.k.. they're going to be a touch flatter, yet no longer too undesirable. Baking powder is an acid and an alkaline, so that you receives some gas from that. yet you probable extra yet another acidic element in the beverages, that may react with the soda to get you extra raise. yet your cupcakes will finally end up in simple terms high quality. a touch extra dense, yet nevertheless tasty.

It doesn't even matter if you have those things for your beta fish! I have one name Rainbow and that guy has never even seen it. Same with my sister's Jewel. All I give mine is a tank to swim in and some food and bloodworms and he is all set. You are fine don't even use them. I've had mine since February and it's still alive so trust me when I say I know what I'm talking about.

I think you are talking about the chemical that removes chlorine and chloramine. Not using it one time will not hurt, chlorine affects the gills and makes oxygen obsorbtion harder. Not using this chemical long term can end up killing a fish (consider it like smoking very heavy, one day wont kill you but doing it long term will).
