Hi there,

Please consider my revised additions/changes to your lists as I see some things that could be better/improved. - - - - - PLEASE FISHLESS CYCLE!!!!!- - - -- - http://injaf.org/articles-guides/beginners-guides/the-nitrogen-cycle-and-the-fishless-cycle-getting-your-aquarium-ready-for-fish/

DO NOT BUY that 5g TALL Marina brand tank (I had the smaller 3g version in the past and ended up ABSOLUTELY HATING it because of the built-in internal filter compartment that took space away from the betta + was a pain to maintenance + the flow was difficult to modify)...

I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING TANK KITS!!! (They're even cheaper than your other mentioned options and far better for the betta by providing it with much more HORIZONTAL SWIMMING SPACE:

https://www.petsmart.com/fish/starter-kits/top-fin-essentials-aquarium-starter-kit-5262256.html it's ON SALE NOW AT TIME OF MY COMMENT FOR JUST $24.

THE TOPFIN 10g KIT IS GREAT TOO! - FOR JUST $45.49 (Right now at time of comment) - https://www.petsmart.com/fish/starter-kits/top-fin-essentials-aquarium-starter-kit-5262353.html

  • FILTER options for the 5.5g/10g tank kit above:

  1. EITHER the included TopFin HoB filter from the tank kits above - modified via: https://i.imgur.com/QYNiVEV.mp4 - Ditch the carbon cartridge (once you get the stuff to mod the filter) and go for the following supplies: - https://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Clear-A1370A1-Aquaclear-20-Gallon/dp/B0006JLO5K/ - https://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Flo-Aquarium-Filter-Media-Thick/dp/B01J5MV86S/ - https://www.amazon.com/3IN1-BIO-SPONGE-Biochemical-Sponge-QUACLEAR/dp/B00VPL0V0W - The pre-filter intake sponge that you had in your list would be good for this HoB filter that's included in the 5.5g/10g TopFin Essentials kit.
  2. OR this SPONGE FILTER setup (my absolute favorite, HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND): - https://www.amazon.com/Powkoo-Double-Biochemical-Aquarium-Gallons/dp/B01M3VALFU/ - Petsmart: TopFin Quartz Bioballs (they are perfectly sized to fit into the two dual filter media chambers of the sponge filter I recommended above, plus come in a nice plastic canister for storage). - https://www.amazon.com/U-picks-Aquarium-Gallon-Quietest-Accessories/dp/B07RRNDMXJ/ <--The perfect mini and quiet airpump kit + all accessories to hook up to the sponge filter and run it (quiet airpump, check valve + airline tubing) - (If you have questions about setting this sponge filter stuff up, ask me once you have all the parts in hand. It's very easy.)
