Plants to hide in are great. If the tank is “tall” or high, put in a shelf then put in a fish house near the surface. Beta like to hide, but they need oxygen so the closer to the surface the better. Keep reflective surfaces away as beta feel threatened by other beta and may mistake their own image as an intruder.

How many times should I be cleaning the tank and how much water should I change eat time?
25% weekly water change
Should I put a air stone in the tank?

Anything else to make the betta happy?

EDIT: an airstone is a good idea BETTAS MOSTLY BREATH THROUGH THERE GILLS!!!! and only use there surface breathing in low oxygen areas

What they really want is a heater and a filter. Try not to clean the whole tank out. That kills the bacteria. Just take out around 25%. Hope I helped!
