you dont want to change like u said u were doing. only change it every month or so. you have to let bacteria build up (its good for fish) If you put water in a bowl, with water conditioner, then in goes the batta, there is no time for the bacteria to grow. u usually wait 8 days so bacteria can somewhat start to grow. ur welcome!! =^)
 
I just got a betta fish yesterday and he is doing great but his water is really cloudy i cant get a filter but its only been 1 day since i put new water in his tank. should i change it now, or wait till later, and how should i change it? thanks so much!

Your water is cloudy due to lack of good bacteria. You should change 1/3 of your water every couple of days and the cloudiness should go away.
 
Obviously you didn't cycle your tank ha ha!
Don't worry, if its a new tank, its just beneficial bacteria blooming. It should go away within a couple days. If it really bothers you you can buy some stuff at the pet store that clears it up. ;)

And thanks for getting your betta a filter, and treating him right!

Good luck!
