Well how much would everything cost!
And my friend has a betta fish and it has not filter and heater! It has been living for a while :I Why do i need a heater and filter?
 
Bettas need water temp. around 76-80 to live happily and tp be healthy. Yes, they can survive without...but not thrive. As to the cost, it can go as low as 25.00 for the tank, maybe 10-15.00 for the heater. If you want it around for some time, a heater is necessary As for a name...wait till you get it and see what's its personality is like.
 
its Beta fish
i have one, very easy to take care of
just ask for one, say u will do everything for it and they never have to clean, feed.........ext. Also, keep it in ur room if you get one, easier to take care of
ask the pet store person what u need

name it Mr.Billy

;D
 
It is spelled Betta, not Batta.

You will need at least a 2.5 gallon aquarium, with a gentle filter, and an aquarium heater.

As for convincing your parents- ask nicely, behave yourself, research Betta's, and impress them with your immense knowledge on the fish.

Do what I do- Randomly drop interesting facts about the animal you want.
Example: Did you know that Betta's have an organ in their head called the labyrinth that enables them to breath air from the surface?

~Most people are misinformed about proper Betta care. Betta's can survive in small unfiltered, unheated bowls, but they will thrive in properly sized, filtered, heated aquariums. There is a big difference between surviving and thriving. Thriving means that they will be active, less likely to become ill, live longer, and live well.
~Betta's are tropical fish and require an aquarium heater to maintain their temperature between 77F-82F. Lower temperatures cause inactivity and poor health.
~Though a Betta does have the labyrinth organ I mentioned above, they still use their gills like any other fish. A filter will keep their water in good condition, and aerate the water.

Bettas can survive without a filter and heater, but it's not thriving. At all. They'll be susceptable to all sorts of diseases and parasites. There's a LOT more to keeping fish that just a container of water + fish. It's more of a complex chemistry experiment!

A Betta is a surprisingly fragile tropical fish, those long-fins are entirely unnatural, with the same needs as any other tropical fish. A stable water chemistry, a heated tank, a good filter without a strong current and tall plants in which to hide and rest.

A good set up will set you back a reasonable chunk. Fish are not cheap pets if you're doing it right! I dread to think how much I've spent on mine. My fish medication cabinet is larger than my human one!
