Wneh changing water for a Betta it is always better to simply let the fresh water stand (in a bucket or other container) overnignt before using it. The chlorine will evaporate off naturally. Then you don't need to put chemicals in the water to remove the chlorine. If you do use one of the many different chlorine removing chemicals it is best to read and follow the instructions on the packaging.

Addition
You shouldn't remove fish from the tank when doing a water change or adding water conditioner. AND don't use topfin water conditioner as it's more expensive in the long run and an inferior product. Use Seachem products. I don't make money off of reccomending them but i know they are quality products from a company that actually cares about more than gimmicks. Seachem Prime and Stability are mainstays in my fish arsenal.

However, fish cannot be kept in bowls! They need proper tanks with established filtration systems and heaters (if they're tropical). They're very complex creatures that need you to create, not just a container of water, but a whole micro eco system in order for them to survive.

First get a bucket of water, and put the same volume as is in the bowl in the bucket. Let the bucket sit over night, and put water conditioner in it.

Pour the water and fish back into the clean bowl. DONT USE SOAP.

water conditioner (aqua plus) and aquarium salt Biological filtration is the only way to successfully keep your water suitable for aquatic life.

If your container is too small to for a biological filter to work then it is too small to keep a fish in anyway.
