OKay. i just cleaned my betta's tan\k. i did a bunch of research and it said that my fish, since its i a less than 1 gallon tank, needs to have a clean tank once a week, because it doesn't have a filter or heater.
Make sure while cleaning the tank you only use warm tap water! you HAVE to put water conditioner in or else the fish will die! also no soap! that is toxic! DO NOT use distilled water or bottled water. Tap water is the only kind of water that wont kill your fish! please don't poke around the tank with objects that could stress the fish out. so when transferring the fish, do it quickly!!! leave at least an inch at the top of the tank so it can breath. it has special organs that help it breath oxygen. they need at least an inch to breath!!
step 1- fill a Tupperware container with TAP water only! put water conditioner in... read the conditioner instructions!!!
2- fill a cup with the same water from the tank!!!!!!!!
3- get a ladle, Betta scoop, cup, etc.... just don't use a fishnet... and scoop the fish into the cup with the same water from the tank.
4-strain the tank water and make sure all the crap and such in the tank is all gone off the rocks,plants and tank walls. DO not use any soap!!!! that would be toxic!!! don't wash the rocks or plant just rinse them with tap water!
5- put the rocks back in the tank with the plants.
6-make sure the water in the Tupperware is room temp. if it is dump the water back into the tank.
7- now you can dump the water in the cup along with the fish back into the tank slowly!
Just something here: When I put water in our fish's tank, we use jugs of pure spring water we buy at the store.

Well a good start is making sure his/her tank is clean and doesn't have lots of leftovers at the bottom of the tank (this will prevent it from getting sick), Feed it a healthy and rather popular food (if the betta doesn't like the food he will spit it out or not eat), keep the Betta in a tank by himself (this will lower stress) and a very important thing to do is make sure there is enough in his tank to keep him busy/happy.
