Yes, that is good, but only the minimum. I would also recommend buying a pH test kit, which can be found at any pet store and are very inexpensive and inexperienced/amateur-friendly. I would also make sure to buy pH control pills. Plus, do your water treatment products take care of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite? If not, buy separate products to treat those elements. It's important that your water quality is nearly flawless in order for your betta to thrive.

Will 5 neon tetras and 2 cardinal tetras coexist with a male and female Betta and what size tank?
When a female Betta is introduced to a male Betta one of two things will happen. The male will build a bubble nest and try to spawn the female and during the courting time he will drive off any other occupants of the tank and kill them if they can not escape (hide successfully). He does this in order to protect his prospective young. If she fails to spawn he will drive her off and kill her if she is not removed. In other words you can not keep a male Betta with another Betta (male or female) without trouble. The Tetras will be perfectly OK with a Betta female OR a Betta male. Not the two (pair) that you are proposing. The general rule that all experienced and successfull aquarists live by is a fish needs 1 gallon of water per inch of body length. Work it out.
