The betta itself doesn't have to wait 24 hours, but the water in the tank needs to have had conditioner put in it to take out the chlorine and ammonia. When you want to put the fish in, float the bag it is in in the tank water for at least half an hour so they reach the same temperature. Then add a little of the tank water to the bag, so he gets used to the new water chemistry. Wait a while longer, and then you can release it into the tank.
If the change in temperature and chemistry are too sudden, the fish will go into shock and possibly die.

How do you make your betta not to hurt other fish?
By not adding other fish? You'll be surprised that in most cases its the betta who is the victim. Betta is such slow swimmer and they have large fin, which makes them perfect target for fin nippers. Although, you can add bottom feeders such as Corydoras catfish into the same tank as a betta, they do not occupy the same level.

How can you get your betta stronger if it is weak and please if you answer dont say anything that can hurt a betta?
Simply follow the basic rules of fishkeeping which are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (a Betta is a 3 inch fish and needs at least 3 gallons). :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week. Bettas are tropical fish and need to be ke[pt at around 78F. They should be fed a good "Betta specific" food morning and evening as much as they will eat in 15 minutes. If you follow the above rules your fish should do OK. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that the Betta will be constntly getting sick and will live a shortened lifespan.
Can two male betta fish be in a divided tank?
I think that they will fight. Well, if the divider is clear, like glass, then they will fight. Betta fish are also called Siamese Fighting Fish, and will attack the same gender. If the divider is dark and you can't see through the other side then I think they will be fine and not hurt themselves slamming into glass. If you want to have fun with them, put a mirror on the tank and watch them slam into the wall. Don't do that too long, or they can get hurt. I hope I helped!
