Okay cool thank you

No because I don't have any test strips but I'm pretty sure in my area it's super hard. I think when I tested it it was the darkest level of red on the strip :/

Thank you and yes I'm doing water changes decently often. I did about 25% twice a week but I'm not sure if that's too often or too much. So I moved it to once a week. What would be best?

Yes I did get him recently, a few weeks ago from PetSmart. And that's good I'm glad he's not sick. I wish I could have gotten all the bettas there they looked so sick and sad ):

My water is on the harder side, how can I make it softer? And will my hard water hurt him?

i used my last test strip yesterday and everything was in the safe zones, i just got this new tank 2 days ago so i havent changed the water yet but in his old one i did 75% change weekly. and oh no fin rot ):

hello, i recently put my betta (iggy) into a 3.5 gallon tank. he used to be in a 2 gallon one. hes always been very shy and not very active so id hoped that putting him in a bigger tank would make him feel better. ive had him for a few months now and hes never really come out of his shell. hes...
