  1. So I believe they may live slightly longer. However, I know a lot of disease is more common at cooler temps. I have always kept the few bettas I had at 78 and only had one cause of fin rot brought on by fouled water. I do keep my bettas in community tanks though and with a slight but of salt. 1 tablespoon per 5 usually.

  2. I think a third dose would be a good idea. I think it is really on the mend though and is looking good. Glad you could nurse it back to health. I try very hard to save every fish. Its so rewarding to me to bring one back from the brink and see it have long and happy life. I believe you will be very well prepared on your next fish adventure 🙂

  3. I don't think filters are a must on tanks. The setup you mentioned would have a very low bio load.  So I probably wouldn't run a filter at all. The only really big advantage I see with any filtration on that size surface agitation and biological filtration. But the plants should cover the slight bio load and if it was me I'd use floaters anyways so surface agitation is not a must. Just my two cents 🙂
