I can only help with the Betta.

It should be fine to put it in that tank. Never put a Betta in a bowl. Those don't have heaters, and don't have filters. A Betta has a minimum of five gallons. And they like a temp of about seventy five to eighty.

Also, that setup is fine for a Betta.

so the rocks and plastic plant wont hurt it?

oh nd will a bubble wand be too much current for a betta? and is an aqua clear 10-20 filter be ok with it? sorry about all the questions!

People say plastic plants will hurt a Betta, but that's all I have in my Betta tanks. I've never had any problems. Also, the rocks should be fine. I have kinda rough things in my tank. I know it's not ideal for a Betta, but I've never had any problems at all.

Some bettas hate currents. Both of mine swim into the current for fun. I'd say if it seems like the fish is being battered around, change something. But most likely it'll be fine.
