I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm sorry if it came off that way, I'm just trying to make a point. I didn't know you hada filter/heater, my apologies.

If it has been set up already for a few months and if you've been keeping up on your water changes, your tank could technically already be cycled. Could you give us some of the readings of your nitrites, nitrates and ammonia? That will be a determining factor.

Thank you for your understanding if there is one thing i need its a adjustable heater not a 15$ walmart heater any tips or prices ?

Forgot to mention the nearist petstore is over 20 miles away o.o so i just need to wait to get a liquid test kit how much do they cost 0,o

You can order a test kit much cheaper online. I like amazon and I got great little 25 w heaters off of amazon for my 5 gallon betta tanks. They have adjustable thermostats. I will try to find a link ....

Aqueon pro heaters are good. With your 5 gallon tank, a 50 watt heater would work.
For test kits, API liquid test kit is good. It's about $27-35 in stores.
If you can, on Amazon it is $20, a heater from there would also be significantly less expensive too.

My old betta lost his color because of fin rot he died because of that so I got another fishy friend ( a betta). It might be fin rot or maybe something else
