Ok so I'm in the middle of setting up a permanent betta home, but came across a sweet betta on aquabid I couldn't pass up. So I'm going to need to house him in a temporary container for 3-4 weeks until the new tank cycles. What should I do as far as water type, water changes, etc? This is quite an expensive betta, not to mention I would feel terrible if he croaked, so I want to give him the best temp home possible until he can be transferred to his permanent home. I know they are pretty hardy in general but I would like a specific goal to strive for. At the most his temp home will be 1g.

Thanks!!
