What fish do you recommend I put in with my Betta fish and what equipment should I use? I already have a ph test kit and fish net.

Hello, my fish has acaquired those nasty little anchor worms. I have removed the anchor worms with a tweezer, and am doing a 100% tank clean. I’m washing the foliage and gravel with warm water and salt, etc.
How do i clean this tank?? It’s 10 g, and i’m wondering what i should do? Salt? Vinegar? Soap and warm water?
How should i clean it to disinfect from the anchor worms and get all the algae off?
Suggestions much appreicated. Thanks so much!

if you want your betta fish have companion in the tank, find a fish that is the same to its size and has a short tail like mollyfish. avoid angel fish, guppy w/ long tail, male betta(female betta has a 50% chance not to kill by male) or any fish that has a long tail or fins. because your betta might believe its an enemy.
