Do I Need A Filter For A Betta Fish?

Well, I have a 2.5 gallon aquarium. I do have a filter for the tank but I would like to know if I could do without it because I want to get a female betta fish. I read that bettas like stagnent water so I was thinking I could just do frequent water changes instead of putting a filter in. The reason I don’t want to put a filter in is because I would like to place it in my room and I don’t like the sound a filter makes. If the betta does need a filter would it be a good idea to get a sponge filter? How much do they cost?
I also have a heater for the tank for those people that are going to tell me I need a heater

I have heartburn all day but especially at night and in the morning. Like I ate before I went to sleep but I never do.
I just don’t know what to think anymore. I was so sure this morning I was going to get a BFP. I feel like my symptoms are going away… anyone ever felt liek this AND had “implantation spotting” and ended up not being pregnant? For awhile I was conviced I was and now I’m starting to doubt myself. Anyone feel the same way? I’m so anxious for tomorrow. I feel like she’s going to come and surprise me :( Any advice would be appreciated.

How Can I Get My Aquarium Plants To Grow?

My goldfish keeps eating them, so I put them in a bucket in the sun to grow a bit and recover. I’m worried that they won’t get enough nutrients from tap water, so would it be better to add a bit of water with fish poop in it after cleaning the tank?

Starting New Aquarium And Need Suggestions. ( I Am A Begginer)?
