Well Water
I have actually known a few people to do betta water changes by the turkey baster method.Its actually pretty easy to do, i watched them do it, although I never partaked in changing my betta’s water that way.
My last betta lived 4.5 years, got a water change 90% of his life every 2 weeks, and he got a 50% water change. But then again I kept him with no gravel as it was easier to clean his tank that way. A few months before he died I started changing his water weekly and did about a 20-25% water change then. Then a few months ago he got fin rot, he got a 15% water change daily to refreshen his water as he was being medicated but he still died. He was a troopr though, and I still look at the shelf he was on to see him. Habits are hard to break.
This new betta is now living in a gallon eclipse tank, and is getting a 15% change weekly. I do have a sand substrate in his tank, along with a heater as 6 gallons is harder to keep warm than the little 2 gallon my other betta was in. It has been up and running about a month now, he is living happily with 4 MTS, and 3 shrimps (1 blue, 1 bumblebee and one ghost). Its a happy little tank if I do say so myself
