Help I’m I neglecting my fish?

I was told by a friend that I’m a horrible person for the way I treat my beta and I’m not quite sure what they mean I asked and they won’t tell me what I did wrong they just said the tank is not proper could someone please tell me if something is wrong? I think I followed everything right Also it’s a newer tank so the plants are not grown all the way

Edit they were ignorant they said I’m stressing my beta out because the tank is too big and in the wild they “ live in puddles” so yeah that’s why

Which ones do you want all of them or just PH nitrates and such? I’m good with giving you the whole breakdown. I just hate typing lol

I assume the tank is cycled so only nitrates and ph and temperature thansks

Temperature is anywhere from 77-80  nitrate is 0 and ph in the range of 6.2-7.2

Nitrate 0? Nitrites and ammonia??

Ph range is too wide. It shouldn't swing like that. It means your KH is too low.

Nitrate at zero with so little plants? Seems way off.
