Beta typically live in dirtier water. Labyrinth fish haave two sets of lungs that allow them to breath our air when needed. Thats the reason they gulp at the surface and that some people feel its ok to let it live in a tea cup.

Some people add "black water" additive for betas as well.

So... sure RO is probably ok... but overkill for a beta. Save your money.
