Just a question i have a betta fish next to my 10 gal tank, And he managed to survive bulging eyes, Fin rot, Dirty water, Managed to live in a bowl, Cloudy water, And thought i needed to feed him each week, So are they the strongest or hardy fish out there?

In some respects I suppose you could consider them a tough/resilient fish given what their natural habitat is, basically stagnant puddles. They are labyrinth fish, so they can breathe air. As long as they stay reasonably wet, they will survive.
