What kind of plants can you put in with a betta fish?

Bettas are tropical fish that thrive in warm, shallow water with a pH of around 7.0. They are native to Southeast Asia, where they live in rice paddies and other shallow bodies of water. Bettas are carnivorous and feed on small insects and crustaceans.

When choosing plants to put in a betta tank, it is important to select plants that are:

- Non-toxic to bettas

- hardy enough to survive in the same water conditions as bettas

- small enough not to crowd the tank

- do not have sharp edges that could injure the betta's fins

Some good choices for plants to put in a betta tank include:

- Java fern

- Amazon sword

- Anubias

- Water sprite

- Hornwort

- Duckweed

- Red root floaters

These plants are all non-toxic to bettas and can tolerate a wide range of water conditions. They are also relatively easy to care for, making them ideal for beginner aquarists.

When planting the tank, it is important to avoid overcrowding it. Bettas need plenty of room to swim and explore. It is also important to plant the roots of the plants securely in the substrate. This will help to prevent them from floating to the surface.

Bettas are beautiful and active fish that can make a great addition to any aquarium. By choosing the right plants, you can create a beautiful and healthy environment for your betta to thrive.
