Charm,
He was wild! The brightest pink and shimmery blue I've ever seen in a betta. Loved his leaf hammocks, too.

@Charm, what about rhizome plants that don't need to go in substrate?

Bird, you have to have the right soil/substrate first of all. And then you have to either find someone local who will give you cuttings of their established plants, or order online (I recommend ModernAquarium if you do this, I've never had a bad order.) and then once they are established you have to trim them and keep them maintained so they don't overgrow. Sometimes that means throwing extras away, sometimes that means replanting them... if that makes sense.

Bird,
I do not, Paarthurnax passed just before my move to Tennessee. However, he had a 20 gallon tank all to himself, which a ton of silk plants and caves.

@Versa, do you currently have a betta? What size tank is he in?

I ended up only with a few moss balls because my betta that I tried live plants with had serious beef with these inanimate objects lol

Oh my goodness Versa. That's HILARIOUS! Such a spicy and opinionated boy you have!

@Charm, can you explain a little more how they are so much work?

My sisters betta was 6 when he passed. I had one live to be 4 before he passed. Im curious how long Fishy will live

Live plants are an insane amount of work, but sooo worth it. Also, if you like houseplants like pothos/monstera they can be grown above the water column! Their roots LOVE the fish water.

2-5. although in rare cases, 6-8

Charm,
Bro, mine would flare and go bonkers through his entire tank every time it turned off! It was hilarious. But I had to have it off sometimes to clean up the tank lol

@Versa, I have heard bettas typically only live 2 years. =/

Hahaha Versa! Nalo was the opposite! He didn't like his bubbler, so it got turned off. He has to put up with the sponge filter bubbles, though, which is probably why he hangs out at the HOB filter!

My oldest betta lived almost until 8 years, it was wild. Named him Paarthurnax because he just, seemed eternal lol

I did silk plants in mine with driftwood

Live plants are wonderful for bettas. If not live, silk is also good. Just never hard plastic, they tend to tear their flowy fins on them

I miss having fish. I had two male bettas (seperate tanks obviously). One had tetra friends and the other had guppy friends. I also had snails in there. Their tanks were huge. I miss them <3

I was planning on a sponge filter. I am not turned off by water changes once a week. I am mostly just deciding if I should do live plants IF I get a betta.

I am feeling frustrated with art right now. It comes and goes. I don't know how to keep pumping out drawings consistently. I can draw once every other month and it usually is great. However if I try to do more than that I can't keep it consistent. I do traditional.
Any tips?

dont push yourself! if you can only do that do it! work on being able to do it frequently by gradually decreasing the time. take breaks while you are creating so you dont ge tso frustrated

Go with your creative flow. You aren't a machine, so you can't 'pump out' art. Don't even try.

This is a late response I know, but I just wanted to say that art is supposed to be fun. Art is supposed to be something you enjoy, so when you pressure yourself it makes you want to do it even less. I know art block sucks, and it can be frustrating when you want to create more so you can improve your skills, but you don't have the motivation for it. But seeing art as something to be enjoyed and not something that you 'need' to do, makes the process more enjoyable and by default, gives you more inspiration
