| 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? |
| Backwood Barns |
| 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. |
| Versailles |
| 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 |
| Backwood Barns |
| Oh my goodness Versa. That's HILARIOUS! Such a spicy and opinionated boy you have! |

| 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 |
| Backwood Barns |
| 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. |

| 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 |
| Backwood Barns |
| 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 |

| 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 |
| Hummingbird Meadows |
| 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. |
