@Hamyshark There's nothing wrong with fake plants, but try silk or something softer than most of the plastic plants in the store. Rule of thumb: if pantyhose would snag on it, it's no good (fins will snag just as easily). There are some nice-looking, inexpensive artificial plants--just be sure to clean them well when you clean the rest of the tank (no soap!).

Good vid can bettas be kept in large flower vases if they have a heater

Some people might trash talk you saying 1.5g is cruel but its a lot better than the cup at the pet store. You can always upgrade later too. I think a 20g is only $30-40 which is perfect for them plus you can decorate it up reaaallly nice.

A side fact.. Betta fish are territorial up to one square foot. They wont attack fish that don't look like a Betta fish so some tetra are safe cause they dont look like betta and swim too fast for betta to catch.

Lots of ways to clean tank. If you only have the one Betta in the tank you wont have a lot of waste 20-25% once-twice a week is fine. Vacuum the gravel every 2-4 weeks with filter changes. The only thing you want to watch is shocking them. Premixing the water with dechlorinator and gettng the fresh water temp room temp- what temp the tank is at will keep your betta happy. Ive known people to change 100% water but that messes up your tanks biology and can kill your fish if its weak

They seem to like long leafed grassy looking plants. They'll wedge themselves in them and nap lol In the wild they're found in puddles and small swamps so lots of soft smooth plants. Low lighting cause they anger at reflections. They're fond of doorways or donut-like ornaments protecting their sides but not back or their front. Also they hate fast moving water.. If you have too much current in your tank it can actually exhaust them to the point of killing them.

i have a 2.5 gallons tank with a heater. do i change 25% of the water evey week and 100% of the water every 2 months? do i change 100% of the water at all? i see lots of people do that on youtube and the betta seems to be fine.
