Granted, I’ve also seen don’t feed live food for the same reasons there’s a lot of conflicting info out there! I know there are Betta hammocks out there, but the ones I’ve seen are either a silk leaf with a wire in it or a painted foam lotus that is secured to the bottom of the tank with fishing line. I’m nervous about gravel substrate changing the pH, so I’ve found some manufactured sea glass gravel so no sharp edges, pretty and neutral colors, and not painted, but will I get a good bacteria bloom with it? I’d put some moss balls in with him, but I’ve read live plants can carry disease risks. I’ve been looking at the biorb decor, but the plant bases and sculptures seem to all be ceramic.

I’m getting ready to set up my Marina Portrait Aquarium and have been hunting for decorations for my very special, frowny faced Betta.
