Bettas don't generally even look at plants as a food source. It should be okay to put them in his tank, as long as they don't rip fins

i know it takes longer than real driftwood...but by how much?

It depends on the plant. Sometimes, my plants attach within only a few weeks.

Some of my anubias havent even in months.

While you wait, use either a dark colored thread or fishing line to tie it down.

ty, i can use them as a small homemade bush now. had to cut them off and 3 leaves. it was getting too crowded upstairs and he was having a hard time swimming through. i plan to get the exact same silk plant for the 2.5gal with same leaf cuttings for 2 extra bushes in the tank.

wheres the best place to get aquarium safe glue and does it melt plastic? i plan to find a material to make a setting foot to keep it grounded and using a section of the hard plastic trays that come in plastic model kits. i have have those in abundance. if AQ safe glue does melt that plastic then i can make a plant footing out of it also.

Quick question: New boy came from LFS so he won't eat pellets. Is it okay to feed him frozen bloodworms as his staple diet? He even spits out the smallest pellet I have.

Go for it, if youre willing, and he'll eat them, why not?

You could also wait until he's well and hungry after a few days and try again.

Yeah I should've clarified. They get big and will eat whatever will fit in its mouth.

Hey guys, I have those annoying microscopic white worms in my tank. I heard it's because the tank is healthy but it looks............gross.

I haven't added anything new to it except a green tea bag, could eggs have been in it (eww?)

How do I get rid of them...giant waterchange? It's my split 5 gal and I don't want to take it all apart after spending HOURS getting the divider settled in and decorating :/

Nah, I doubt it.

I think all youve gotta do is lessen what you feed your fish a bit (even up the no noms days to 2, rather than 1) and do a bit more frequent SIPHONINGS (not WC) to get rid of em. They leik ur gravel.

So I hear you leik gravel.

I'll just kill them with fire 8D

Try soaking them in the BW "juice". My guy started eating them eventually. Now he eats them without the "juice." I wouldn't feed them it everyday, because theyre high in protein. My guy got bloat from eating too many Anyways, maybe feed him a variety of frozen/live foods.
