Decorations

[fish keeper 2013]

I am planning a betta tank and have been avoiding any decorations that have a remotely rough edge or anything that comes to a point. But looking at some pictures on the forum I notice alot of people have rough looking decorations and jagged points.

Am I just being overly paronoid? A lot of the best looking rocks and wood have rough surfaces...

It is really your call. Some people use them and some don't. I personally try to avoid anything rough or jagged in my tanks, although I did break down and place a slightly jagged piece of driftwood in my 20 gallon. It has worked out so far, but there is always a chance my betta could rip a fin on it.
