How should I decorate my tank?

[SummerOj]

I like my ruins theme in Athena's tank but I think shes bored. Anything I can put in there? I might get a new plant...I heard bettas like ping pong balls?? What do you guys think/what would you add?

[5green]

you could put some like plants in there

[Mecal]

more gravel and some live plants :D

[New2Betas]

I wouldn't add more gravel that just reduces the amount of water she has. I would add some sort of cave for her to hide in.

if i put live plants in there do they require special gravel or something? And will natural light be enough?
A cave...good idea

well, there isn't much gravel in there, so if there were live plants, I think she would need more for the roots to grow well.

some plants, with thin roots will need smaller gravel, but most plants do not require anything "special"

:) alright good to know. Any plants you'd reccomend?

[Mecal]

I dunno, what do you like? lol

I have no idea about plants lol. I heard about java moss but i have to clue where to get it

I personally don't like to add too much rocks because it takes away from the swimming room, but if you're going to put live plants in there, you probably should do a little more. I've heard that java moss is a good beginner, but I don't know anything about live plants. Females especially love hide outs and being in plants so I would get a couple caves and more plants.
