well my beta likes to swim with his long fins on plants, like through them and lay up against them, but hes a male and females dont have long fins so i have no idea.

They will need plants along with floating plants as refuge. Feed them only once daily.

why only once? i feed my betta in the morning and at night.

There is nothing wrong with feeding once.

Mine likes to hide in low bushy plants (silk, no plastic for bettas), and I feed her once a day when I feed my other fish, but I add in a few of the pellets that will drop since she doesn't seem to like to top feed and she is slower than the others. I also add some free-dried blood worms to the mix a few times a week.
