I noticed my bettas really loved to hang out in floating plants, but at the aquarium store the staff helpfully taught me how to tie the plants down to some driftwood and told me my plants wouldn't continue to grow if I just stuck them in a jar of pebbles in the tank. Now I have attached my plants to driftwood, but I think my fish miss the mass of floating plants from when I was waiting to get my driftwood and had just "thrown" the plants in their tank temporarily.
I think one of the plants I was talking about are a type of Anubia but I am not sure.
My questions:
1.) Can plants survive just floating around with nothing to put their roots on, (I was given FlorinMulti to put in the water)
2.) If only certain kinds of plants can survive just floating around, which are they and what kind do you think betta would like. Mine seem to like resting on big leaves and hiding near the roots.
3.) Is there a way to grow a few betta-friendly plants in small tanks without having to go totally nutzo getting very deep into learning all about aquascaping? (I'm all for learning things, but 1 step at a time works for me)
