3. Can Betta fish live with floating plants?
It is important for Bettas to have free access to areas of clear surface water. They breathe air using their labyrinth organ.
Floating plants like Duckweed or Frogbit can provide shade, mimic natural habitats, and reduce tank light intensity, which Bettas appreciate, but the plants must not completely cover the water.
4. Can I add driftwood to my Betta tank?
Yes, driftwood is an excellent choice for Betta tanks. It enhances the natural aesthetic and provides places for your Betta Fish to explore or rest.
We have many beautiful Bucephalandra and Anubias Driftwood Creations that combine plants with selected driftwood to create unique works of art that will make a striking addition to your Fighting Fish aquarium.
5. How do live plants help reduce Betta stress?
Live plants create a natural and calming environment, offering hiding spots and reducing aggressive tendencies. They also improve water quality, ensuring your Betta stays healthy.
6. Are Betta fish compatible with moss balls?
Yes, fontinalis moss balls are Betta-friendly! They:
- Help maintain water quality by absorbing nitrates.
- Double as toys that Bettas can push around.
7. How do I clean plants and décor for my Betta tank?
Rinse new plants and décor with dechlorinated water before adding them to the tank. For ongoing maintenance, regular water changes and gravel siphoning are essential. Magnet Cleaners are ideal for cleaning the glass. Check out our full range of premium accessories here.
8. What makes a Betta tank visually appealing?

9. Do Bettas need a heavily planted tank
While Bettas don’t require a heavily planted tank, having live plants improves their environment by mimicking their natural habitat and reducing stress. It is also important for them to have some open space to swim in and clear access to the water surface as these labyrinthian fish are air breathers.
10. Are all live plants safe for Bettas?
Most aquarium plants are safe, but avoid sharp or spiky plants that could harm their fins. Stick to soft plants and decor with no sharp edges for optimal safety.
