Betta Tank Suggestions?

[xoparis]

I have three bettas, one of which is in QT growing his fins back(Walmart save!), so Im gonna get him a 3g-5g once he's all better.

But I have 2 other tanks:

1g: the boy is VERY tiny...Idont know why, but he's much smaller than most VT's.
3g: for another boy.

At the moment, they only have a small amount of gravel in the. Chances are on my next paycheck, Im upgrading tanks.

What should I put in them? Ailk plants? Some floating plants? They're EXTREMELY low light. Does anyone have suggestions?

some silk plants?

Or should I float something in there?

I would get some nice low light plants or some floating plants. My bettas love their java moss "beds" and like to use floating plants (in my case i just float some cut leaf watersprite) to build their bubble nests. If you go the artificial route, you should probablly get silk plants to minimize damage to their finnage.

Would it be safe to put maybe a snail or two in? Or not?

I need to order more plants. :/

What kind of snail? In that small of a tank, it may not be recommended. Are these filtered and heated tanks?

 

[xoparis]

Yep, filtered and heated. And I have no idea what kind of snail. Something small! haha. But now that I think of it, it would probably be too crowded.

I had 3 ramshorn snails in my three gallon tank before I put the betta in. Now I haven't seen any of them since!
