We’ve seen some really creative tanks that use this to create little passageways from one side of the tank to the other.Īuthor Note: When you see this plant out of the water it can be easy to dismiss it. The large leaves make for great hiding places, but the smaller stems allow for movement underneath. This species of plant needs very little light to survive which makes it a smart choice for any owner who doesn’t want to add lighting to their tank setup. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth considering though.Ĭryptocoryne wendtii is a great live plant for Betta fish because of how easy it is to care for, and what it adds to the tank. This is a species that doesn’t get a lot of attention and isn’t found in tanks nearly as often as something like Hornwort. Chances are you’ve heard of at least one or two before (no matter how long you’ve been interested in aquariums).īut Cryptocoryne wendtii is a bit different. Most of the Betta fish plants we’ve included on our list are pretty popular. This color in combination with the natural beauty of a Betta is yet another reason why this pairing is so great. Under the right light, Anacharis can blow you away with the vibrant green it has. Even one plant can end up being more than enough depending on the size of your aquarium and the number of species you keep. Since this plant can grow quickly and get rather dense it can be a great hiding place for the Betta fish in your tank. You can root it or float it (floating is our favorite actually) which is nice. Most aquarists prefer to spend the majority of their time thinking about the fish in their tank, so having a low-maintenance plant is always convenient.Īnacharis doesn’t need a lot of light to survive and is versatile in how it can be utilized. Under the right light, they almost seem to glow. The large leaves that jut out of the substrate add a neat visual effect. We’d say that about one-third of the Betta fish owners we know have this plant in their tanks!įirst off, the Amazon Sword looks fantastic. The Amazon Sword is a good Betta fish plant that’s a favorite of many owners. Your main job as an owner will be to consistently trim it to prevent the Hornwort from taking over your tank. Keeping stress levels low is one of the most effective ways to maximize the lifespan of your Betta fish and helping them live a happy life.Īuthor Note: One thing you’ll need to look out for with this plant is its growth rate. No matter which you choose, it will serve as a comforting hiding spot and object to investigate. Just like Java moss, you can choose to root it or float it. It would probably be hard to kill even if you wanted to. It’s extremely hardy and can tolerate a wide range of water conditions. This plant also requires very little experience to care for. We like this because it matches the flowing beauty of Betta fish quite well. It has a nice rich green with thin whispy leaves that create a cool flowing effect in your tank.

First of all, this plant is absolutely beautiful.
