I like the sounds of this. I went out and bought Pothos sp. today and some Spathaphylium (peace lily) today to give it a try. The peace lily was because that's what they used to keep with the bettas in a vase a few years back. My grandmother still keeps her peace lilies that way though the betta is long dead. She couldn't get the lily out of the neck of the vase she used after a while and it's quite likely what killed the fish.
