Thanks guys

Good to hear. Anyone have suggestions for the heavy feeding ones that will help filtration better ?

most floating plants hornwort, water sprite are a few easy ones

Anubias barteri is easy to keep alive.

those hanging plants your mom* has in the kitchen work well with bettas

whisteria works great on the betta will nap on the leaves..
hornwort also works but it likes to float which fills the top of the tank..

prettymuch any fast growing, low light plant will work well

*ok maybe not your mom.. but you once knew someones mom who had a ton of this stuff..
