Well for a BIrthday gift for my mom I was going to Plant a Vase with one aquatique flower plant(suggestions) and a Beta. Any siggestions for this?.. Also any Guides involving keeping bettas? I dont know nothing about them at all. Thanks.. If wanted and I get help Ill put up of pics when im done.
 
Bamboo shoot + 1 Wild betta + 1 Indian almond leaf(ketapang) = beautiful
 
bettas are not hard at alll. well for you, your mom might find it a challenge cleaning the tank every 2weeks unless you live with her. you just have to have the beta food, and i used to put lettce in my betta tank (when i had one).
 
She can take care of it. I live with her though.(still in highschool) So I can help. The bamboo idea sounds great. Is the wild betta the same as the ones they sell in the little containers at petco?
 
Almost any plant will do, as only the roots will be in the water. The only thing is you will have to work out a way to keep the main body of the plant above the water level.

Remember...roots need to stay moist, but if completely submersed, some terrestrial plant roots will rot. Good luck, these can be very pretty...although I always feel sorry for the betta.
 
I kinda wanted the Vase because she likes vases and stuff but i guess I could put it in a 1g or maybe a 2.5g and divide it (male and male or male and female)
 
well im going with a 2.5 and getting the filter later
