Hey all,
When I first started up my tank, I had no idea that plastic plants were a problem to some fish. I originally wanted to stock some neon tetras, but instead opted for a betta. I've heard a lot of talk that plastic plants are very bad for betta, because it could tear their fins. All the plants in my tank are plastic though! Is it possible to change these without disrupting their habitat? Could I switch to real plants? Or should I go with silk. I've also recently added an ADF to the mix, which plastic plants are also a problem for. :|
