I have a 10 gallon tank in its cycle right now, I want to make it into a 2-3 way split tank for 2-3 bettas but I am having a hard time deciding if plants are going to be more of a hassle than simple fake ones. I bought 3 plants from Petsmart but quickly realized the ones I was given were totally trashed and decaying after seeing healthy ones at another store.
I'd like to go low maintenance, low tech, as this is my first tank, and really don't want to have another confusing chemical to test for.. (Kh? Co2? What?). I have seen some amazing fully planted betta tanks that are low tech, but it seems really hard to pull off to me...
I wish it were as easy as:
1) Moneywort
2) Java Fern
3) Green Stuff
4) ???????
5) ???????
6) PROFIT?
All the plant guides I read talk about co2 tablets and stuff, the filter I have has a black carbon bag but I dunno if thats what its for...
