plants and if you whant more then 1 betta get girls and keep in groups of 3- 5- 7- 9 odd numbers or they fight

 

[corylover]

yea I was going for the odd numbers

If you can find female Bettas that have already been living together, that's best.

Odd numbers do not magically make them ok together. That's a fable.

If you have a local Betta or Aquarium club you may be able to get young sisters to raise together.

Betta Sororities work for some. We tried it at my store. We added a group of females to a 10g. Ended up with dead and dying females.

I would do a heavily planted tank with some floating plants as well as some rocks and driftwood.

Adding Catalpa ( Indian Almond) leaves will help the Bettas also.

Ebay or The Planted Tank sales forum or maybe even this site.

What is the benefit of IAL?

It adds beneficial tannins, lowers ph and my fish and shrimp LOVE them.
