what kind of artifical plants can i put in the fish bowl with my beta fish?
Posted on Sep 08, 2008 under fish plants |i want to put artifical plants in my fish bowl that has my beta fish. i need to know what kind of plants do i need.
Get plants that have a smooth edge on the leaves of the plant. Sharp edges or edges that have a pine needle effect look to them could harm your bettas' fins as bettas actually like to sit in these plants and when they swim out, their fins can get caught and tear causing some serious medical issues.
A suggestion I would make would be to get a plant close to that of your betta's color. I have a blue betta with a blue plant and he loves it! He is constantly sitting in his plant because he knows that he blends in with it so well. And yes it does make it hard to see him. So that greatly reduces his stress level.

Um…artificial as in FAKE??? It 's not gonna harm the fish, plus I don't think the beta has a preference…so any plant they have in the fish section.

artifical plants can harm the fish as when the fish wants to eat some plants, they can choke and die

any kind actually, just not a lot, go to a pet store and look for the labled fake fish plants for beta fish, remember u dont want to put a lot of stuff in the fish bowl, and dont put it in a large fish bowl either.

You can use anything from the petstore. You can run it like a regular fish tank. Beta are hardy fish.
good luck.

Any, but watch out for sharp edges. They could damage the bettas fins.
