meridianofmisery Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hello all! I recently got into plants for my betta fish; I have a ten-gallon fully planted and a five-gallon tank that I want to put plants in. I tried growing water wisteria in it, but it didn't do too well and died. I use Easy Green fertilizer for my 10 gallon, which works awesome, and all my plants are growing well there. I'm looking for ideas on what kind of plants that I could put in my smaller tank that are different from my 10 gallon ( I have a LOT of octopus plants in there, some moss and anubias). Any suggestions are welcome; I'd prefer something low-maintenance. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer V Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 What about Java fern or varieties of bucephalandra? In my experience, all are low maintenance. I have Java fern, two types of buce, mosses, anubias and susswassertang in my 5g and they all grow like crazy with very little maintenance at all. I just occasionally trim and add liquid ferts and it's a jungle in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meridianofmisery Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Thank you for the suggestions! I will look into those. Do they need a special plant light? I have the Aqueon 5 gallon kit that comes with an LED light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have Anubias and Java fern in my Top fin 5.5g betta tank. They are doing well with just the light that came with the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
