    Recently I have been making more naturalistic setups and wanted to do so for my betta fish. This is a simple design which will show my fish off and be easy to maintain.

      For beginners try epiphytes so you don’t have to mess with substrate. Abubias are a great start just attach it to drift wood

      I hope your tank is a decent size, bettas are often subjected to tiny tanks.

    • @meggrotte4760
      @meggrotte4760 3 года назад

      You actually don't need to attach the anubius you could just stuff it in between the Driftwood.
      Wouldn't recommend using what is that annoying stuff aquarium glue I'd actually recommend tying your anubius on with fishing line it works pretty good or even rubber bands you can find like a neutral colored rubber band.

    I really love these cube aquariums and being a betta keeper I really need me some of these aquariums. The planting and the river pebblestones, it is perfect especially with the leaf litter😍👍 What a great aquascape that we can all do in our own homes!
