The more plants the better. I also recommend having some tank mates that are really fast. Ut wont pick on the bettas. I use endlers. The bettas would start fighting then a endler or a cherry barb would zip by and the bettas would stop fighting idk why but it works. Have a nice carpet and a bunch...

I have jungle val. And I cut damaged leaves all the way to the spot they all grow from. All the damaged leaves. Once they are removed it will look thin for a bit. But it will grow faster if you do it that way. I had a ton of trouble with my val for the first few months i had it. But I trimmed...
