5 Gallon Tank New~!

[kumablue]

Hello I am new here!
I will be buying live plants for my 5g tank tom for my betta Blue!
I plant to add one shrimp later on~
but I have a question do anubias Nana and rotala rotundifolia okay on the tank?
or should I pick another one?

Welcome to Fishlore.

Those plants are ok. The anubias will have to be tied to a rock or piece of wood rather than be planted in the substrate. This can be achieved by holding the rhizome of the plant down on the rock/wood using string or cyanoacrylate resin.

You might notice the rotala pearling, however this is to be expected and is fine. Rotala should be planted in the substrate.
