Bettas In Wild?

[Leedsboi86]

Hey everyone.

I'm hoping to get a new 2-3 ft tank soon to make into a Female Betta tank.
I'm tryin to find idea thats could simulate the there natural home.
Anyone with Info/Pics would be GREAT!

I know Black Water extract will be needed(Can't get IAL's easy)

Other then thats tho any info would be great.

You can get IAL off ebay easily but it does make the water a murky brown

In my sororities I just use lots of plantation as they like to hide in there and I think in rice paddies there is quite a lot of dense growth but it's soil based (probably am wrong here) which you don't want to have in your tank. They also have lots of hide-outs even though they hardly ever use them for anything only the plant areas

All my girls are happy and as long as you have dense planting (silk or real) yours should be fine too

My girls LOVE to take naps in java moss--in it,under it, on top of it, where-ever!
