Diet, And Live Floating Plants

[Georgia_ofthejungle]

Hi again!
I now have my gorgeous 10 gallon all set up, and am treating it with prime, and stability, hoping to have it perfect to add my fish end of next month as I am going away soon so want to get the fish afterwards.
I plan to stock my tank with 8 ember tetras, and 1 male half moon betta. I was just wanting to check the diet I have chosen for them is perfect! I haven't worked out proportions, but I plan to feed tropical fish flakes in the morning, and frozen brine shrimp, or daphnia at night. Is this good?

Also, I have a few silk plants and a piece of drift wood in my tank, but I am wanting two little live floating plants, for my betta. I cant find anywhere, what kind of plant to get! Any suggestions?

I might post a pic of my tank!

amazon frogbit is another option

One other option for floating plants might be salvinia natans

You're going to want to get some pellets for your betta. Flakes make it very hard to really see how much they're getting to eat & can cause bloat.
I also think the frozen brine shrimp & daphnia should just be occasional treats but am not 100% sure >.<

Thank you everyone!
I will get some pellets, and maybe give the frozen daphnia/brine shrimp once every couple of days?

The frozen daphnia/brine shrimp should be kept to only once or twice a week.
Another floating plant you may like is dwarf water lettuce

Ok, will keep the daphnia/shrimp to twice a week
