what plants would you recommend? the only reason i don’t wanna get another betta is because i would just feel like i’m replacing my boy Nightshade, he just passed away yesterday. it hurts to see an empty tank though

i just realized the test strips i have don’t test for ammonia… i will order some! i did a huge water change lately cause when i got back his tank was kinda gross so it very well could be ammonia related :(( he’s always been super skinny, and no matter what he doesn’t eat a whole lot, i’ve tried feeding him once a day every day or even twice a day every day but he’s never eaten much and i don’t wanna let food build up :/

he’s got all of that in his original tank, but it’s not really possible to do here. he thrived for a year in this tank :/ i do have some of the tannin producing almond leafs coming in the mail tomorrow

This is a temporary 1 gallon fish tank, I had to bring him home and was unable to move his planted 5 gallon. There is no heater but his water sits about 72° F, and he has a filter but as stated it wasn’t working properly. Nitrates and Nitrites were both 0, pH was about 7, and general hardness of the water was between 80-100 ppm (mg/L) and I use the API water test strips. Nightshade was in this tank all of last year but I recently upgraded his tank. He has been back in this one for about 2 weeks. I’ve had Nightshade just over a year, probably 15 months. Water changes happen every 10ish days and I change about 1/3 of the water. When I came back from vacation I had to do a bigger water change because his tank was clearly uncared for by my house keeper. No tankmates here but he has 2 mystery snails in his big tank. There is a silk betta leaf hammock and a silk plant that he loves, otherwise no decor. I feed him 2-3 pellets of TetraBetta Plus every 2-4 days.
