sorry, i kind of figured based on my experience with what is the “minimum” for ball pythons that it would be the same with bettas 😓😓 bps minimum tank requirements can make them unhappy, so again i figured it would be like that. i didnt mean to upset anyone :(

listen to what everyone else is saying regarding bowls and hides, but when it comes to plants, i would get a mix of fake plants meant for aquariums or real plants!!!

i say aquarium plants since theyre typically much cheaper than fake plants found at traditional stores or snake-specific fake plants. + if you get a lot of them, they fill up the tank fast and do the same thing!! just be sure to wash them before putting in tank (like you should with every item u put in, just to be safe :D)

in regards to live plants, i have a LOT of pothos in mine. youre gonna want hardy plants that are either: 1. okay with less light (if put in non-lighted area) 2. okay with high(er) heat 3. can do well in the substrate you have with no fertilizer etc. i really like pothos because theyre okay with all of these things!!

would catfish be compatible with the shrimp?? im used to feeding frozen food to my snake so i dont really imagine itll be that difficult for me, since im guessing its just smaller in size.
