Raising betta fish generally does not require sand and aquatic plants. Because aquatic plants are easy to rot, some sharp aquatic plants can also scratch fighting fish, which can easily cause infection. Decorative aquatic plants are not necessary, because the safety of decorative aquatic plants is not very high, and it is easy to cause injuries to fighting fish. Moreover, betta is not easy to lack oxygen, and does not need aquatic plants to provide dissolved oxygen. Sand doesn't need to be put either, because it hardens the water. Betta fish prefer soft water, and putting sand will destroy their living environment.
Does the betta need to put sand and water plants? Why not?

1. Do bettas need to put sand and aquatic plants

? Bettas do not need to put sand and aquatic plants, because aquatic plants and sand will destroy the water quality and affect the living environment of bettas. Moreover, after putting sand, it is easy to breed bacteria in the water, leading to the infection of fighting fish.

2. Why can't bettas put sand and aquatic

plants? 1. Aquatic plants: It is generally not necessary to put aquatic plants to raise bettas. Because the main function of aquatic plants is to provide dissolved oxygen through photosynthesis. Betta fish are not easy to lack oxygen, so they generally do not need to put aquatic plants. Moreover, many aquatic plants are easy to rot, and some sharp aquatic plants may scratch betta fish, so it is usually not necessary to put aquatic plants in betta fish. Some people encourage people to release water plants that are easy to raise, such as water Ficus, because they can absorb harmful ingredients in the water, which is conducive to the survival of betta fish, and can also help them reproduce. This kind of aquatic plants can be released, but the premise is that the aquatic plants do not rot.

2. Sand: There is no need to put sand to raise betta fish. For the sake of beauty, some fish friends tend to use colored sand and stones as ornaments, but they do not know that the crevices of sand and stones provide a hotbed for the growth of bacteria. If you put sand in the tank and do not clean it for a long time, it is likely to breed bacteria and cause the fish to get sick. In addition, white sand, shell sand and other alkaline sand must not be put. Because the betta likes weak acidic water, and these alkaline sands will cause the water to become alkaline and hard, destroying the living environment of the betta.
