wow what a great betta tank. He must be soooo happy

I think you have some non aquatic plants in your tank. The green/white ones in the corner. They are a type of dracena which does best has a house plant on the window sill...LFS are famous for selling them as aquatic plants but eventially they will rot being fully submerged.

the sword should be fine.

generally plants sold with white on them are not true aquatic plants. You can keep the 'dracenia' in the tank just be aware that it will soon rot and melt away. LFS sell these plants because once it rots away, you come back to them and buy more.
