They're quite lovely tanks, actually.

If you want a good live plant to add that's hard to kill, go with the Java Fern. Bettas LOVE it!
 
how long do they take to grow? the tanks are only 2 1/2 gal. so i dont want the things to be over run. i was looking at the petit nana but i dont kno the temp range of them

They don't grow too fast without lighting in my experience. And even with lighting, it won't take over your tank, my Bettas love LOTS of Java Fern. :)
 
A lot of people have the java fern in their tanks.
I have Amazon Swords in mine. My guys like to lay in among and on the leaves of it. It is easy to keep and hardy.
 
would i need lights if i were to get that plant? they will be in a fairly bright room of the house, it gets the sun morning till midday, will i honestly ned lights? cause i was told that if i have lights too close to the tank ill have an algea problem. also if i do have an algea problem in the long run what do i do?
 
Can someone post a pic of Java fern? I bought some plants from my lfs and there is one which i think may be a fern, but my betta keeps eating the leaves :crazy:
 
Mine isnt that :/

mine looks kinda like these plants on the right
