My amazon puffer tank leaked so I took it apart, scraped off all of the silicone, and cut the glass to make it a lower profile tank for a betta. It's a low iron glass tank and it's already heavily modded, so I didn't want to throw it away.
He is a fancy plakat betta. According to the breeder, he is around 3 months old.
The plant is Whorled Pennywort (Hydrocotyle verticillata). I bought a pot full of it for a very cheap price at a gardening store. If you buy it through an aquarium plant seller, it might cost more.
The plant soil is amazon plant soil capped with sand. This is a low co2 plant, and it is very hardy so it shouldn't die. So far, a couple of leaves yellowed and melted, but at the same time new growth are emerging. There are more new growths than the few that yellowed. This is expected b/c the plants are going through an adaptation to a fully submerged state.
My betta Geronimo uses the plants as his sleeping bed.
