This many plants on the top and bettas are surface breathers right? Can he still get to oxygen through the plants?

    Bettas aren’t THAT stupid. It will just push away the water lettuce to breathe. But the plants below may have problem with not enough light.

    Dont forget, wild bettas live in rice paddies…dense vegetation environment

    You can also use a comb to thin it out as needed!

    Here’s my one tank as I’ve been experimenting with my duckweed. Top photo is immediately pre-harvest, middle is immediately post-harvest, the bottom is one week later when I harvested again because it came back with a vengeance

    Mind you I was not fertilizing at this point. I am now fertilizing again because apparently the roots are way too long which is a sign of nutrient deficiency, so that’s fun
