I will rarely have just one type of plant with a betta. Here we see my
sons betta building it's bubble nest among three types of plants, salvinia,
duckweed and below anaracharis. There is actually a forth plant type called
ricci in amongst the salvinia which I will be writing about in the future. |
 |
Reminiscent of frogbit but much smaller. These small pads
send feathery brownish red root like structures into the water to gather
nutrients. Almost inseparable to it's cousin duct weed the two are rarely
seen apart. |
 |
A close up of the pads. We can just make out the hair like structures
on the top of the pads. |
 |
A single pad and it's ethereal hairs that are actually capable of deriving
nutrients out of the environment like it's fellow roots below |
 |
Here my camera skills have failed to catch the complete beauty of the
root like feathery fronds of the salvinia water fern. |
