Ok thinkingof getting live pants for flipper.
What is protocal for cleaning out a planted tank?
How does one go about cleaning it and stuff.

Hey Blue

Flipper would enjoy some real plants I am sure. You clean the tank the same way you do with out plants. Water changes and gravel vacs. Just don't wanna suck up the plants. Yes you will still have a filter and heater too.

Aponogetons, and java ferns are your 2 best plants for a betta tank.
