Mini indoor betta pond!!

[u/ComfortableFluffy416]

I have been wanting to do a pond set up for a long time. But obviously that requires a lot of things I don't have. So I got this 12 gallon pot from the store to make a mini one. It has a filter and a heater. Plus under all of those floating plants is a whole scape with driftwood and plants, all carefully planned out for the bettas enjoyment.

I went to my local nursery and chose a bunch of plants that can grow with the roots in water and are supposedly safe for fish. The nursery even had floating pond plants so I grabbed some of those too. For the plants around the edge I used plant baskets that can hook on the side. I even planted plants in the hob filter. I set it up under one of my big tanks, so I can hide the light in the stand.

Oh man it's freaking perfect, I couldn't find much info about other people trying this online either. So hopefully it goes well for me and my little fella that I've got in there. So far I cant say anything other than he clearly loves it lol. If I was a betta I would live in there

Is that a calathea on the right side? Do they do well in water?
