Betta Tank Environment

Question
I wrote you yesterday regarding plants in the betta tank and you responded that you didn't recall ever saying plants aren't necessary.  There is a link (below) for related articles on your all experts page where it discusses this but I guess it's not your article -- my error.   Thanks for responding.  http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/qa/a/qa004.htm

Answer
Hi Ter,
 Yes, that was written by someone else.

  Personally, I don't think a betta should ever be kept in a vase, with or without plants.
