Question
can i buy regular silk plants and flowers from a craft store for
my betta fish or should i stick to silk plants made for aquariams?

Answer
Hi Diana;

Some hobbyists do use craft plants with no ill effects, but I don't personally recommend it. I know some have metals and chemical residues that can harm the fish. Just to be safe, use those meant for aquariums.
