I have a 2 gallon tank with a male betta in it. It has no filter or anything like heaters and any other supplies. If I could add anything else, what would it be? Thanks in advance.

Small filter, unless you are into 100% water changes. I have java moss, a small ceramic pot, and a small piece of driftwood with java fern on it. Or are you talking live tank mates?

I have a small anubias planted in mine.

As far as live tankmates, ghost shrimp are an option, although they may get eaten depending on your betta's tastes Many people also keep an ADF with their betta.

Are WCMM suitable tankmates for a male betta? Would they leave well enough alone?

Theresa-In your tank with the betta and the ADF, how do you take care of that plant, cause I am thinking of getting a live plant myself.

I don't really do much of anything for it, just the lighting that came with the tank. It seems to be doing well though.
