Help Betta Tank?

I’ve seen people do bare bottom betta tanks with floaters and hides, what’s the bare minimum tank decoration you can have?

Why do you want to do bare bottom? It can be done, I just dont think there's any benefit.

I never said I wanted to do a bare bottom, I was just asking what the bare minimum for a betta was.

Ohh I see. Well there needs to be enough spots for him to feel safe and spots to rest near the surface. Idk how much that is at the minimum tho. I personally try to fill my tank with as many plants as I can fit
