Pearlweed's a great filler plant. Grows fast, trims easy, and looks good as a background or midground. Just keep up with the trimming or it'll take over.

I've had great luck with Pogostemon Erectus. It's a bit finicky at first but once it takes off, it's stunning. Just make sure your nitrates aren't too low, or it'll stunt. Also, what's your photoperiod?

I switch between both! Variety's key, right? My betta gets pellets most days, but I'll toss in flakes once a week as a treat. He goes nuts for 'em. Just gotta siphon out any leftovers quick.
