Why Bettas Like Floating Logs
Bettas are surface-oriented fish that often rest near the top of the aquarium. A floating log gives them a shaded, protected area close to the surface where they can rest comfortably while still having easy access to air.
This type of decor can help support natural behavior and make a betta aquarium feel more secure and enriching.
