Can my beta fish live for a little bit without a plant or a place to hide in. (Just gravel) I got the fish today and its gunna a few days?

It is not ideal for your betta to not have a place to hide, rest, relax. But it will likely survive. I guess your gonna find out if it works or not,

In the future please have a home ready for pets before you get them.

A betta needs at least a five gallon tank with a filter heated to a stable tempurature between 78 and 82. Get a heater with 5 watts or so per gallon of water. Get an adjustable heater, not one with a set tempurature!

Never remove the fish from the tank just to clean it! Use a gravel vacuum to change 25% of the water once a week while sifting through the gravel. NEVER DO A %100 WATER CHANGE!. "unless there is some sort of contamination/emergency." Add new water that is the same tempurature as the tank water. Add water conditioner to the new water. Prime is the best water conditioner, it has added benifits , It takes 2 drops from any eye dropper to treat one gallon of water. it is safe to round up if you ar not sure. A liitle more is better then a little less.

Feed the fish about 3-4 pellets a day. New life spectrum betta pellets are the best, feed thawed out frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, or daphnia, at least to rimes a week. Use a shapr nife to safely get the equivalent of 3-4 betta pellets from the frozen block. Then unthaw it in a small cup of the tank water.

Decorations are important, but also should not take up too much swimming room, Never block off the water surface either. Bettas need to easilly get to the water surface to breath. Silk plants or live plants are good, but plastic can rip fins. Broad leafed plants are great and can be used by the betta to rest on.

Beta fish don't need plants in their tank to survive. In fact, it just adds maintenance because you have to change the tank water more often because the plant is sucking up all the oxygen in the water.

Fish get stressed if there's not a safe spot to go to. It'll likely get ick from stress. And Julian, plants don't use oxygen, they sort of inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Please don't answer if you have no idea what science is.

yes for sure, just get the plants as soon as possible. live plants are better
