Can I put a piece of my aloe plant in my betta fishes bowl?

I picked a bottom leaf off of my aloe plant. It's a chunk about a few inches big. I put it in my betta fishes bowl and he keeps nipping at the end of it. Is it safe to leave the chunk in there? I'm going to be monitoring him, obviously, to make sure he's not eating massive chunks of it. But is it ok for him to eat?

Aloe can be toxic. He may die before you notice any significant change in his behavior.
Reply:Aloe is not a good choice since it is a laxative. It should be removed.
Reply:Keep an eye on him for nausea and diarrhea as well as other symptoms. If he develops that, go ahead and give him some Pepto Bismal.








And, for the astonished-oh wow Pepto Bismal....I say, why would you add something to your fish tank without knowing if it's safe or not?
Reply:Absolutely not. (Why would you want to??) Aloe is NOT an aquarium plant. If you want to put a live plant with your betta, you need to put freshwater aquarium plants.





Java fern, water sprite or wisteria would be good choices.
Reply:it's better if you remove it. to be safe.
