No, you do not have to put real plants in a tropical tank, you can use fake plants if you like. Many people put live plants for aesthetics as the greenery tends to look very nice with small colourful fish

What sort of tank should you use for tropical fish?
Use a tropical fish tank, preferably new. That way you know that it should not leak. Try to avoid using a tank that was used for something other than tropical fish. I prefer glass tanks over acrylic because they are less likely to mark or look dirty and they are easier to keep clean. Most aquarists will tell you to start off with a small tank and as you enjoy it more and more, you can opt a larger tank. When I started into tropical fish and as I bought larger tanks I used the smaller tank for breeding. Tropical fish tanks and supplies are available in most pet stores that sell tropical fish.
Can you put a snake or bamboo plant in your beta tank?
There are plenty of real water plants suitable for planting in a tank that is occupied by fish that will not place the fish at risk. Terrestrial plants do not belong under water. They will eventually rot and poison the water thereby killing the fish.
You had fish in your fish tank for about 3 months and all of a sudden you have snails in the tank and there are no real plants in the tank where did the come from?
well the snails had to grow from somewhere right?! if you had no real plants then i guess it would be quite hard to get them to grow!!! but they wouldn't have hitch hiked some times private fish stores give you them anyway because the snails are used as cleaning facilities so it grew from there but remember if you keep it there is separate food that you have to feed it if you have no plants!!!
