Ok, so i've had my tank for about 1 month or two, and after i got my plants in, and started surfing the web for answers to my many questions, i realized that i was getting NO algae!!!!!!!!!  so i got really worried and went to the pet store, and i got some tetra pellets, and i figured it would help because with my corys and plecos, it would give them algae to feed on, but its been weeks and ive been putting a whole bunch of pellets, but no algae has been growing!!!. a few days a go i noticed some clear algae growing on my drift wood. but thats it!!!  HELP!! please !! AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?? please comment!

and do bettas breath on the surface?

yes use a fork thats stainless steel.  another method is use the fork method but microwave the veggies so that the cells walls break down a bit.  makes it easier for the fish and algae eaters to scrape the tissue off of the veggies

Yes, bettas have a labyrinth organ - it is similar to a lung and it allows bettas to breathe atmospheric air (breathe from the surface).
