Pumping air into a CO2 diffuser?

Hi, I have a 3 liter bowl for snails and low requirement plants, it has no filter. And was wondering if adding a CO2 diffuser (to get fine bubbles) but pumping just air through it would have any effect on plant health or if it would be better to just add an airstone. Thanks for your opinions

Edit: The point being favoring gas exchange and air harnessing by the plants, I would like to know which of the two would be better for the tank overall

Week aqua M300k Pro/S300 Pro too much for 5 gallons?

So I introduced in my five gallon cube some red rotalas and althernanthera reineckii mini not knowing they need a stronger light than the one I currently have for them be red and now they are losing their red. I was looking into some options and figured out Week aqua M300k or the S300 would work but I'm wondering if they would be too much for my five gallon cube. What do you think?

Bumpy tail on betta?

Hi! I noticed my betta's tail has some sort of bumps. What could it be? I don't think it's gas/air bubbles because the tail does not seem to go upwards and I have no CO2 injection in my tank, there are a lot of micro bubbles though.

The tank is a 5 gal/20 liter and the parameters are fine but he was very lethargic for a month or more until this week in which he has been very active, also he is eating well. However, he doesn't expand his tail, not even when he sees his reflection. He is around 1 year old.

Appreciate any help!

Hanging plant/moss for this arch?

Hi!

So I have recently put this spiderwood piece into my 5 gallon and thought this arch may be a good place for a hanging plant/moss. Is this achievable? Which plants would you suggest considering it's a low-tech?

Thanks!
