Mangroves would probably die, in a betta tank. Mangroves have a few different species, some being full saltwater, some being brackish. I don't think either form would thrive, in freshwater. It would either die, quickly, or slowly die. As it decayed, it would pollute the betta's water.

In a saltwater tank, Mangroves can be useful for consuming nitrates, used just as you would a Macro Algae.
