So I have a 5 gallon tank with two plants in the back. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to clean around the plants. I'm scared to get my siphon too close that I might accidentally suck up their roots or something. Have any tips???

Not new new to keeping musk turtles but just got a 125 litre tank for them and would like to have a few plants in there with them. Would like to know what I can put in that they won't destroy. Tried fake plants in my old tank and they ripped them to shreds,but would rather have living plants...
