Need Help Choosing Brackish Plants

[DiscusKeeper403]

Hey,

I'm here at my dads, and I wanted to re-do his/my puffer tank. I wanted to go with some brackish plants, but I wasn't sure if there where any. I did some research and found that Java fern, Pygmy Chian Sword, and Java moss may work well in low level brakish. True? This guys in 1.004- 1.005 specific gravity. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

DL

Thanks! I still have a few questions as to other plants I was told could go in Brackish, and a question on fertilization. Can I post em' here, or am I better off in the Brackish part of the forum?

Anyone?

Ask away

Okay! Well, I am going to go to my favoirte fish store soon, and need a little more help. Will Pygmy Chain Sword, Anubis Nana, Anubis Barteri, and Wysteria all go in brackish? I was told they could. I will most likely use liquid ferts and maybe some root tabs, but they can be the freshwater plant food right?

Thank you.

I'm going in a moment. Anyone got anything for me?

Just got back. I did a complete make over on the tank! It looks really good. I ended up getting some Java moss, Java fern, Lotus, and I think hydro or something. The guy that got me the plants is one of the only fish store employees I trust, as this store is locally owned, and run by hobbyists for hobbyists. He said all the plants I have are fine for low brackish. I guess we will see...

Your Fern, Moss, Lotus (Tiger Lotus, I'm assuming?) and Hygro will do fine in brackish.

I'm not sure what type of Lotus, it has broad leaves, and is almost a purple color.Just looked at a pic, and turns out it is tiger lotus
