Need Plant Suggestions

[lilfishie]

Right heres the deal, i am going for a slightly cooler temp this time (22 degrees ish), well airated so i need recommendations on good plants for this setup 1WPG but can be upgraded

 

[Truck]

how tall is the tank? any ferts or CO2?

 

[lilfishie]

roughly 30 cm, will be using ferts just not decided on which yet

 

[Truck]

go for tropica plant nutrition + available from aquaessentials ( google it) or the green machine (again google is your best friend)

for plants;
vallis
cryptocoryne ( wendtii 'various colours', becketti petchii, parva, willisi ) the smaller species really
anubias the nana varieties.
java moss.

 

[lilfishie]

i shall invest in some tropica + ad start looking around for plants

 

[Truck]

aqua essentials do plants as do the green machine, but a 'decent' LFS will have tropica plants

 

[lilfishie]

that rules mine out then there ok for some fish not others

 

[Truck]

pets at home carry them but there copper treated the majority, IMO the green machine is the best place

 

[lilfishie]

have got to pop up p@h anyway for some more dechlorinator some will have a good look, would rinseig for a few days help remove the copper?

 

[Truck]

ask them first, i would only worry about the copper, if you have inverts or plan to get inverts

 

[lilfishie]

thats the thing, i won't be having them in this particular tank but i do in another that i will be getting plants for

rinse them under the tap to remove copper.
