Plant ideas....

[TheTenthDoctor]

I am tired of guppy grass. I am tired of ancharis. I need a break!!!!!!!! Okay, does anyone have any ideas for new plants or mosses to grow? I feel like I have stagnated and haven't tried any new plants. I need plants that are hardy, and good growers. Any ideas??

Not an experienced plant keeper.

but I seem to be so far having success with:

Anubias nana
Crypt wendtii
Corkscrew vals
Red ludwigia
Wisteria
Christmas moss

only the Christmas moss has really established, and is growing very well.

the other plants are newer, and some of their existing foliage is melting, but are all all growing new leaves and are rooting like crazy.

most of these are readily available. No CO2, just a all around fertilizer once a week, a few root tabs. LED lights in an aqueon lid. 20gal long.

How much light do you have on the tank?
Are you adding aquarium plant fertiliser to the tank?

Ambulia, Hygrophila ruba/ rubra, polysperma, narrow or twisted Vallis, different types of sword plants (swords can also be grown in pots in a garden), water sprite, hydrilla, Aponogetons if your feeling brave.

They're basically like Anubias and I even called them "Asian Anubias."

Might look into adding those to the parosphomenus tank

I'm a walstad fanatic with a 100 WATT LED bulb. Brave? Yes I am feeling brave.....

Aren't those more of an emergent plant?

Both, actually.

Like anubias. Yeah I've tried anubias. One of us didn't survive....
