Salt Tolerant Plants

[KageBunshin]

Hello,
I was wondering if you guys could give me a list of salt tolerant plants. I plan to use a little of salt for my goldfish tank and I do not want my plants to die on me. I know Java fern would be one of my choices, what do you guys think?

I have moneywort in my tanks and there's salt in there - seems to do just fine with it!

I have a question...are these plants good for cold water? I plan on a goldfish pond at some point and want to put some plants in there.

I also have a question, why do you want to put salt in a goldfish tank? They are freshwater fish, salt is a pollutant for them.

Iron Man:

A lot depends on the climate. Do you know what "USDA zone you are in?". It tells us what kind of temperature range to expect. Coldwater is a somewhat imprecise term. An unheated pond in Dubai is not going to be covered with ice for months at a time like mine are for example!
