Suggested Plants/ornaments For Tank

[mwood2]

Well now that I have fry I am looking into making more hiding spaces for my tank. I like the looks of live plants and they seem to be doing very well in my tank but I am wondering what else I could use in there. I like the look of floating plants but don't know much about them or where to find them. I am thinking of propping the wood leaning against the wall of my tank and put more plants in but still not sure.

wisteria is a simple plant to grow, and just cut the top off and let it float and it will turn into a floating plant on it own

anubias
elodea densa
java fern
java moss
hygrophillia polysperma
mos balls
cryptocorynes


floating plants:

salvina natans
amazon frogbit
water lettuce

For shops try:

plants alive
aqua essentials
The green machine

The last 2 shops stock tropica plants which are of the highest quality hence the dearer price tag,

I've anyways wondered how plants grew in tanks. what do you need for them? could somone help? (Planning to plant my tank.)


WOOOOOOW MENG, thats awesome. You should get like, little ornaments like statues, or choose a theme and dress it up. (Christmas, halloween, chinese, indian, etc.)

Oh! Get those moving ornaments, or that treasure chest that blows up bubbles when opened.

the plants absorb nutrients from the water(fish poo,dead plant matter) and by using light they change those nutrients into oxygen and growth i think..

 

[aaronnorth]

the main thing for plants is lighting levels, this then depicts if you need nutrients, CO2, and of how much you need.
