Water Cress

[rEvolution27]

I read somewhere that watercress can grow complely submerged so i was wonderin g if it would be alright for my tank. A watercress feild might look beautiful. Or will my fish just eat it all.

isn't watercress edible ? is it the same watercress that i always order when i eat hotpot ? hehe

yeh and it grows submerged.. I was just wondering if it's tank safe. The fish store only sell floating plants and i thought a bed of watercress might be cool.

i wouldn't see any problems with using water cress in your tank... if its natural habitat is water then it should probably be ok if your fish start munching on it, then good for the fish !

just be carefull that you get watercress thats free from pesticides or any other chems same SOP procedure as with all aquatic plants to be introduced into your aquarium

Watercress Nasturtium officinale is a marsh plant and will not last very long in an aquarium, even if the fish don't eat it all as soon as it is planted.
