What Plants

[FBTgirl]

What plants do you use in your tanks? Live of fake???

 

[smurfyy_2k3]

too many benefits of live not to use them

I like the feel of live plants, and the fact that I can get more without paying for them- one original hygrophila is now pretty well filling 5 tanks, and there is always a bit extra that can be put in the hospital tank and then discarded.

I use both though barely. I've managed to kill everything but Java Moss. I am doing a hardcore, serious planted tank in the future. It will start off plants only until those have rooted, matured and then I'll add some Apple Snails then eventually the fish.

I prefer live plants. I've tried fake plants before but they just don't look right.

Live. Look good, not very expensive, release oxygen into the water.

As many java ferns as I can spare go into all the tanks.

I hate the look of fake plants.

I love live plants!

 

[OohFeeshy]

Neither.

 

[Yazan]

Neither.

, why?

 

[DevUK]

Live all the way for me! I've only really toyed with Java ferns and some basic plants since my first Elodea densa/goldfish incident (pesky omnivore!). Untill now I've only been able to buy goldfish proof plants limiting my choices.

Now I have a tropical Rio 180 to plant! Muahahahaha!!

 

[OohFeeshy]

Neither.

, why?

I keep fish.

I go live. Iv'e had fake and don't like them besides you get acouple and snip and plant and prestoe you have more plants. You can't do that with fakies.

I have live plants in my community tank. Fake in the betta tank, it has a UGF, and live plants are hard to find around here, especially ones that stay small. Fake in the mbuna tank, they'd just eat or dig them up anyway.
