xXInkedPhoenixX Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hi, I would say, since you have sand your best best are rhizome plants, like Java ferns, Anubias. They are easy plants, slow growers so you might need a bit of them to get started. If you have planting substrate below the sand I'd put in some small swords. I like a valisineria or Bacopa can be fun and easy to propagate. I tend to lean more on the easy plant side myself. I like no fuss when it comes to the green stuff!

Thanks for the ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xr4tiCrew Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I would say 84 degrees is not going to bode well for any plants in your aquarium. But not sure what your intentions are for this tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that, in my limited experience, that lots of plants thrive better than a few plants. That is, planting heavy right from the start seems to make the plants more likely to succeed in terms of outcompeting algae. Plants can be expensive, but I had a harder time planting a pot or two over time than I did just biting the bullet and planting a whole bunch all at once. Good luck!

Thanks, I will most likely be adding multiple plants today including java fern, anubis nana petite, more java moss, and maybe another moss ball! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
