Marnol D Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hello, Besides duckweed (i cant get it to grow in this specific tank for some reason even though I only run sponge filters any tips to get it to grow would bre great) what are some water column feeding plants? My current 50 gallon is planted heavy with rooted plants but I dont have any water column feeding plants. (use to have hornwort and took it out and threw it away and now am kinda missing it... luckily i found one tiny stem and am trying to re cultivate it but it doesnt seem to like floating willy nilly around the tank). I had java moss in the tank but didnt like the look of it so i took it out and moved it to a more fitting tank and i also moved out the 12 moss balls which were in the tank) The tank has one rainbowshark, an infinite number of guppies, and ghost shrimp and some inherited bala sharks that i have to find something to do with ,(they are also seem to eat duckweed but wont control the guppy population) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 My favorites are hornwort and water sprite. The hornwort I have is happy when it floats willy-nilly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I've really like Guppy Grass. I've have it floating in my fishroom tanks, like a rolling ball of chaeto algae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I've seen it for sale in a store was at the one I sold it to. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
