FriendlyLoach Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hey everyone, I was wondering if anybody has experimented with putting aquarium plants in cold >50f water. I imagining that some can handle it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Blake Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I have found Anubis and Val dose surprisingly well in cooler temps what are you trying to keep that low? Edited January 5, 2021 by Taylor Blake Added a plant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Anacharis over wintered in my Goldfish/Koi pond in North Jersey even when the ponds were covered by several feet of ice & snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have had Elodea and Java ferns both below 50F, Elodea I believe can even go under 40F, its my favorite plant by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Fish Den Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Guppy grass probably can, I think that stuff would survive the apocalypse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expectorating_Aubergine Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Most aquarium plants can handle low temps like what you describe. That's part of the reason why you see some shops keeping their tissue cultured plants in refrigerators. They will just grow slower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyLoach Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 I am trying to make an outdoor planted goldfish pond. I am thinking to go with java fern, amazon swords, anacharis, and may be val. I know that the goldfish may eat some so I will try a lot of plants. I have a different question, do you all know if aquarium plant roots can grow through a liner? And I am thinking of making it dirted, but I know goldfish love to dig in the substrate and so how deep a cap of gravel should I do to keep the soil down. I know this may all not work out, but I may learn a thing or two. Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
