FrozenFins Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Some really good beginner plants are: -Any floating plants -Java Fern -Anubius -Crypts -Valisenaria -Amazon Swords -You wont need root tabs for the anubius or java ferns, they are water colum feeders.

CorydorasEthan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I grow Cryptocoryne wedtii, Vallisneria, dwarf hairgrass, and dwarf aquarium lily well without any fancy substrate (I use pool filter sand) and without any fertilizer (I've had all my plants for about a month and a half). But since I don't have any fertilizer/root tabs, my Amazon sword doesn't grow well, and the Vallisneria doesn't carpet very fast either. On the other hand, my crypts and lily bulb are doing extremely well. I even planted Java fern in my sand and it is the biggest plant in the tank already (it started as a mystery leaflet amongst floating plants I bought from my LFS). So I would recommend pretty much all of the plants that @James Black just mentioned, plus dwarf aquarium lily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
