Strong Plants

cheseboy · 12-12-2005, 01:43 PM

I need some hardy plants for my 10 gallon. Since I have ACFs I will need somthing strong like thick strong stem, good root system. I used to have water sprite underwater but my frogs kept of snaping the stalks and making it dacay into useless dangerous nitrates. It did fine floating. So I have ripped out my water sprite already. Anyway can you name some strong plants. I have high lighting and Flourish in my tank with a sand substrate. Also I am currently growing a bananna plant witch is doing great.

Java Fern would work well as it usually isnt eaten

Java fern, anubias, anacharis, possibly hornwort but you may run into the same problem as with wisteria. A. Reineckii is a thick stemmed red plant that may work. Bacopa if you can get it to grow (use carolina, not monneri).
