New tank. What plants?
Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2016 9:22 am
Hello everyone
I am going to be putting together a 10g planted tank soon. I have a lot of experience with house plants and gardening, but not as much with water plants.
I have narrowed some plants down based mostly on appearance. However, I know less about their difficulty. Below is a list of the plants that I like and I was hoping someone could help steer me away from any that are known as being difficult, so prolific that they will take over the tank, too tall for a 10g, or not compatible with each other
I would love to tell you exactly which light I have on the tank, but i have not gotten it in yet and I don't remember what I ordered from the pet store. I do know it is on par with a 20" Finnex Stingray
-10g
-LED lighting system (sorry)
-Aquaclear 20
-Aquatop GH50
-Black sand substrate
Foreground
-Banana plant
-Java moss
-Moss ball
Midground
-Water Sprite
-Java fern
-Dwarf sagittaria
Background
-Anacharis
-Cabomba
-Hortwort
-Myrio
Thank you
Jeff
