Re: what plants are safe for gsp?
Well if its a gsp still living in brackish water try java moss but dont quote me. You can search for brackish plants. Do you still have your gsp in freshwater?
You have the right to bear Puffers.

Re: what plants are safe for gsp?
Java moss and java fern both do okay in brackish. There are other plants, but not many. Mangrove plants can be tried, but they need good light, and part of the plant has to be out of the water. Some downsides to to this plant. I've heard anachris (not spelled correct) can live in brackish, from someone who has done it, but all the info on that plant does not indicate that.

I would look into macro algae, some are quite nice too look at.
