Most potted plants have been grown emersed and will take some work to convert to submersed. Plants grown in an aquarium normally do better if the roots are not restricted by a pot.

try waterplantz (John Peters) on trademe - he usually has a good selection of plants.

Hi Lorrainel,

I have heaps of small amazon sword if you're after some.

How's the discus getting on?

John's plants are usually grown emersed but will be ok with strong light if you pick the right plants and are prepared to wait while they convert to submersed growth.

Discusguru have you rescued those lovely plants you had in a tank outside?

Yesss..., finally got around to setting up the 1500mm x 700 x 700 planted tank. took me ages to wash the gravel and florite (sp). lol

hi ron,

yeah discus are going good. the blue diamonds have come out of hiding now which is great! but haven't set up the ar-980 yet coz waiting for my new filter media + heater to arrive - but coz its holidays its taking ages!! so frustrating having an empty tank!! i've decided to put it in my room that way i can look at them all the time my bf thinks its crazy but that's ok. i'll pm u about the plants. i'm now on the hunt for a really nice piece of driftwood to put into the tank i'm gonna try to stick java fern on it like alan's managed to
