Gill Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 As title, are there any easy care living plants i could use in my tank that tropical fish don't eat?? Inhabitants are Clown loaches, Parot fish ,tin foil barbs ,black widows, ghost knife fish . Lighting is yet to be decided ...Sand is the substrate Thanks Gill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think your only chance would be Java fern and it will still get pretty nibbled, chewed and battered looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Java Fern & Anubis is probably your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Echinodorus plasticus should do fine in your tank :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Echinodorus plasticus should do fine in your tank :lol: Polyvinylus chloridiae is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've got several tropical tanks covered in duck weed and it's not been eaten. I remove it from time to time to feed the goldfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had severums then you wouldn't have any duckweed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have thought about changing the Parrots but my girls bought them for me one Mothers Day ...But today I have 6 more Clown Loaches to add :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: I also suggested that the seller has a look at FNZAS...

maxximuscool Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I got one but not knowing the name. Plant ID anyone This plant is very hardy. Live on land or water, submerged or whatever you like. Will live in frosty winter outside in the soil or in a hot tank up to 40 Celsius. Best of all, it is edible to human as well animal. Taste spicy like mint. Good to go with salad if you short in mint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
