DennisP Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Are there any plants suitable for growing mostly emersed in a cold water tank? Tank: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=58395 I'm thinking something along the lines of a tall sword plant, but I'm not sure on the minimum temperatures etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I have crypt balansae growing in an unheated tank. Cyperus helferi can handle cooler temps as well down to 20deg, and some Echinodorus can go down to 18deg. Java fern can handle cooler temps as well.

karina Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cabomba is my suggestion. I recently refreshed my tank with some cabomba. The existing plant suffered from the temp being raised to 28 degrees. Since learnt that the supplier of it to the LFS grows it in a pond! I have proven myself that this plant grows well in natural light with no obvious algae. It can grow pretty long in the right conditions.
