kiwiraka Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 The closest you can get will probably be java moss all plants need light and nutrition, and java moss is pretty hardy being able to survive at low light without fertilisers. It will need fish in the tank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Plastic plants I have those but I don't like them.

It will need fish in the tank though. Yep its a community tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 By "Don't need light" I assume you mean other than natural light. Quite a few cope well with lower light levels. Java moss and ferns have already been suggested. Hygrophila polysperma, Rotala, baby tears, Hydrocotyle, Anubias and dwarf sagittaria come to mind. As for fertilisers, none of the above plants suggested should need extra other than fish waste. I have never added fertiliser to my tanks and have had no problem growing the above. If you don't like plastic plants, there are silk ones available which look more natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueether Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thanks Caryl, I'll try anubias and java fern. Hygrophila polysperma and Rotala rotundifolia do well in my lowlight guppy tank, along with java moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
