Plants for Terrapins

[Chikan]

I keep some red eared terrapins and have had trouble in the past keeping plants in the main swimming area of the tank. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a hardy plant that will tolerate the abuse and curiousity from them. Even a way of planting them that will help them be disturbed less.

what sort of trouble are you refering to? are the turtle eating it or pushing it a round? is your plant growing?

i found that many people is not really helping the plant to grow and thus it will be rotting. the leaves will turn soft and will be easy meal to the turtle or other fishes. and people blame the fishes.

on the other hand there are fish that never get enough food to eat and so they though, lets give this greens a try.

if the fish are playing around with the plant, it may be a good idea to tie a weight at the root level. once the roots are firmly establish, cut loose the cords that holds the weight.

hope this suggestion is helpful. Cheers

Are there any plant species that the terrapins will find bitter or are more likely not to try and eat?. There are a few goldfish in there but they don't seem to be causing a problem. Looking at buying some plants this week and will try weighing them down more to establish them, but I thought that if I maybe get some larger plants ones that are suitable for ponds moreso than aquariums etc. Any suggestions for species?
