monaro1 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 i have set up a brackish tank and am looking for plants to put in it. what plants grow the best,java fern is one as it stays low. all plants in this tank i would like to stay low to allow the archers to be able to swim around the top.the tank is going to be 1m high with 600m of water and 400 left to have plants above the water so the insects have somewhere to live until dinner time java fern wanted just not at lfs prices and can i have tigers in there to as the tank is only 950 x 500 at the moment it has 2 x #8 puffer; 2 x red scatt; 1 x archer (3 more coming)all small i would like a real eco system so the archers can hunt(cool to watch) thanks now for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaymann Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 hey monaro/E49 .. a couple of things to consider with the archers is the first will always dominate over any others introduced later just like cichlids unless smaller .. plus "toxotes jaculator" ( common yellow tail ) will always dominate "toxotes chatareus.".(black tail , spotted)..... plus if you keep scats you cant have a planted tank like this one ...( from my previous post) the scats will slaughter the plants .. try mono's instead but get 6 min otherwise they pick on each other... cheers ... lookin' forward to meetin' and a drink or five ...
