Aqua Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Has anyone used lily plants in a large (48"x18"x18") aquarium with any success? I like the idea of having the stalks in the water, with a flower on the surface, would give a nice look to the tank, I feel, but want to know if anyone else has tried this...

Until recently a cabbage tree (Cordyline spp) was considered to be a type of lily. If you mean the water-lily type plants, then try the reasonably regularly available 'banana-plant' for this effect although I don't know often they flower in aquaria. Andrew.

Andrew, I have been dying to ask you something for ages......why don't you use the quote system that is already there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked AJ that months ago.. it's so easy, with no copy or paste to do, and it makes it much easier to read and follow, but I got basically the same answer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it wasn't easy, just that I didn't like it. > I got basically the same answer Because, it's true. If Cees asks me to use the 'approved' technique then I'll stop using the '>' if and when I post. Andrew, stuck in his ways... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
