I believe someone else mentioned using those tiny clay pots but I can't find the post. (maybe I just dreamed it)

Anyway - can they be used instead of those mesh pots they sell the plants in?

I recently went to a bare bottom, but it looks really stark right now - if I add plants they need to be floating or potted. Any advice appreciated.

I use terra cota pots in my tanks. All you need to do is remove the potted plant out of the black thing they come in but leave the fiber with them. Then place them in the pot and add alittle bit of gravel to it so the the plant wont float up

Thanks Koko

I might try that. I also had an idea to use acrylic dishes - something wide and shallow - that would look like little islands under the water. I'll have to keep an ey out for something suitable.

Thanks again - your a peach

something wide and shallow...like tupperware? that would be my plan i think...
i just recently went to large river pebbles in my tank, but i was thinking i'd like to add some live plants, so mine would also have to be potted.

I use terra cotta pots in my water garden. They get lots of algea on them, but I like it. I put the soil in and add rocks to keep the fish out of the soil and to keep it from washing out.

To bad goldfish eat the water plants
so mutch

I have two calicos and two moors and they don't eat my plants. My neighbors common ate pretty much all of her's.

My goldfish eat one some but not all my plants. You just have to keep tring to you find something they dont eat. I have one plant still in the clay pot. The gf still nibble on it so I move it to the tropical tank for time to time to it can recover. I did clay pots so that if the gf ate them up to much they were easy to move.

Im planing to put a clay pot in my betta tank
