55 gal tank pebbles in the bottom, going to add river rocks to make more dens for the bottom feeder...when he arrives.

What plants should I add. I have 4ft fluorescent strip. normally on all day.

I'd like the easiest to keep. What parameters should I check before buying?

I would find low light plants and then just experement to see what your fish dont eat. Ill be sending out more waterstar in the spring that does really good in all of my tanks but does not grow as fast in the low lights has smaller leaves and is a little more green.
Also thick leaved plants seem to do well in my gf tanks. Good luck.

I have a book that tells me all the different kinds of aqaurium plants..I'll look at it..and then I'll list the eaisest types..right now Im susspossed to be doing history on the computer. But when I get home from school or tomorrow, asp, I'll list some.

take a look at some of the plants site on information sites
you'll be inspired to get some plants

If you chose live plants, make sure not to chose ones that are poisonous, or they might kill your fish. Here is a list of the safe ones, Easy to take care of:


THE JAVA FERN - this can thrive in dim and bright light
APONOGETON UNDULATUS - thrives well in almost any normal aquarium
ANACHARIS DENSA - this can even grow in hard water
HYGROPHILA POLYSPERMA - tolerates cool temp.


Good luck.

anacharis is a very hardy plant. I have one, and it has grown huge. It has about 3 new stems from it. I dont have a light, and it is doing well. They would thrive with a light.

my goldies keep eating mine so i just
grow it with my fish frys
it not only oxygenate the water
but also absorbs the excess nutrients from the food
which gradually pollute the water
sort of hit the two bird with the one stone

throwing stones at birds is mean !

It's a expression!

But the expression is mean!

But the expression is mean!

its just an expression
get over it please
i wouldn't throw stones at birds
there probably too quick and will fly away anyways
beside i use to keep a pet lorrekeet but lost him
when he flew away

i was going to get pond weed but i'm not sure if the fish would like it.
