Plants I'm currently growing include: amazon swords (Echinodorus 'Ozelot', Echinodorus osiris), Anubias barteri (var. petite nana, coffeefolia), Vallisneria americana (natans), Cryptocoryne wendtii (brown), Cryptocoryne parva, Sagittaria subulata, Java fern, and Nymphaea lotus (zenkeri). My Nymphaea loves this tank and it growing like crazy right now. I would highly recommend any and all amazon swords and small varieties of vallisneria for a high temperature tank. take a look at Tropica's website for temperature info, and check out any planted discus tank forums. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
