Raven Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 In the 50 all i have is short but bushy java fern, in the 20 ive gotten that tricking amazon sword to take root but its short too. So im looking for something that grows taller and that way ill make more hiding places and stuff in the tanks. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBrain Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have some jungle Val and some Corkscrew Val in my 30" high and the Jungle is folded at the top and the cork screw touches the top. Not all of it ofcourse but as it grows it will !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Crypt. balansae is another good option - when it's healthy, it has dark red stems - a nice contrast to the green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted May 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 will they be able to survive in low light conditions? i only have the origanail lights that came with the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Just about everything listed so far will do fine in low light - they just won't grow very fast, is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hello Raven, Beside already mentioned, I would suggest Higrophila difformis (water wisteria). It grows fast, bushy and it's relatively tall. It is one of the least demanding plants. It's inexpensive too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go for about $3 for a 2-3 stems bunch. You may also post your wish list in the Plants Give-away/Swap section (pinned). Cheers and good luck!

jvision Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Nature's Corner is a good source of different kinds of plants - that's where I take my left-overs if nobody here wants 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ill keep that in mind for a day were im really bored and decide to leave the north end. Thats what sucks about this city, nothing good is anywhere near here, its always the south and west ends. Grrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykiss Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I've got some African fern (bolbitis) that would do well in your tank. In fact, I have it growing in my 75 gallon tank and they're atleast 16 inches tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
