Hi,
They will eat just about any plant (except those with
tough leaves). Probably the easiest would be wisteria,
and/or anacharis. They can be rooted or just left to
float in the tank. If you have only a watt of light
per gallon then floating would be best. If you have over
1 watt/gallon, then you can root them or leave them float.
If you leave them as floating plants, they will take their
nutrients directly from the water and will help control
the nitrates and nutrients within the tank.
