	Low light plants
MoFish Hobbyist Posts: 148 Kudos: 40 Registered: 15-Mar-2006	Hello everyone, just a small question: What kinds of plants would do fine in a 20g tall with 1.5wpg and no CO2. Also, these plants need to be easy to find in a big chain store like Petco or Petsmart. Thanks, ~Morgan ~Morgan~

Green hygro and ludwigia repens should grow ok in there. For more, try ropica.com and search for low light plants. It will come up with more than I have recommended here, but a lot aren't very common. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

Anubias will grow extremly well in low light but it does like feeding and plenty of water movement. Java fern is another excellent choice. Remember these plants "must" be tied to either natural DW or a rough rock I use 15lb nylon fishing line and works perfectly and never a problem. One of the taller Java Ferns has a serated top this can be cut of and tied to DW and makes an excellent low under 3ins foreground plant. I am using this in my Betta tank. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
