	Semi-aquatic plants
djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	I have a spare 2.5 gallon. I was thinking of putting a plant like a bamboo or something to grow out of it. What are some good plants that are semi-aquatic?

You can root the philodendron in your aquarium and it will absorb a high amount of phosphates and nitrates. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright
