 | colorful plant question |
GirlieGirl8519  Fish Master *Malawi Planter* Posts: 1468 Kudos: 1029 Votes: 35 Registered: 25-Mar-2005   | I want more plants for my 55g. I have 2.4wpg. I really want to add some color, but know that colored plants need more light. I am going to buy from http://www.floridadriftwood.com and was wondering if any of these plants would grow in my tank: Mayaca sp. Hydrophila Tropic Sunset Red Foxtail They all say Med-High light, but of course don't have wpg on there. If none of these will work, then can anyone suggest any colorful plants. I already have crypt wendtii red and I am really looking for a colorful stem plant. |

I especially like the look of the Mayaca. I have never seen it before though, only on that website. Does anyone know anything about it? |
