 | site you can search by plant height? |
castlequest Fish Addict Posts: 661 Votes: 0 Registered: 15-Feb-2003   | Is there a site anyone knows about to search by plant height?? I tried plantgeek.net but it doesn't actually say the height of the plants, just the placement, which is relative to tank size I would think. thanks! |

Medium sized plants will be in the "middle" section, and your tallest will be in the backdrop section. |

The problem I have with the aquascape placements they have on plantgeek is that it doesn't differentiate between if it would be a background plant in a 12" high tank or in a 30" high tank.  |

Some plants will stay small no matter what, but for many plants you would have to limit growth or adjust growth by limiting nutrients, lighting, co2, pruning, etc. to maintain a certain height. IMO, a height search is useless, although maybe a "tankbuster" warning for some plants would be in order so people aren't planting small oriental swords in a 2.5 gallon thinking they'll be fine in there.
