What plants could go in my 40 gallon bow front. It has regular lighting

 

[rockyofhockey]

I like the look of java ferns. Would those work

 

[nameless01]

java ferns would work, they don't need much lighting.

Would crypts work?

im not sure, maybe someone else can answer but you might wanna post the kind of lights, watts etc. to get an accurate answer

 

[Mebbid]

Java fern, java moss, anubias, crypts, and bolbitis are all good low light plants.

Frog bit, sags and hornwort also

I'll second the anubias. They are a good lower light plant.

[cgthebeast]

It matters the type, some are floaters, some are root feeders

Well I'm going to get ferns or Anubis

 

[rockyofhockey]

So should I burry them in the sand or what

 

[rockyofhockey]

got an Anubis

 

[cgthebeast]

Anubis is actually one of my favorite plants. It can actually be tied to objects like drift wood or a rock or be planted into the substrate. I belive it does better when tied to something though

I thought the, SNAIL FREE sign meant it's got a free snail. Not, it ain't got no snails! So back on topic I love Anubis and will definitely have some In my 60 gallon! Great choice!

Hm wow just read my post. Who wants to play find the Texan?

 

[rockyofhockey]

Ya lol no snails!!!! I put it in the substrate it looks good also put a black backround on it.

 

[rockyofhockey]

what do u guys think some of the leaves r folding over and I just got him is this normal

 

[Khuligirl93]

Anubias actually need to be tied into a rock or piece of wood. Their rhizome photosynthesizes and if it's covered up the plant can die.
