I went to the hatchery on Friday and got tons of plants! I'm looking at them now and thinking that I have enough to start my own plant store!
I'll be planting them between two 5-gallon betta tanks and one Eclipse 5 gallon hex. Right now, the plants are in critter keepers. I will wait a week before planting for any snails to crawl off, and any snail eggs to hatch. Is a week long enough? There were pond snails in the plant tank, and also MTS. I would like some of the MTS but I don't want them to overrun the small tanks. I may still take them out if I find them.
Here's the list of plants:
Echinodorus angustifolius
Lagarosiphon madagascariensis
Cryptocoryne lutea, C. wendti
Anubias nana "petite"
Sunset hygro
Bacopa - moneywort
Narrow leaf saggitaria
Last but not least -- java moss, for "betta beds" !
I''ll put the moneywort and the sunset hygro in the hex tank, since it has a little more light than the other 5 gallon tanks. I'd like to try a piece in the other 5 gallon tanks too, since the bettas would love to hide in them. Wish me luck with all these plants!
