Hi , I have a 29 g tank with 3 or 4 live plants (small), two large driftwood pieces (plants are attached to the driftwood), & 4 Marino moss balls. I’ve had these plants including balls for 2 yrs. I can’t remember the names of the plants.
I’d love to add a couple more easy and low maintenance plants to keep my new fish happy. There is a cave in my tank but would like more live plants for them. I have black phantom tetras, platy, and guppies. I want floating plants (1st choice) or plants I can attach to the driftwood. Low lighting plants would work best. I know I’m picky. Please give me some names of plants and I’ll see if the petsmart closest to me carries them. Thank you in advance.
