Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all,
I've got a 36G aquarium that I'm waiting for the fishless cycle to complete and has a couple of plants in it. My mother has asked if I could attempt to keep a couple of her pond plants over the winter in the aquarium. She's got water lettuce, parrot's feather and a couple of green small leaf floating plants (I believe one is duckweed, unsure about the other). She only needs a small amount kept over to re-introduce the plants in the spring. I live in sask, canada so the plants would need to be kept from mid september until mid may as normal winter weather is -30C's here. (Her fat, 12" long goldfish are also coming indoors right about now.)
Has anyone had any experience keeping these plants in a tropical aquarium and could offer some advice? Do they keep well? Any suggestions regarding lighting, water quality, etc? Do I need to be concerned about them taking over my aquarium? How about water levels? Has anyone kept Parrot's Feather, floating or submerged?
Thanks!
