What Plant?

[Galligak]

Since my eBay selling experience is doing well my mom is allowing me to buy one or two aquatic plant for my tankance: so my question what one?

What kind of lighting do you have? How much?

 

[Galligak]

Honestly I really don't know. It says 120v~ 60hz .20A 13W
So yeah

 

[rich311k]

What size tank?

 

[Galligak]

It's a 7.8 according to aqua advisor or 8ish gallons with a converter thing.

 

[Galligak]

It also could be moved to a 12.5 gallon tank with no lighting but will be getting some

I would stick with, mosses, java ferns and anubias.

 

[Galligak]

Cool thanks! So would star moss work well?

 

[rich311k]

It shoud do just fine.

 

[Galligak]

Great I'm going to buy some

 

[Frosty452]

star moss is a non aquatic moss and will die submerged

Really, I crossed referenced several sites. Thanks for the info and the catch.

There are a few folks who report growing it submerged, but agreed that the majority of reports I have seen say it dies submerged. It might be 1 of those emersed vs. emerged growth things. Never picked any up to try it myself. I would stick with java moss or xmas moss as a first attempt at a plant. A couple of java ferns would work ok, as would some anubias nana or anubias nana petite.

Ok good thing that I didn't buy it. I'll look at java moss and x-mas moss!

 

[Galligak]

Now I'm on eBay looking at three different plants... I already bought some guppy grass and want to know what would go well with it, either Crypt wendtii, xmas moss, or pellia. Now which one?

 

[Galligak]

Well I just bought Xmas moss for 4.25 so yay! My tank is going to be planted
