Susan, I have kept Anubias nana and a couple other Anubias in my African tanks for years. They do very well. I have also kept the various java fern varieties and java moss with my Africans with no problems. It all depends on what Africans you have. Tropheus will eat just about any plant you have. Your brichardi and calvus would do fine with just about any hardy plants as they tend to leave the plants alone. Your electras will not bother the plants either, typically. Same thing with Aulonocara. If you were keeping Zebras or Tropheus I would stick to the varieties I mention at the top of this note. Otherwise, most hardy plants will do reasonably well. One of my faves is the Ruben Sword....

Not the eccentric "fish are prisoners" Dr. Ruhland! He is quite a character. I am trading fish tank set-up for a session in his hyperbolic oxygen tank from a space company in Russia. Erik, do you happen to know of any good hard water plants for an African rift lake tank? I think vals and some apongeum (sp?) bulb plants are okay. Have you had any personal experience growing plants in your African tanks?
