Re: [GSAS-Member] Plants for Topless Tank



I did what Shango wanted with Hygrophila too. Let it grow - it climbs out of 
the tank, attaches to whatever you want, flowers and fills the room wtih 
fragrance. The submerged parts don't look like much - stems and roots. But the 
emersed stuff is really quite nice. This was in a hardwater tank, with a simple 
shoplight suspended above it, and some relatively inoffensive 
(non-plant-destroying) cichlids in the tank, like tanganyikans I think.
