Re: [GSAS-Member] Plants for Topless Tank



Thanks to everybody who weighed in on this discussion!  The flurry of emails
this morning has certainly given me some plants to track down and consider.

Cheers,
Shango

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.
