Aquatic Plants?

[evut]

Your list of species is fascinating for me Molch - do you have soft water? What temperatures are your tanks? My tanks are set up with soil like yours and also don't have a huge amount of light.
We have super-hard water and the plants that do well for me are mostly in your "tried these but they die" section. Ludwigia in particular, but I also have a huge Amazon sword, Hygrophilas and Sagittaria natans are growing well. Cryptocoryne wendtii is one we have in common and also Hornwort.

I always wondered why Egeria and Java fern are always listed as the easiest species by people - they just don't work here at all. Even Java moss isn't good for me - it just turns into a ball of algae.

Thanks Molch. I dig some digging on the Walstad method and all those plants. My water parameters are almost the same as yours, from what you said, so I'm hoping some of those plants work for me. I'm quite interested in the hydrocotyle and the vallisneria. Time to go and dig around on ebay for some plants!
