Hornwort is an easy one to manage. Does root and doesn't need to have a lot of light.

Anubias and elodea are also great beginner plants

thanks ill order some soon

Eleodea filters a lot of nitrates and produces a lot of oxygen the same time. Don't neet to put it in the dirt, just let it float.

 

[gregory741]

the thing is I got a filter in my tank so I would like something that will not get caught in the filter

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

Well with the plants if you do it right, you won't need the filter

 

[Asevernnnn]

The filter might also be producing unnecessary excess heat that you don't want in your tank. What I see the majority of people, including myself, do is have a lot of live plants and just a sponge filter for filtration, while doing regular water changes and spot cleaning

 

[gregory741]

I will probably keep my filter in my tank tell I get 7-8 plants

Nymphaea Rubra Bulb Live Aquarium Plants Water Lily Java Moss Fern Anubias Fish | eBay Anacharis Egeria Elodea Densa Beginner Tropical Live Aquarium Plants Java Moss | eBay would these be good one's?

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

Yes, they would

 

[gregory741]

would the Nymphaea Rubra Bulb work with normal 1 1/2 inch gravel??

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

I honestly don't know, but it could, hopefully someone can help you out

 

[gregory741]

I'll just get a different plant instead like:http://www.ebay.com/itm/161623735213

my dad just pointed out that my tank is by a window but the windows facing south so would the plants die from not enough sun anyone who has experience with this?

 

[Izzdelatorre98]

I have a small lamp that I leave on during the day because my tank is away from sun exposure to avoid excess heat. Might I also suggest that you ditch the gravel and go bare-bottom or sand? Waste and other nastiness will get trapped under the gravel and make cleaning more difficult. Plus, in my opinion, sand/bare-bottom is more aesthetically pleasing.

[gregory741]

I would like to keep my gravel I'll look in to those lamps

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

Oh, about the plants, in the meantime waiting for the plants to get here, you can use fake ones, like vines, and fake floating lilies

 

[gregory741]

I have one fake plant in my tank and all of the newts pile on to it it's kind of funny

 

[gregory741]

I ordered 2 elodea's they should get to me in 5 days or so
also does this newt look pregnant?

 

[Cliygh and Mia]

She does look kind of cubby... Hopefully she will lay eggs!
