Live plants in tank- what do NZers use?

[mary]

sorry to exclude others outside of NZ- but do other kiwi's have live plants in their tanks? our local pet shop (upper hutt) has a variety but i don't know what would be good for Axies?

i just get any plants that they sell at my pet store (porirua) its called pet corner. they have some nice red ones in at the moment, sorry i dont know the names of any plants. im sure someone else from nz can help you out a bit more.

do you keep them in their pots?

 

[alex]

nope i just plant them in the sand and they do fine. sometimes when i see axie poop ill burry it close to the plant because i think the poop acts like a fertiliser.

i don't have sand but i suppose they could stay in the little pots. my bigger tank already seems too small with all the things i want to put in it!
