Mama is soo excited 
- I finally located a lower-48 vendor who will ship live plants to Alaska. They have everything; I want to make a big order - so...
what plants grow well in cool newt water (50 - 55 degrees winter, 60-65 summer)?
I can provide good levels of light, though the newts probably prefer low light. Plants will be potted in the tank.
In the past I had Ceratophyllum (love it), Java fern and Java moss (love it) and Elodea (Elodea and I recently had a falling-out; see ammonia & plant thread),
but I would like to try other species as well:
Ludwigia? Anubias? If so, which species?
Y'all have nooo idea what a pain it can be to find aquarium plants in the great state of Alaska. People up here like duct tape, diesel, and large edible mammals; such delicate nerdy things as aquarium plants are below the radar. I recently bought every last java fern in the state, and that was only about 5 plants :wacko:
