Hi All,
I have a very much low-tech aquarium (first tank and I'm pretty much a newbie!). The aquarium itself is a hexagonal shaped 60litre aquarium. It's a very deep/tall aquarium and I am looking for some help in choosing some plants that (1) are easy to maintain and (2) would grow reasonably tall. The tank is up and running over 1.5 years now.
When I first got the tank I was unaware about substrates, etc so I just have basic gravel in there (about 2cm). I added more gravel in recent months and left the light on more and I notice the plants are doing better (maybe this is just a coincidence?!). I have Java Fern Windev (sorry not 100% if that is correct name) and another plant which is doing quite well. I am going to attach the Java Fern to some Bogwood later this week.
Is there any other basic steps I could take to help the plants thrive more and what plants would look well planted in the background of the tank that are easy to grow?
Cheers in advance
