what plants can I have in this tank

[john6]

I have just been given this tank by my neice who doesn't want it, Aquael Leddy 60 Day and Night Aquarium - Black
Apart from epiphytes, what other plants would be suitable to grow with just the light what came with it and no co2 injection?

Anything easy from the Tropica range, I would have thought.

There's some good eBay stores too, I recommend K2 aqua. Had good experiences myself 👍

Ps. It also depends on your water - some plants love soft water, whilst others prefer hard. There's some good threads on it depending on what you have 🙂

My water is liquid rock, It's just a tank my niece didn't want so may as well put it to some use, so looking at basically just plant and leave really, so will probably just get a piece of wood and a couple of rocks and stick some Anubias and Ferns and Moss to them.

Yeah love a bit of mossy wood 🙂 I have weeping, Christmas, riccia and java moss (all from k2aqua), anubias, Bolbitis and a few diff java ferns. Personally I love them and they grow well for me, I've got really soft water though

liquid rock

Hornwort, and some crypts (many are low light), though crypts in my experience really need a rich substrate, however, Hornwort likes a fair amount of light, (the tank comes with I suspect a 10 watt LED, not a lot, but the tank is shallow) but then it does grow to the surface and across so the light doesn't have to have much of a punch. I have had Vallis do well also in very hard water but with a fair amount of light. Good luck.
