wanted: plants i can put into my aquarium in ma

Posted by Plant_Queen 6/NE (My Page) on

I have 3 strong rooted cuttings of a raspberry-purple Easter cactus (will fit in a 3 1/2-4 inch pot) to trade for plants I can put into my AQUARIUM that I keep my 3-4inch KOI in. Mostly looking for stonewart, hornwort, micro sword, radican sword, and anubius nana or anything that will NOT harm the fish (they do tend to eat everything they can get in their mouth) or over grow the tank quickly.If you would like to take a look at the plant it is a rooted cutting of the photo shown in the hortiplex plant database on this web sight under the name Hatiora gaertneri but the cuttings are a little smaller than the one in the photo.Thank you for looking.

I have read that it is possible to put ordinary pothos into an aquarium and that it is safe for fish to eat. The fish waste is supposed to feed the pothos. The pothos generally floats, but can be stuck into the bottom material.

Supposedly this also can be done with ordinary spathiphyllum, except they do have to be stuck into the gravel or whatever is at the bottom.

This aroid thing is apparently not a stunt, but something that can be done long-term. There are webpages about this thing which I have seen, but I don't have URLs. Sorry for the late reply, but I ran across this while I was scanning the forum.

There is not much Koi will not eat!!! I hope it is a big aquarium. They don't eat frogbit, but it will grow over the top very fast. Why don't you try the aquatic plant exchange?I have seen somebody offering hornwort, but cant remember if it was at gardenweb or watergardening.com
