Hi all,

I have quite a comprehensive planting list for my South American Discus tank, but can't find anything that would be good to tie to my wood as a small "feature" plant. Any ideas?

I already have HC Cuba growing as a carpet, I was thinking something like Java fern perhaps, but South American :-?

Cheers :fish:

java ferns would work or java moss

I agree, it is the plant I'd like...but it's not from South America

 

[brandon O]

i don;t think tht would really matter to much

Christmas moss is native to South America and grows well. Aquabid and ebay should have some.

Thanks Kuni, not sure if that's what I'm after :-?

I picked up some Anubias Nana today whilst shopping for bits for a 20l planted tank I have started as a "desk" project.

That's the sort of thing I am looking for for the 240l tank...in fact it might just end up in there anyway as plans are changing for that tank now

Well, there aren't any wood-growing plants from SA in the hobby right now. Southeast Asia has Java fern, and Africa has Bolbitis+Anubias, but that's about it. Aquatic mosses are found worldwide, though - you just have to pick the right species.

Having put one Anubis Nana in my Nano tank I decided the other would just have to go in the 240l :roll: It really is a great looking leaf, and will suit teh shady location in the hollow of my log :thumb:
