What are some good freshwater aquarium plants?
You may want to read the link at the bottom of the page…. The plant in the back of your tank does not look aquatic. It looks like one of those ones for terrariums sold at petco in the tubes. It will slowly die over about a 2 month period as its only semi-aquatic. Java fern, Java Moss are both fine for cold water and low light. My favorite low wattage plant is Hydrophila deforma, also known as water wisteria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Wiste… Another good plant is apontogen, which can often be grown from seeds (even cheap wal-mart ones). Most fish don’t like the taste of it. http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Decor%20Apon… I don’t know if apontogen or wisteria work at lower temperatures though. The java moss & ferns do though. Edit: 5 months is awesome for one of those things. The ribbon plant probably isn’t dying because its colder
