What are good plants to have with angelfish? I have a few swords now but would like a variety of medium to tallish plants throughout the tank.
Will eventually be filled out with some foreground and medium plants. Will also have a cul-de-sac space incorporated. Just hope the tank turns out as well as the vision. :)
Trying to get it scaped prior to their arrival.
Thx

I hope your vision includes some type of broad leafed Anubias. Mine love to lay eggs on them.
Angelfish are happy with most any type of plant that I'm aware of.

Anything goes with them as they don't eat plants, but they do prefer broad leaf plants to spawn on. You have swords for that, so any plants that your setup will support (light, CO2, nutrients, etc.) It's really what you like. Go to one of the plant sites and find plants that you like.

I could be limited here as I do not have presurized Co2 which would be necessary for this sized tank. I'll do some more poking around.

Anubias are a low light plant which you anchor to wood or decoration. They would not require co2 so would be suitable for your setup.

Angels do love tall grassy plants like vallisneria and crypt spiralis to retreat to.

Well, my angels are constantly grazing on the java moss/anacharis/hornwort in a 29g...

They're probably after something they *hope* is in there more than they're after the plants - or they're just doing a little house cleaning.

The are picking at particles on the plants, but not the plants.
