how many of you keep live plants in your African tanks?
i have a few bunches of java fern in my tang set up and must say that it does add a nice touch.
i know thay dont feature in the biotopes of lake tang and many lakes,but are their people who wont have them in their tanks because of this?
 
Java fern worked fine for me, it's one the only plants that will hold up against cichlids and hard water. You can also try java fern, anubias, and I think spiral vals may work.
 
i tried amazons in my old cichlid tank and i can tell you the fish loved em. i could tell because they just wouldnt stop digging them up and ripping them to pieces. i had no luck with plants but i have a couple of friends who have. and i must say they do add a very nice touch to the tank and fish.
