I just set up a small 2 gal. brackish tank (1.008 SG) in an attempt to breed olive nerite snails. I was hoping to put a small plant in there that will survive in the brackish water and LED light that comes with the Fluval Nano set up. Will any of the anubias work? If not, what will?
Brackish Plants

Java-fern,Water sprite(Ceratopteris thalictroides),Vallisneria gigantea,and Onion plant(Crinum Thaianum),have all done well for me in the past when I had my brackish tanks.
Any of the plants mentioned above, and plastic plants work just as well. Once you go past an SG of 1.005 you won't find many plants tolerant of strong brackish water, barring mangroves and certain marginal grasses/reeds.
