I have already been told that the plants in this tank are not truly submersible plants and I respect your opinions, BUT I took the plants out of the tank while I was cleaning it, and just during that time they began to look horrible. The only thought I had was that they were meant to be submersed so I re-submersed them in a bucket and added a very little bit of miracle grow. They perked back up within 30 minutes. So, obviously now my opinion is that they will survive just fine underwater but

only time will tell.
