coldwater plants

[savo318]

can anyone tell me of any plants that will survive in coldwater, i was looking mostly at java ferns and java moss because the goldfish wont be so inclined to eat it

Don't forget crypts and anubias. They will do well in cold water, and are thick enough so that they won't be eatened.

If you haven't seen the plantfinder at APC, then here's a link http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/index.php

This might help narrow down your search.

I have had plenty of success with my Amazon Sword in 68F water. It reproduced many baby plants. But I assume goldfish will eat it. In fact I don't know if even java fern will be safe. But eating plants isn't a bad thing.
