fish preferences?

[hendrixpujols11]

Do certain fish prefer certain plants? If so, what kind of plant would an african dwarf frog like?

I have some wisteria, ludwigia, and bacopa floating in my 55 right now, and I've seen both of my adfs floating in the tangle its made.

but i would have one or two in a three gallon...so i dont think I could have that much.

One or two what? Watersprite, java moss, java fern, or anubias should do well and give the frogs something to explore. On second thought ditch the moss, because if the frog gets their leg caught in it and can't get to the top for air it's bye bye froggy.

 

[hendrixpujols11]

one or two ADFs. I'm new to planting....Ive always just had synthetic. How much extra work is it?

 

[Sammie7]

If you have low lighting, which I am guessing you do, you could just get some low-light and slow growing plants. They wouldn't really need any extra fertilizer and they wouldn't need to be pruned often. The plants I mention should do well.

 

[hendrixpujols11]

how much of each?

 

[Sammie7]

As many as you want or can fit comfortably. I don't know your specific tank size and measurements, so I couldn't really teall you.

 

[hendrixpujols11]

its a 3 gallon...I guess this is different from sotcking tanks with fish. You can just fit in as much as you want?

 

[Sammie7]

Yeah, that sounds about right. The plants I listed are slow growers, excluding watersprite, and shouldn't need that many nutrients, especially when you don't have that much light. Just go with your instinct. The more plants the better, especially when starting a new tank, you should plant heavily.
