I have my discus tank at 86 and its planted with a bunch of crypt varieties (balansae, retrospiralis, spiralis, wendtii, and tropica) as well as HM, anubias (frazieri, coffefolia, and nana). I have had hygros (sunset, willow) take over. also, limnophila sessiflora (ambulia) did very very well, so well that I ended up removing it entirely from teh tank. I have not had good luck with mosses but my java ferns are holding on in the tank. I also have sagittaria subulata which is doing really well in that tank.
Need plants for 86 Degree Tank, Ideas?

How about giving a better reply? I'm in the same boat (elevated summer temps, not by choice), and both of us could benefit from your expertise.

P.S., jinkzd, pinkertd and others, thanks for the writeup. My wife likes crypts, and we'll get some.
No personal experience with such temperatures, but here is a plant sales site with a section with heat tolerant plants. It would at least give some ideas as to what would grow.
