So Java Fern can still grow in 1.010 gravity?

Any suggestions what to attach it to for a 3 gallon mini tank?

Maybe a rock or something? I'm afraid to puts rocks in my aquarium though ....
 
i forgot to add to my sig that i have a few clumps of micro sword that is doin good too.

java fern is pretty knarly, and im tempted to push my SG a little higher for s#$%s and giggles, but i dig my set up too much.

my banna plant lost all its leaves and stalks at first, then sprouted 4 new ones that are still growing
neat.

hornwort died pretty quick, and it was like having hundreds of soggy pine needles in my tank.
$37 in new filter media.

i tried onin plants as well, but they just kinda deterriated after a week or so and my monos and mollies tore it up.

thanks for all the tips and lists and stuff,i especially like the alge ball idea those thigs are ugly, but exactally what is a protist?

donate a little knowledge to the help a hippe fund and holla back.

I don't keep much it only serves as Scat food.

There's always a lettuce leaf in my scat tank, they definently prefer that to the plants, worth considering if you'd like things to be safe from these little aquatic lawnmowers.

whatever that seagrass is that grows with the mangroves... that could be a brachish plant... id just collect some plants from the mouth of a river next time that you visit florida...
Seagrasses are protected by law. So are the mangroves. Probably die anyway — it needs a rich, very fine sediment substrate and sand will not do.
 
ahh yea... the law... um about that...

:joke: yea your right, i need to pay attention to those KEEP OFF THE DUNE GRASS signs! ~ im just ignorant... dont collect these plants if they are protected!
