origin6 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 i have had success with java fern, i have also been told that anubias and swords are usable altho they will get a little beat up and nipped, and that its best to plant out your tank first then add the fish as they wont take much notice to them that way. i am no expert but thought i would tell you the little i know.... what plants are you looking at getting?

tutters187 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Definitely go with Java Fern, Java Moss and Anubias, I'm not a plant person but I think swords are touchy and just about everything else will be shredded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasman Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 agreed - I have java fern with some mbuna and its fine. Heck I even have java fern in with some goldfish and its surviving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthom211 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I think the important thing is to establish the plants first, or pot them up and place rocks around the base. I'm setting up a planted tank for peacocks soon but I think you will have trouble with mbuna as they eat plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
