Hi,
I would like some advice regarding the use of plants that need substrate in a bare bottom tank.
I bought some potted plants before and they came in little plastic pots with lots of holes (I still have those) and the roots were wrapped in something that reminded me of rockwool. Can they grow from this in the long term? And where would I get this material?
I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the use of potted plants.
I had some dishes with substrate in my tanks before but they seemed to trap too much dirt even though I rinsed them quite often.
Another question (which has been asked before... I know):
Which plants will live, if not grow well in low light conditions?
I have java fern & moss and have just seen that some people recommended anubias (which need substrate (?) - so back to question 1).
Any other plants? I don't really want floating ones.
Many thanks for reading this and helping me out.
The tank is a 60l with 15W tube.
