Favorite live plants?

My tanks are full of elodea because it’s easy to find, grows super fast and can be broken up into new strands that grow easy. I’m lucky to have a pond that I can throw plants into and then harvest way more from later. :joy:

These are great questions!

My favorite fast growing plant id say is the elodea, they grow quickly in tall strands, and if you want to propgate this plant, you just cut the top off and plant it. Im planning on buying some of these to make an elodea forest :joy: theyre very similar to hornworts, but unlike hornworts, they do not release chemicals into the water that slow the rest of your plants growth (or so im told).

As for easy plants, id definitely reccomend anubias plants. There are many different subspecies and hybrids, so they can come in almost any size, depending on what you buy. Theyve got nice leaves, and theyre very hardy. The only downside is their slow growth. I have 3 subspecies in my tanks already, and theyre awesome.

Good luck with your plant search, i hope this helped!

Here is my list of easy plants I like:

Anubias, bucephalandra, ludwigia repens, guppy grass, amazon swords, java fern, bacopa, cabomba, water wisterias, dwarf water lettuce, crypts, most types of moss and marimo moss ball

Most of these are fast growing except for anubias, water lettuce, bucephalandra, and Java ferns.
