pride Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hello, I am wanting to add some anubias and java fern to a tank which I keep a little salt in, 1 tea spoon to every 10l. Will the salt be a problem for these plants? If so are their any other plants that could tolerate this that are also low light type plants?

Eaglebarret Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 No the salt should not be a problem, i have both those plants in a tank that i add salt to all the time and they are growing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Thanks Dave, Now my only obstacle is will my fish accept them or destroy them. Won't know until I give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I think your fish will not be a problem i have them in with African cichlids and they don't touch them. I find that you will need to put rock around the roots and stem of the plant so they dont get uprooted though. Good luck with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I added the plants and at the same time rearranged the decor and yep I don't like my handywork . Don't you hate that. I'll let it stay as is for a few weeks and see if it "grows" on me . I also added some giant val which may be the spoiler?? Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoTheRainz Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 stay away far from salt in plant tank. when salt added the plant root will stop take nutrient so u might face algea wost nightmare or plant will deteriating. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerospel Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Are you adding salt for brackish water? If you are,seachem makes a product to create that brackish water and is plant friendly so it says, but is a more expensive option and if u have large tank it wont be worth it. What cichlids have u got? I had anubias with malawis and it turned the anubias into a horrible looking piece of plant and all the new leaves that grew didnt stand a chance, even my kribs eats my baby anubias leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
