Hi all,
I have a 75 gallon tank with very hard water GH 200mg/l KH 125mg/l PH 8-8.5 I know this isnt exactly the ideal plant environment but was wondering if you could recommend some hardier plants. I have had some success with java ferns on Tufa rock and bogwood but they tend to fade away and die after 4-6 months. |

I keep plants in this with aragonite sand. (my african cichlids) Amazon
swords will grow....albeit slowly, but they will grow. Valisneria seems to do well, (I believe it can strip carbonate from the water...instead of using CO2). The stem plants I have...cant remember what they are..seem to also do well. Mines a 55 with ph of 8.3. The Zebras, Afras, and Labs dont tear up the plants TOOO much...but they do dig an awful lot.
