    Default Hi everyone

    Hi my is June Wilshusen, You can call Me JuneBug. I am new here, but you know that. I do have 10 African Dwarf Frogs that I just love. They share a 10 gallon tank with 10 ghost shrimp and one bushy nose plocostumus. I can set and watch them all day long, they are fun. I have had them for about 3 months now. Two out of ten are males. So I guess I have 8 females and 2 males. I do have some live plants in the tank with them but they are not very tall for them to rest on to be at the surface of the water. They do dart a lot to the top for a bubble of air. Can anybody tell me ehat kind of live plants would work for these guys and my ghost shrimp too?

    Welcome aboard. Floating plants like water lettuce might work well for them.

    I don't think that is what I want. These frogs oare not pond frogs they are aquatic Frogs that live in water at all times. I need aquarium plants.

    Welcome to Frogforum June. Kurt knows about these frogs but he was interpreting your original request as meaning you wanted surface plants, and water lettuce is exactly that kind of plant.

    I think the problem is that you need mature aquarium plants so you can see how tall they are, and then decide. I would suggest visiting your local aquarium store to get a sense of what size you're looking for and what is pleasing to you.

    You can try Java moss it will grow fast. It will attach itself to almost any surface and it can be used as a floating plant as well.
    There is an awesome aquatic plant store in Whitman, MA called Paradise Gardens. They have greenhouses of aquatic plants.

    A really good plant to try is called Elodea, you may even find it for sale under it's genus name Anacharis. It can either be grown planted in the substrate or just allowed to float.
