    Question looking to change to live plants

    I currently have fake plants in a 10 g tank, i have 2 firebelly toads. I am looking for plants that will do better in water then land. I need some ideas. I read all the way back to the first post and i have some good ones, but i am asking which ones have you used that live more in water then land that work well?

    Those will all work. I am guessing by 'bamboo', you mean lucky bamboo, which is a dracaena species and not a bamboo. Alternathera reineckii, which is what I assume you mean by scarlet temple, will grow either submerged, semi emersed or fill emersed, provided there is enough humidity. It tend to lose it's brilliant reds when grown emersed though.

    Bolbitis, crypts (cryptocoryne species), echnidorus (sword plants), ludwigia, rotala, bacopa, lindernia are all genus that can be grown both submerged and emersed. Some stay small, some grow huge. For the most part, they are all relatively easy to grow provided conditions are right.

    That should get you started.

    Sorry to jack the post.

    Can I pull my Ludwigia straight out of my fish tank and half submerge it in about 5 inches of water? Will the unsubmerged half wilt away before it establishes itself anew?

    Is Seachem Flourish safe for fire bellies? How else can I fertilize? Root tabs?
