Plants for aquarium

[infamouschris7]

I want to decorate my aquariums with live plants but I need to know what to use and what not to use. I don't know much about live plants and would like to get more info on which are the best and what to stay away from. It's for my pacmans and pixie frog

Pathos and Bromeliads are the only ones you would want to use for Pacman Frogs due to the digging everything up when they burrow. You still want to make sure they don't accidentally eat any part of the plants and keep dead leaves removed immediately as they're seen.

Ficus pumila, Tradescantia zebrina and Dracaena sanderiana are nice choices as well, which would work fine with these frogs. The first two plants can be potted at the top of the enclosure. They make great hanging plant.

Give him a dedicated spot, and they usually leave stuff alone. And leave the path in front of his mouth clear.

I thought Ficus were toxic?

Every plant is less than optimal to digest, so unless they're very dangerous to the touch, they're pretty harmless if you ask me (whwn used with common sense). It's all about making the frog not eating it. For example, pothos is toxic, and yet it's by far the most common frog-plant. However, this have been discussed in several other threads already.

Yeah, I try to stick with what I know. A lot of people want to use Creeping Fig too which is to be cautioned the same.
