I've had a lot of luck with water wisteria in the past, it grows very quickly as well if you want to add some additional foliage to your aquarium. Not sure what your lighting is but standard aquarium lighting should grow all of the above. If you do decide to get additional plants beside the ones listed I would do a thorough google search on that plant because a LOT of plants sold at PetCo/PetSmart are NOT true aquatic plants and will rot.. die.. make your nitrates worse.

Make sure your lid is secure and you should be back in business.
Hi, I didnt get the duckweed as I couldnt find it. I have wisteria in there and it seems to be doing well. I also got 2 moss balls. The real ones, not the styrofoam **** ones. They are about 2 inches across. I want to get more of them. They say they are nitrate inhalers. I vacuumed a bit before I put him in there and probably replaced about 8 gallons of water. the nitrates are still in the vicinity of 40. Some other frog people said that 40 was ok so hoping it really is.

So far he isnt doing much. He must be freaked out by the car ride in a plastic bag.

Oh the lid is secure now. I checked uber carefully.

Thank you!
