Live plants for Pacman

[paul3col]

I have done a search on here but can't find too much info. Does anyone have live plants in with there Pacman?

Read a couple of threads on big frogs and plants. The plants get trampled over usually. Maybe, could try non-toxic plants in pots. That way they can easily be moved when cleaning enclosure and the frog won't get sick if accidentally ingest a plant piece while doing froggy things .

I like live plants I think that it will benefit my frog tremendously. But with that said I do have 2" net pots that I put plants in then bury pots into coir.

I am still new to this hobby so I have yet to find roots growing, but I am pretty sure that I can trim the roots back without any harm to plant. Good luck

Cheers guys, they would make a nice addition to his home. I would use pots as like mentioned the roots would need to be kept under control. I am going to contact a supplier i use on the internet and see what he sells to other Pacman keepers.

Pothos works well for pac's, they tolerate being uprooted and trampled quite well. Also grow very well in a pacman viv's climate

Don't think that putting them in pots will stop your frog if s/he really wants to dig the plants up. I can't find it, but a member on here posted pictures of a pacman that managed to squeeze into a small pot! They are very determined creatures!

I have Golden Pothos in my pacman's tank. I have not had any problems between my frog and the plant. Grows really well and can take a beating. I do not recommend pots to dangerous. Also make sure your plants are flushed before planting in the tank.

Will the Pothos mind being uprooted when its time for a substrate change?

[aGreenCup]

The Pothos I have is a very hardy plant. Its almost been in the tank for 10 months, since then I replaced substrate three times and trimmed it. I have had enough growth within this time to fill another tank quite nicely.

Pothos ordered, thanks for the advice guys.
