looking for climbing and vining plant suggetions

[chellabella]

I would love some suggestiOns for plants that will climb the walls of the tank along with around my fake vines. I'm also looking for plants to put In and around my water feature?

Pothos are good tough climbers .

Depends on conditions, design taste and budget. As Carlos stated, pothos are strong climbers, as are the vining philodendrons. There are many aroids that will climb. Some peperomias will climb or trail (depending on planting location) such as Peperomia Glauca and Peperomia prostrata. Many dischidia species and Hoya species will climb/trail. Then there are the cissus family, which will also climb. Rhaphidophora species are nice climbing aroids, and some, like R. pachyphyllum are nice little shingling plants. I could go on and on and I haven't even gotten to the climbing ferns yet lol

As far as aquatics, a lot depends on depth of the water, as well as humidity. Many aquatics will grow marginally, but require high humidity. Lighting is also a factor for aquatics. A good light is crucial to penetrate water, even shallow water. Another factor for aquatics is substrate. Some are heavy root feeders and if planted in say, aquarium gravel, will require some sort of supplemental fertilizers, like root tabs. For a shallow water (4" or less), I would recommend any of the cryptocoryne species. They grow large, some to over a foot, so they would grow up and out of the water. Anubias and the java ferns are also excellent candidates. All these require humidity in the mid to high 80's on up.

I know I kind of rambled, but I hope I was able to help a little bit.

So I just ordered a 10 pack of foliage plants and pilea "baby tears." from Josh's frogs along with anubias barteri "Nana" from substrate source on Amazon. I also bought an exco terra mini fogger as well. I am super excited! And one more question does tree fern panels really randomly have plants grow from it?

Good deal! I guess anything is possible, but I have never had anything randomly grow from tree fern panels.

As bill suggested, Cissus sp. are great vines that becomes rampant once established so a good pruning maybe required at times. My personal favorite is Cissus discolor as they can be trained to trail & twine easily. Ficus pimula is also a common but a woody vine that's easy to grow once the right conditions are met. Syngonium sp. can be planted marginally in water then allowed to creep as a vine. If you want something that would cause some random plant growth inside your tank then i suggest finding Peperomia pellucida. They normally grow as a low trailing plant that sometimes stems upright up to 8" and quickly produces seeds. You can manually gather the seeds and sprinkle them all over the tank
