What plants are safe for Pacman Frogs?

Woops Thanks for bringing that up! I did a little better digging and the forum I got that information from is wrong, dandelions (while yes, they can 'take over' if your tank is zoo sized and you don't see the super obvious flowers about to go to seed) are actually beneficial, they fertilize plants and aerate the soil outside, shouldn't smother anymore than any similarly sized plant would. The only issue I can find anywhere is that root length, but maybe they could be planted into the wall of smaller tanks to give the roots more space? Pretty things get so much hate!



..Good for me because I've got about ten dandelion sprouts about to be planted.

Good luck with your tank! Hopefully you can find something good.

Hey, one more thing besides the root size: they're full sun plants. You might do better with tropicals accustomed to living in the understory in forests. You might try violets, though, either regular or African violets. I've seen lots of African violets growing underneath UV lights.
Ajuga reptans is another low-growing plant that tolerates shade so probably would tolerate a tank. It might not do too well in standing-water situations though.

I had some purple striped transcendentia that didn't make it possibly because there wasn't enough light. They got pale and thin before dying, so be aware that sometimes plants with colored leaves may need more sun. http://img01.elicriso.it/it/come_col...ia_zebrina.jpg

I have pathos rooted directly into the eco earth, and since my PAC generally sits in one spot, the roots kinda grew around the hole she sits in, it's kinda cool.
