Live plants in a Fw aquarium?

[RedneckDaveAb]

We have live plants in most of our aquariums and with the right lighting they are awesome!

We grow Vals, anubias, java fern, java moss, najas grass, amazon swords, lotus plants, wisteria and hygrophila.

You could save a few dollars if you purchase a two bulb shop light from your local hardware store and hang it over your aquarium. Be sure to use "plant" light bulbs. However, if you can afford high intensity lighting that is best.

Be sure your fish are compatible with your plants. Cichlids and goldfish will quickly consume your new purchases
