What's the best specie of plants to grow in tanks?

    I'm looking for the best species of plants that I'm going to grow in my fish tank. I already have Echinodorus grisebachii and Hygrophila difformis.


    Which one's would you recommend?

    I think it honestly depends on how big is your tank, what are your lighting requirements/that you have, and also are you looking for some more background coverage plants that match yours already? Do you have any decorations that you are trying to place plants around with?

    I would start by deciding on the size of tank you want and figuring out what fish you plan on stocking it with.


    Do you plan on adding other fish to what you already have? What size tank do you currently have and do you intend on sizing up or down?

    I love baccopa it grows wild in a pond on my property.. was first and favorite plant in my tanks!

    It really depends on the size of your tank and how much time you have to put in to take care of a plant. I know that Java Moss is one of the easiest to take care of and grow and is great for beginners who are just starting out growing plants in a tank. This is great as a foreground plant in the aquarium.
