| Hello am wondering if anyone could suggest some species of aquarium plants for a strictly pleco tank, all of them are BN's and two are Clowns. I currently have a two baby amazon swords and a small cabomba, but have a little extra funds just especially put aside for them and would like to give them a planted oasis! Any suggestions would be appreciated, comments and no-no plants for plecos too please. | |

| they are all fine. Bristlenose do not eat plants like other plecos.
I had blue stricta, java fern, swords, moss, lotus, val, HC, hair grass and a few others in my planted tank. though, for some of those you are looking at high light and even CO2 injection | |

| Hi,I have anubias they are very hardy and easy and grow lovely all on their own.I attach mine to wood with an elastic band or two until they have a real good hold. | |

| I appreciate it Bristlenoses, I was wondering about anubias, but wasn't sure if they'd be good for Bn's or not. Thank you! | |
