Just a quick interjection, whenever i have to prune the dead leaves off my swords, i just do it with my fingernails. A quick pinch and the leaf comes right off. :3
Choosing plants for my tank
Hi, all!
I want to start using live plants in my tanks because I think that they'd look a lot better than the fake ones that I have in there now. I know that different plants needs different lighting, so I was curious as to which plants would be good for my tank.
I have a 3.5 gallon tank with LED lighting (it has red, green, blue and regular lights.) I usually keep the lights on the setting with all four of them on during the day for about 12-13 hours and I have gravel substrate. I have a Hawkeye Aquarium 180, if that helps (http://www.hawkeyeaquarium.com/prod_details.php?cat=20&p=153)
I was thinking of getting some Anubias for sure, maybe some Java Fern and I was gonna get a Moss ball. Any help/ideas?
P.S: What about trimming the plants? I've been doing mild research, but I haven't learned a thing about it
Thank you for any help!
