Hi everyone. Newbie here.
I've had a brackish water tank for the last five months of so. It's only a 5gal but I decided to move up to a 30 since I want to get some scats and some four-eyed fish (currently I have Knight and neon bridled gobies).
I was wondering, however, if there were any plants that are compatible with a brackish water environment (I don't know how long they would last with the scats, but this has really been bugging me).
I've read that some people can keep Amazon swords, java ferns, or wisteria in brackish water environments, but when I did some research on them, I found that their pH tolerance is only up to 7.5. I have a buffer that keeps my tank at/around an 8.3. My tank salinity stays between 1.01 and 1.012. Are there any live plants that I can put in directly or adapt to this salinity?
Thanks *laughingc
