Floating plants are good, as well as "easy" plants like anubia, java fern, and plants like water sprite. I really don't care for plants that require their roots to be buried in substrate. I don't like plants in pots either. Plants that are growing on the water's surface, or on driftwood, with only a thin layer of sand looks fine, and is much easier to keep clean.

I agree with a darrell, it is dificult to keep a tank clean with rooted plants. I just purchased some tank planters from www.ripariumsupply.com I found them a couple years ago from a thread on SD. they have been sitting in the aquarium stand for a couple months. I planted one a couple weeks ago it seems to be working well so far. -lane

I really go for Anubias and Java Ferns on DW.
For a change of pace, and great color, I also love Red and Tiger Lotuses.

I hope no one minds me tapping in on this thread. I've also got a 55. What stem plants work well in a planted discus tank? I've got loads and loads of green cabomba, as well as a vast mat of chain swords. Don't have the discus yet. Just wondering if those plants can stand the high temp.

[discuspaul]

The swords certainly will. I'm quite sure the Cabomba will too, but it'll probably tend to 'shred up' more in the higher temp - man, I hate it when those little leaves get in & clog up the filters.
Crypts are good, as well as Ludwigia, any Hygros, Rotala, Bacopa, Aponogetons, and the Lotuses, among others.

Thanks. I have swords, anubias, ludwigia, and lotuses among the cabomba.
