This is a thread to share thoughts and discoveries (or experiments) of plants for Supershrimp setup!
We all know that there are limited plants for brackish tanks.
Marimo Moss Ball & Macroalgae being the most common ones.
Wow the answer is already there on the Youtube video, posted a week ago.
the underwater plants are "widgeon grass", scientific name: Ruppia maritima. According to M. Yamamoto, T. Iwai, & A. Tagawa in their book "Hawaiian Anchialine Pools" (2015, Mutual Publishing, Honolulu), widgeon grass is a "flowering plant....(that) occurs worldwide in both freshwater and saltwater....It provides shelter and grazing surfaces for insects, mollusks, 'opae 'ula and other small crustaceans".
There are a number of "grass" looking plants out there that can live close to the ocean under brackish conditions, but I'm not sure if any of them really stay small enough to be practical in a Supershrimp tank. Or if they can actually be completely submersed all the time. I mean...it would look really nice to have grass like plants growing out of a Supershrimp tank, but the question still is if such plants could survive with the low nutrients levels in our tanks. Well..I guess we'll find out once someone tries these grass like plants.
