brackish water plants

Post by holyshrimp »

I really like the fresh light green color of Caulerpa Prolifera, but it died within two weeks in my tank...

Now I replaced it with hornwort, and it's supposed to be hardy enough to tolerant brackish water. Anyone has experience with plants other than hair algae and marimo?

Thanks!

This article will tell you all you need to know:

A search for "plants" in the forum will also give you lots of topics to read through. In short...don't listen to friendly advice that "X plant can live in brackish water." They won't, including the marimo ball. Take out that hornwort if it isn't dead and disintegrated already.
