Who Gives A Fish Forums

Another tip: if you're adding new plants, do it during a water change when the fish are a bit stressed. They might not notice the plants as much.

I've got a mix of Anubias and Vallisneria in my cichlid tank. The Vallisneria grows like crazy, even with the fish nibbling on it. Just gotta make sure the roots are buried deep.

Yep, you're good. HOBs are underrated. I've got one on my 55 with Angels and it's been running smooth for ages. Just don't skip maintenance and you'll be fine.

I've had luck with Marsilea Hirsuta. It's low maintenance and grows slow, which I kinda prefer. No CO2 needed.
