potted submerged plants...
Someone wrote to me a while ago, that he keeps potted swords in his Discus
tank. I can't find the message any more. I am setting up a new tank for my
clown loaches, which will soon outgrow their 10-gal. They have been very
gentle with the plants in the 10-gal., but I think as they grow, this will
not be the case. But...I definitely want live plants in their tank! I
thought swords would be large enough to be of little interest to the clowns,
and I also thought I would try the idea of potting them in clay pots, each
pot having a layer of gravel in the bottom, some soil mixture (any
suggestions as to the mixture?) and a shallow layer of gravel on top. This
may prevent them from being pulled up or otherwise mauled by the growing
clowns.
Thanks.
