Brackish Paladrium
I'm setting up a 40 gallon tank to house a few mudskippers and some other
brackish critters. I'm using beach sand for a substrate and my salinity
will run about 20% that of sea water (1.004?). I'd be grateful if any of
you folks could tell me what plants would do well in this setup, both
emersed and non-emersed. I seem to recall that Java fern will do OK, if
anyone could confirm that. Also, a pamphlet at my pet store said that
crypts could grow out of the water (that's emersed, right?), if planted
along the sand-water boundary, but that sounds far fetched to me. Can
anyone verify this? Thanks,
