    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello,
Im starting up a new dartfrog tank for my leucs and i want to incoporate a water feature to it. The idea is to have a small pool of water where i will grow some water plants, and hopefully grow some java moss on the wood that has the water cascading down it. Does anyone have any input on good plants that will grow in the water or in a saturated environment like java moss? thank you for you input
 
Check with a local fish store. It would be best if you found one that does strictly aquatic, that way you'd have the best luck.

I have multiple fish tanks and a newt tank. All have live plants that grow in straight water.
Just my little input.
 
There are a lot of options for you, especially if you can maintain a high humidity. A lot of "aquatic" plants in the aquarium trade will grow semi-submerged or emersed of the humidity is high enough. Here's a partial list....

Anubias (many species, coffeefolia pretty common), Echinodorus (amazon sword, may cultivars), Cryptocoryne (again, many species, wendti pretty common), Bacopa (seems to need high light, though), ferns (depends on species), Java moss, and Java fern.

There are a bunch of aquatic plant sites you can search for more ideas....Cryptocorynes are easiest if your light levels are low, java moss is pretty indestructible (alhtough I have managed to kill it...), Anubias can be slow growing (so lower maintenance), and Echinodorus likes mid to high light levels....

Hope this gives you some ideas. How did your background turn out?
