Hello everyone,

I am having a hard time finding the right kind of plants for my turtle tank. What is best for these turtles and where can I actually find an online vendor that sells live plants. Should I be getting them locally? Are live plants the way to go or should I get some fake ones?
 
Some good live plants would be simple plants that can grow fast and easy, i would recommend Anacharis, Water lettuce, Pothos if you grow it on top of the water, if your turtles munch on them its no big deal, and all are easy to find.
 
Ebay is a good place to locate live water plants if you cant find them locally. For my turtle enclosures I personally use water hyacinth, duck weed, water clovers (Marsilea) and Penny wort to name a few. I would stay way from fake plants if you can and try to find live plants locally. What type of turtle do you have, any photos?
