Cold water plants

seedy · May 2nd, 2008

Hi everyone
Im looking for suggetions for suitable Cold water ( 55-65' F ) plants to fill the back corners of my axolotl tank. They also need to be tall ( hide UGF tubes )low light and fairly robust as the axolotls will more than likely climb / crawl all over them. If it helps , I have a variety of hair grass in the tank thats doing ok .
All ideas welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for the list and link.
I have not gone through it all yet , but the Elodea looks like the fake plants I'm trying to replace so I might try finding some of it.
