I love to grow plants emersed (roots in the water, leaves in the air) in the back of my tanks. Because they pull CO2 from the air, they can grow much faster than any submersed plants, out-competing algae and scrubbing nitrates from the tank water. Plus the roots provide cover for fry and the leaves make fish feel more secure, reducing jumping and stress.
I'm always on the lookout for new cool plants that can be grown like this.
Pothos works, but I have so much of it that I need a machete to pruneā¦
