Costco! Really?i was thinking about just putting a Anubias nana - a slow growing plant that i saw at Costco and just removing the dirt and rinsing it off really good then putting it in the tank dumb idea?
Costco! Really?
Anubias nana is a nice plant. I have several types of ferns attached to rock and driftwood and my castle. I just use gravel and plant tabs for my rooted plants like African Swords, soil wears out after a year or two. Then there are plants like Anacharis and water sprite that like ferns absorb what they need from the water and I feed them with flourish comp.i was thinking about just putting a Anubias nana - a slow growing plant that i saw at Costco and just removing the dirt and rinsing it off really good then putting it in the tank dumb idea?
Crayfish will eat all of plant in the tank too.You need some plants in the tanks. Crayfish like plant matter in their diet and the tetras and gourami will feel more secure and show better colours with plants in their tank.
Water Sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides/ cornuta) is a floating plant that can also be planted in the substrate. If it grows too much on the surface of the tetra tank, plant some in the crayfish tank and let him eat it.

With your crayfish I would have floating plants like the anacharis you can also "plant" it and it grows fast and is cheap. Try a fern like java fern attached on top of the cave and on the driftwood. I would take it slow with the plants to see what the crayfish do.The crayfish I had was like a bulldozer after awhile. I had plastic plants back then so him eating them was not an issue but he liked to push everything around so my tank changed everyday except for the cave of rocks I had made for him on one end of the tank. Like @Colin_T mentioned crayfish do eat plants, I am not sure which ones crayfish prefer. Plants are also important for fish. Hopefully there will be plants that the crayfish will leave alone.
