Stop Plants From Floating

[welshboy]

Hi' how do you stop fish from disturbing your plants and making them float to the top Thanks.Mark

i put rocks around the base until the roots grow good and strong. either that, or get ones that can grow floating. dont keep the lead weights on the plants..lead=bad (there is no "safe" lead. period). or get some species that you can tie down to stuff (like java fern or annubias). just another thought.
cheers

I've read some wrap-around weights aren't made of lead. I'm not sure.
Some fish will always harass plants, even if they are well rooted.

tie the plant to a plastic ball or tie it around a medium sized rock, then plant it, it shouldnt float again if the fish uproot it. and this allows for root groth.
