What Are Some Good Live Plants

[animals970]

Hi, I was wondering, what are some good plants to keep with mollies and guppies? Can you keep live plants in gravel? and please can you tell me how to take care of them.

yes you can keep them in gravel and pretty much any plant will be good as far as i know but im sure someone will come along and say this works with this and so on

No you don't need sand. Do you have a low light setup?

 

[animals970]

what do you mean low light.

 

[RyanV]

There are all kinds of plants and some need more light than others. Normally 1watt per gallon of water = low light, 2w per gallon = med light, 3w per gallon = high light.

I'm going to go ahead and assume you have a low light in which case, anubias, java fern, and crypts and grow the best.
