What Plants With Anubias Nana

[tgo]

hi, just added a single anubias nana to the cycling 10 gallon tank (1 week). I heard they are good for cycling with fish (2 zebra danios). Is it too early to add one more to the tank if it helps keep the ammonia low for the fish? Which other type of hardy plant would be good in the same light conditions as the anubias? I understand it needs low to moderate light, any other suggestions? Thanks!

I'd add as few fish as possible when cycling, Truly you should try without fish adding ammonia your self, Either through Crushed food and letting it rot or buying some.

As for plants, I believe Hornwort would be good, it's very fast growing and produces lots of oxygen so I'd imagine the growing speed helps with water quality.
Make sure you water change everyday

Thanks, I would have done a fishless cycle but I came across this information late, oh well I am testing and changing water often. I rsearched and saw that fish-in cycles were the way to do it, just slowly and with hardy species. I guess what I am doing is kinda taboo around here, but I do care alot for fish.

I should change it every day, like 10-15%?

I will take a look at adding one or two more if it helps oxygen levels more.
