Question
Hi Nathan I am wondering what kind of plants would be suitable for my 5 gallon tank? It's an eclipse marineland tank. All i need is a list of compatible plants that are good for beginneres

Answer
Hi John,

There are many plants that can thrive in a small tank with beginner experience.

-Java Fern
-Hygrophila Polysperma (Hygro)
-Wisteria
-Green Cabomba
-Java Moss
-Anubias

Just to name a few. You might also want to pick up a fertilizer to add, just to promote growth and color of your plants. A good fertilizer is Seachem's Flourish fertilizer.

Good Luck, and Happy Fishkeeping!
