Are money plants ok for aquariums ?

[Shark on krak]

Hi, so I have a 125 gallon aquarium and I was wondering if I could put some large money plants inside it. However idk if it is harmful to the fish.

Might need to give a Latin name for what you are calling a money plant. The one I know of is a succulent that can grow the size of a small tree but would not be suited to having its roots in water to my knowledge.

I believe the OP is referring to pothos/devils ivy.



If so,yes pothos is perfectly safe.However submerged leaves start to rot.

That's not what we call in our parts a / the money tree / money plant.

That’s the one I know.
They grow in swamps so should do well in water, assuming it isn’t fully submerged.

Pilea Peperomioides, "Chinese Money Plant" is what I thought of.

I've never seen that one before,it looks nice.The plant that Victor posted is what I know of and suspect that Shark is referring to.I see them pretty often in restaurants, half submerged in water.

They are not common. Once established they put out baby adventius plants to the nth degree.

This is the money plant I know of and am sure they don’t mean this one, hence my suggestion of Latin name.

Lovely plant matter talk. The OP is MIA.
