I have set up a 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank on my back porch for some southern South American cichlids (Cichlasoma sp.), as well as some Florida native killifish and mosquitofish. I would like to add some floating plants to give the fish some cover and help absorb nitrates.
My stock tank sits on my back porch which is covered. The porch gets indirect sunlight all day but no direct sunlight. I am looking for suggestions on floating plants that can live in indirect sunlight. I don’t necessarily need them to flower, I just don’t want them to die. They’re more for functional use than aesthetic purposes.
Any recommendations would be great. I live in a hardiness zone 8 or 9, if that matters. It’s central Florida so we very rarely get temperatures below 30F and never for extended periods. It’s mostly just hot and humid for 8 months out of the year.
