nice article wyldfya, what methods have you used for anchoring the plants. i've used the bottoms of plastic bottles, and tied plants to drift wood or slate w/ string. the plants come out of the bottles and the strings break in less than a week. i'm sure the 14" pacu dartin' around doens't help either. any suggestions, or no plants for the pacu.
I could use some help setting up a planted aquarium

For big cichlids and characins I'd just stick to well mounted plants to wood and rocks. A few plants like amazons that send HUGE root systems out will also work very well.
any special technique for mounting them to the rocks and drift wood, as i said, i have no luck using string, open for any ideas.
i couldn't get rid of him, although i just bought a 100 gal rubbermaid tub, and i'm in the process of finishing up a 50 gal. sump and a wet/dry filter. he gets no plants untill i build his big tank, but thanks for the website.
