Ok i have a 70 gal rubbermaid heavy duty bin that i am going to set up out side with Belonesox Belizanus. I am going to use guppies as live feeders. I am going to make this a planted bin so the guppies do not get eaten all at once and they can hide and breed as well as the Belonesox fry have a hiding place to hide. so what are the best plants floating type that i can use as cover and hiding places. Also where can i get a hold of these plants. I live in connecticut, so when should i start setting up the bin with plants , guppies and the Belonesox Belizanus.

Thats going to be cool. What is the filtration going to be? Also do you have a heater? becuase that can determine when you can start
 
get a UV and hook it in with a sponge filter.. water movement, filtration and no supergreen water... best of all worlds
