Will Java Fern Survive?

[oscarfish1395]

I am going to set up a new 180 gallon tank soon and was thinking about putting some java fern on the driftwood and rocks that i am getting. The future residents of the tank are going to be 2 oscars, 2 jaguar cichlids, a red snook, 1 sailfin pleco, and 1 fire eel. will the java fern survive or will it be destroyed?

It may survive, but it'll have to be rooted firmly to the rock/driftwood before it goes in your tank.

The java Fern Will be put in the tank befor the fish

Keep in mind that it can take a couple of weeks for the Java to get a firm grip on the wood.

I think it should do fine. Java Fern is a hardy plant, and none of the fish mentioned are notorius vegitation eaters.

I think your fish will pull everything out of the ground you plant, would even probably push around all your rocks and wood too.

My Jag doesn't even leave the gravel alone, 75% of the glass on bottom is showing because she pushes everything to the sides...
