Pros

  • Easiest plant to plant in the substrate: Amazon sword, but you need to pick a shorter variety for a 10 gallon.
  • Something like Amazon swords, rosette swords, banana plants, and floaters like water lettuce are quite simple to care for although Amazon swords will grow huge and will need pruning.
  • Amazon swords have been easy ime and they send out new baby plants too 🥹
  • The only plant I've been having luck with is an Amazon sword.
  • I’ve also planted the tank in a man Amazon sword, Anubia and Java ferns when I got the fish.

Cons

  • Looks like Amazon sword
  • Amazon sword?! Whaaaat I didn't know they can grow out of the substrate like that. I actually have two, but they have gotten smaller over the year even though I give them root tabs every 3 months or so.
  • Would Amazon Swords hold up?
  • I have a 2 foot tall tank and the Amazon sword leaves are all crammed up against the lid.

It’s an Amazon sword! It’s much happier since I glued it to the moss bridge. They like to breathe.
