    We have a brackish paludarium tank, with 1x Mudskipper ( Mannetjie ) and 3x Sailfin Mollies.

    Where can I get plants that would grow in brackish water.

    Anyone to sell, give or trade.

    Thanks

    Hi @Rickus....

    It's surprising how many "normal" plants will adapt to Brackish conditions.... Try Anubias,Bacopa monneira,Java Fern(best) and moss,Ceratophylum(Watersprite),Hornworth and Giant Vallisneria....

    If you take them from fresh,straight to brackish,they will be set back a bit,but given a bit of your Flourish and some time,will soon adapt to their new salinity...

    Double postive on what Azurekoi said, plus plastic plants if you're inclined to go that way. While it does look nice, bear in mind not a lot of the brackish species we see encounter plants regularly in the wild. I recommend sparse but effective planting for brackish tanks.
