If I absolutely HAD to put a few large river rocks in the bottom of the tank to anchor a plant or two, I might do it, but I definitely won't be using gravel (because Myrtle would eat it) or sand (because it would be a huge pain in the butt to keep clean). I'm thinking about maybe some free-floating Elodea, but I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to live plants. With that in mind, are there any hardy, easy-to-maintain, relatively cheap aquarium plants that would look good, provide fun "hanging-out" spots for the turtles, and not be hazardous to the turtles' health if ingested? I'm looking for something that I could cheaply and easily replace once the turtles eat it (i.e., replaceable without me reaching into the tank and moving things around to place the plants. I still plan not to put any substrate on the bottom of the tank. I've had turtles for over twenty years now, but starting about nine years ago, I have ALWAYS gone with a rather spartan tank setup (no subtrate, no plants) due to one of my turtles' notorious habit of eating anything I put in there. I am currently setting up a 210-gallon tank and a 110-gallon tank for sliders, and I could use advice on the use of plants in them. ![]()
