Plants Hen and Chicken

What would be the pro's and con's of taking plant from my garden (Hen and Chicken)
and putting it in my tank .
If I can use it should it lie in clean water first and for how long? :unsure:

 

@Willem... it would last for a week or two - then die - often sold as an Aquatic,but even struggles in marshy conditions...got one growing in my paludarium in the "dry" area...does o.k there...

 

@azerukoi... thanks wanted to put some in cause some one told me it grows and he had no problem with it, it actualy
took over his tank

 

Rather go for hydrangeas, they create a great splash of colour.... for a day or so

 

LOL Thanks Trevor

 

Hey bud, to be serious for just a mo if that's possible... there's a great variety of true under water plants you should consider that will prove far more rewarding, low tech included.

 

What are the low tech plants that 1 should consider if they dont want a full planted tank but just some green?

 

Fonkie actually planted this in his tank and it was a disaster..... made the water a miffy colour and the water stank really bad.

 

If you could give us some idea on your tank specs, details and fish that would help us point you in the right direction ?

 

Check this list out for starters, many of which are available locally and make sure you have plant friendly fish....

Here is a low tech tank of mine that I posted way back, just to show you some of the variety..

Ditto,It will foul your tank terribly.Frankly whoever told you that this plant actually grows and thrives underwater is a liar.

 

Thanks will not even try it.....
