hey bros, havent come in here for a long time since all my carps got wiped out by ick. :sad: am now trying to keep small fishes instead, easier to manage.

my little fibreglass pond (90cm x 70cm x 15cm) now undergoing cycling, have put in two small fishes to help contribute tiny amounts of ammonia to encourage the cycling. am now considering to put in some aquatic plants too.

need some advice from u bros. my pond is in one corner of my living room, so there is not much light. i dont want to add more lightings to that corner, as it serves as a quiet corner for me to relax. i've tried getting those anubias which are attached to a wood piece last time from the shop, but they dont last very long. any recommendations for any kind of plants which do not require much light and easy to grow? would be good if u can attach a picture so that i know exactly what to look for in the shop. thanks bros. :smile:
