Question y’all… do aquarium plants count? 😅😅😅 I’m learning they can be just as fussy as earth plants sometimes

Explain " count "

#### Dory replied on 2025-06-30

Well plants doesn’t recognize my aqua plants but if they count towards how many plants are part of my oasis, then I’m well into the triple digits now😅

Oh ok I get you now

They totally count; aquascaping is great

Yesssss! The 10 being a temp tank I didn’t pay too much attention to detail… this 45 build though… of course I’ve carefully thought and planed even which plants will hang out of it😅

Looks like crap in the pic but I took the driftwood out and it’s in the big tank now

I definitely say they count, aquatic plants are just as rewarding as terrestrial ones!!
