That’s awesome! I also have a fish tank I have been wanting to put plants in. How do you have them set up?

I want to do this too!

I have these little suction cup thingies, photo posted below, I put some of them in there suctioned to the side, the rest I kinda just balance and stick them! The more you have the better they’ll stay. I’ll show you some closeup photos.

Or if you have a tank that has a lid with holes in the lid you can just slide the roots through there!

I thought I had replied to you, but instead, I just posted comments, if you check the comments, I showed how I have them set up!
