Yes!!! One of my pothos is also draped into one of my tanks. He draped himself there 😆 🤣

He's literally slowly creeped his way into it. And finally made it in lol

They look good. I'd just quarantine from any other plants you have for a few weeks. And keep checking them over for any pests

thank you!!

I use tank water for houseplants, but I dilute it 50/50 with tap water and only use it when a plant needs fertilized. The really mulm-y gross stuff at the bottom and in the filter gets sent outside either to the backyard or the front flower bed/yard depending on what's looking dry
