[AquaticLife] Hey Len? Its about plants
I don’t think there’s a search for pH… although that new database site we’ve been looking at might have a search for plants also.. I haven’t really checked for that yet.
I checked the plantgeek.net forums for a search on “low pH plants” and I saw your new thread. Hopefully, you’ll get more answers. Something I’m thinking is that the plants found in a South American soft water biotope should work for you also. Read over the following for plant ideas.
http://fish.mongabay.com/biotope.htm - each section about a specific biotope starts off with the pH range for that biotope. Scrolling down the page and I see the S.E. Asian Blackwater Pool has water that sounds a lot like yours (”…and few, if any, mineral sources, the water is acidic and very soft…”). There are three plant categories listed in that section. These next two S.American biotopes also have your kind of water.. once again another blackwater biotope… http://fish.mongabay.com/biotope_rio_sucasari.htm and http://fish.mongabay.com/biotope_amazon_blackwater.htm but at least you have an idea of many types of plants that do well in your low pH water.
