Can you keep a java fern in a ten gallon tank?

Answer by  DtheM1 (1150)

Yes, a java fern will grow very well in a ten gallon aquarium. Java fern is one of the most hardy aquatic plants, so it will be able to survive in water with a wide range of temperature, pH and hardness. It will thrive in a tank with fish that can provide nutrients from their waste products.

You can keep java fern in a ten gallon tank. You can put it in a fishbowl and it thrives. Most fish do not like its taste.

Answer by  Plantman (31)

The java fern grows very slowly and rarely over a foot wide. Assuming you have adequate supplies, a ten gallon tank should be just big enough to grow in.

Unless your java fern is to big for that size of tank it should be fine in a ten gallon tank.
