What is a tall plant I can grow in a fish pond?
I need a plant with lots of stems and places for little fish to hide from their hungry relatives. I would like something that could survive 4 feet of water. Thanks for any help.
*********Please Note**************
Young fish and newly hatched fry stay at the top of the pond to KEEP warm and to plant submerged plants it's too cold for them. The floating plants not only provide spawning areas but provide the nursery later. So always be careful when taking advice do the research and use logic.
Open the link below and see the plants any of which are good for hiding fry trying to keep out of sight from predators and hungry relatives. They float on top which is where the fry hang out at the top of the pond and not the bottom, **the reason they hang out at the top is because it's warmer there***. Frogbit,Parrot's Feather,Sensitive Plant these are good for the for the spawning and then the fry after hatching. If you don't have a plant ledge in the pond it's best to plant waterlillies and floating plants.
"Small fish or fry utilize shallow margins to keep warm"
