celery

What is the wierdest plant you've grown in your tank? Currently I am growing celery in a heavily planted tank and it's thriving and the fish love it.

you grew it from a seed? in the tank?

No I got the celery to sprout and then transferred it to the tank where it has more then doubled in size and my pleco loves it. I am trying an onion now.

Just be careful with them eating the celery. Celery is stringy and the strings are hard for them to digest. Can cause problems.

perhaps you'll grow carrots and potatos next.
