I really want 3 plants in my tank, but i dont know much about them. What can you plant them in? i just have rocks on the bottom, will they grow in rocks?

2nd i want the turtles to eat them, or float on them, i want them to be used, so if you could tell me what plants can be used in turtle tanks, and eaten.

please lemme know about the plants

A list of plants poisonous to your turtles

The thing you need to realize here, is that the plants likely won't "last" in the tank - don't count on them for hiding or long-term food supply. Turtles will likely uproot them, and honestly, once they realize said plants are edible, they won't last too long. =)

I keep plastic plants for hiding/comfort/habitat purposes and give Tucker romain lettuce regularly. When it's pond season again, I plan to start getting some good plants from nurseries, because the local pet store here doesn't have any of the "good" plants for sale.
