Plant help on dwarf trees/bushes or aquatic plants for tank

[vashe]

Well I had a crazy idea awhile back floating in my head to have a dwarf tree/bush growing out of my aquarium. lol I mainly want it for the root structureto grow all around the tank but not sure what type of trees/bushes that are small that can grow with just water and would have nice roots the fish can hide and swim around. LMK thank

Im thinking there probally isnt any so any water plants you can think of that grow high. I have alot of space on top of the tank that could use some attention. would just pull some local stuff but the waters I was thinking of takeing it from has alot of aggressive pike,musky and i really dont want my leg nawed off lol

Also what you all think would be a good plant for fast moveing water? Any suggestions on plants that can take the force of 2 1892 LPH/500 GPH powerheads

ah, you see i've only come across brackish ones, fw ones must be much harder to find though

nah there's some freshwater ones, brackish, and i believe some can tolerate full marine.

WHat size aquarium and plants are you looking for? I've seen some people with simple smaller vines that grow roots into the aquarium and the vine dangle off the outside. The ever so popular bamboo plants can do ok like that for a while(they have a tendency to not like it after a while and rot though). There are some more pond type of plants that require a slightly bigger deeper tank with roots and plants that can be cool, the the lighting becomes and issue for indoor growth usually.
