Plants such as Anubias, Crypts, Hygro, Java Fern and Jungle Val and Pennywort are all good choices.

pretty much any, i have yet to have a problem with a plant because of the temp. definetly swords, and vall, and crypts have done well in my tank which is at 86.

Hey Norm,

Your swords seemed to be doing pretty well in there -- were you looking to add something that would mix it up a little bit? Sean and Big Mom had some good ideas there -- even I haven't killed Cryptocorynes :)

The picture in my gallery is a painting of my fish not a photo so the plant life was put in by the artist  ;D

Off the top of my head, hornwort and cabomba don't do well in higher temps...

E. stellata did well in my discus tank (until someone who will remain nameless did a pruning job that looked like it might have been done by Freddy Krugar) at 88 degrees
