Hornwort or eloda plants for my tank?

Which plant is best for my 10 gallon tank filled with Triops Longicaudatus?
Which is more edible for the triops? (im not saying this will be their main foodsource, but rather a salad bar for them when i am unable to feed them, like when i am at school)
Will any of these outgrow my 10 gallon tank? if so, how can i trim them? can i replant trimmings?

will either of these make my tank cleaner? dirtier?

how can i plant them? i know hornwort is a floating plant but i have no idea what that means

10 gallon tank freshwater plants?

should i put an Eloda plant, an Anubias plant, or something else in my 10 gallon tank?

My Triops Longicaudatus will be eating these plants from time to time, so they must be somewhat edible

Can i put a plant from a pond in with 1 day old triops?

i want to put a very small water lettuce in with my one day old triops, would it be ok to do this? Or should i leave until they are older?(the water lettuce is tiny)
thx ill wait for a couple of weeks! :P
the whole reason that i want a plant in there is so they can eat so why would i put a plastic one in there?

What kind of plants are okay with triops?

I have some triops and i am going to put them in a 5 gallon tank. I just used the one that came with the kit to raise them. What kind of plant could i put in with my triops? I heard it puts extra oxygen in the water and they can eat it. And also if i used an under gravel filter with sand would i still have to clean the tank every week? Thanks alot

Can a triop (triop longicaudatus) survive eating only algea or other aquatic plant life?

I’m doing a high school science fair project on closed evnciromental systems and I need an animal to breath all the oxygen that a plant would make or a way of absorbing the oxygen while supplying carbon dioxide. Other than triops, I am considering using Microbes or earth worms in soil.
