I just got my 125 gallon tank :D , and I want to put real plants in there. Is there any plants that I should know about that can harm my turtles?

If you see a plant you like, and you're not sure about it, google it.
I mistook "Brazil sword" for "Amazon Sword" once, but double checked it on google when I brought it home, and found out it was actually a type of lilly, which is poisonous :o

i would say all true aquatic plants are safe but you would need to research them because there are a couple that arent safe. Nice link there BullDog

OMG green peppers are poisonous to turtles?! I fed Nyxie green peppers :( She is ok though.

Nevermind! I just re-read and it says foliage. Phew!
