I Just stuck 5 "banana plants" into a shallow (8") high-light tank and
these look like they behave a lot like those babies. It looks great in your
tank, but I wonder if it'd be much cooler if the lilies could actually
reach the surface. I always see people putting their lilies in tanks that
are super deep. In a shallower tank, when they're able to be much more
natural, they look like a totally different plant. The bottoms of the
leaves turn dark purple and the tops get tons of pores to suck up goodies
right out of the air.
Regardless your tank looks like it's bumpen! Keep up the videos. They're
great
im new i just subbed your channel . i got baby painted turtles in 75gal . i
wanna mix up the diets a lil i know they will dig them up and eatt them . i
got a pretty good green thumb. ive did hydroponics and soil veggie gardens
inside and outside. but aquarium plants are new to me . i would love to
keep a small tank of live plants and take cuttings to my 75 for my lil guys
to snack on and use for hiding to catch fish. so if u could find the time
please let me know what to look for .thanks
put a video up if thats a live stream ur talking about. man i want ur
plants but my damn mom wont go out and get dirt idk when she will o yeah
with crypts dude theres a way to separating them with out up rooting, i
found a way. pull on a leaf and if u feel like its loose slowly pull it up
and the rest of the plant should not move only those few leaves show. u
should see the roots and the seed thing idk what its called. thats hiw u
trim or separate my crypts (sorry for long comment)
haha its funny i have a 20 gal with no dirt and it has hair grass no co2
only light from the sun its facing east and the hair grass is going nuts i
think for hairgrass its probubly the only plant that does well in gravel i
stick it in my dirt tank and it dies and never comes back
@MrSilent937 I've got no clue on turtles to be honest...you might put some
elodea in the tank with the turles I know it is native to the usa maybe
some moss? I appreciate teh sub, but sadly, i know what I know...plants,
but the diet of a turtle is not my game...hope that helps.
hey i probs sound like a massive newbie but i was just wondering how i
should trim my anubias? should i just cut off the discoloured leaves
themselves or cut off their whole stem or what? thanks man
@Dustinsfishtanks I'll try that friday when I do a water change I have just
been cutting it back to a few inches under the water level need to cut it
twice a week it grows about 3 inch a day
I got my hair grass carpet to grow without hevy co2.... but i do have good
lighting.. check it our if you have a chance .... i talk step by step about
how to grow hairgrass
My aquatic planted water turn greenish when the plants started to grow ,
what could be the possible problem and any solution to bring water to clear
condition.
Dustin check out my new vid of my tank, refurbed it with plants! Look at my
sword it's got a big shoot, should I pinch them off and stick them in the
gravel?
whats the temp range for the plants can they survive cooler water? im
asking cause i have a fancy goldfish tank and may turn it in to a planted
tank one day.
On anubius it is that bar like piece that the leaves come out of and the
roots come down from. Check out Dustin's video" How to propogate Aquarium
plants"
Aquarium Plant Discussion About Floating Plants Frogbit, Salvinia Natans and Dwarf Water Lettuce
In this video I talk about the 3 types of floating plants I have in my tanks and the benefits of having them. If you have never tried using floating plants hopefully you ...
Hey! I want to set up a small 10 gallon tank. I want to set it up with dirt
and some black gravel to cap it off. I Love the look of plants but i am
just horrible with remembering plant names..... I don't want java fern or
moss or any anubias. I like stem plants and plenty of other plants. I
really want to go towards the fast growing plants. I saw this cool green
plant in a local stream that looks a lot like grass but it is completely
submerged. If I get it what should I do to prepare it?
hello, just a question., I have some Water lettuce in my 35 gallon tank and
it was growing fine before I left to vacation for 6 weeks. No one changed
the water and my Dwarf water lettuce and Jungle Val was affected. Jungle
Val completely gone which I missed a lot because my Chinese algae eater
pull away all the roots. Dwarf water lettuce is still there but the leaves
are very tiny and mostly stuck in the filter. Please advise what should I
do to water lettuce so it can bushy again.
I was thinking about putting some floating plants in with my 2 adult
Oscars. As they are very messy fish, I think both the fish and the plants
would benefit greatly from it being in the tank. I don't really want to try
rooted plants because Oscars are cichlids, and cichlids are infamous for
digging up plants and rearranging their tanks. Any suggestions?
I have dwarf water lettuce in my 5 gallon tank (60 l), and from just 3
small plants, I can pretty much get the entire tank surface covered in
about 3-5 weeks, with root structures more than a foot long. I've found
that under lower lighting their growth is much more reasonable, and they're
a good addition to even small low light tanks
I ordered some Salvinia natans a few days ago. I used to have some a few
years ago. I always had to pull handfuls of it off the tank every week. It
did a great job of taking out nitrates. I'm hoping that my tiny order will
take off again. At the price of the stuff, I must have chucked a few quid
every week. lol
can you use any of the three mentioned above to feed gold fish or Tilapia?
I'm working on an aquaponics system and would love to hear what you might
recommend? I live in California, and yes I do know all about duckweed. I
was excited to learn that their might be more plants that they can feast
on.
I love these as well as duck weed, asian watergrass and floating fern. they
Flourish overtime i but them... But only for a short while. They grow and
reproduce so quickly that within a month they have used up all the
nutrients in the water and then they start to rot...
I have 11 fish in the tank and dose some API CO2 booster with 20W
florescent light. I really love to hove a bushy dwarf water lettuce cover
up the tank surface. Should I add more fish so it can have more natural
fertz?? any helpful advise will be appreciated.
you didn't mention duckweed, that stuff is a pain in the rear. Hard to
control and gets all over you when working on the tank. Have you ever tried
azolla? It looks pretty cool on the surface, but is pretty small so
controlling it can be tricky.
Thank you for such a succinct comparison. I love the look of roots trailing
down and have gotten so many different recommendations. I think choosing
plants for an aquarium is very specific for each aquarium and the look
you're after.
Thank you. Very informative. This video was helpful, as I am considering
floating plants in my tank. I like the frogbit best too, because I like the
way it looks both above and below the surface.
Fantastic video, very useful to see all three floating plants in action.
You have stopped me making the mistake of getting S. natans in my external
tank too, Ill stick to the others!
Many thanks for the excellent description of the most popular tropical
floating plants. Has helped me create the best aquarium I've had in 30+
years of tropical fish keeping!
Thanks for doing this video. I've been researching floaters for my 5 gal
low flow betta setup. I'm guessing the Savinia Natans out of these might
be a good choice?
Very helpful as I am trying to decide what to plant in a tank of North
American Cichlids (who love the taste of plants). Need to put something in
to handle nitrates...
nice informative video, good stuff. ive got loads of the frog bit and only
got a tiny piece originally when i bought some shrimps. i should really try
some others!
having floating plants is cool but my water flow in the tank is too strong,
and everything is on low setting. Too bad I cant have anything floating ...
Thank you, I used to use butter on the fresh cut bamboo after removing the
yellow part.
I had no idea what else to do.
I'm glad I found your videos. Take care, and thank you again.
+Gabriella Tepper-Doran Simple: I cut a small cube of butter that is meant just for the bamboos. I rub the cut end of the bamboo into it, and try also to pick with it some butter so that the edges are well covered. If is needed I add some with my finger and tap it. With the wax you just dip it in. The difference is the butter is cold, from the fridge, but the wax is boiling.
Thanks for the video and the information..it could have been a lot shorter
though...I don't think you need to say to use a sharp knife or to use a
cutting board to protect your counter top Have all the stuff you need for
your video ready..have the cutting board out on the counter, have the
bamboo unbundled, etc. Just some suggestions! Your video had all the
information I needed, which you could have delivered in about 3 minutes. :)
Thank you so much c: my sister got me a couple and I got myself a couple so
I have 4 but two are in my fish tank and I don't wanna buy anymore cause
they're kind of expensive. If candle wax actually works then I'll go ahead
and do this!
+SamLesCreations i used candle wax about 7 months ago on my bamboo :) it is still healtly and nothing changed! it is a succes! i must give just a little advice : dont put to warm wax...
AQUARIUM PLANT: How To Tips: DUCK WEED Best Floating Plant
ONLINE STORE LINK: //www.ebay.com/usr/waynesfishwolrd growing duckweed tips and care guide duckweed is an easy plant to grow, it really thrives in ...
Duckweed is definitely great for nutrient levels, but it becomes very
annoying fast when it grows completely out of hand or constantly clogs your
filter intakes. I have lots of flow in my tanks and this stuff once it gets
in the current it is all over the place. Out in a pond I could see the
benefits of it and like ya said feeding those types of fish. Good video
yeah buddy i have all shorts of plants listed on my store by next week i
should have rotalals ludwigia and more java moss ready to go right now i
have lilys and swords and crypts duckweed and lots more ready click the
link and check it out buddy
haha i killed duckweed, i dont even bother with live plants these days
because i have a black thumb and murder all the plants. The fish/water was
fine just not enough light for my tank haha
does duckweed oxygenate the water? Finding conflicting views on that. In
short, in a duckweed setup will fish die or survive alright (with no
artificial aeration source)?

Control the snail population in aquarium - the "mechanical way", alternative to "chemical solutions"
All planted aquarium owners experience snail problem. It's almost impossible to have planted aquarium without common snails! You buy some plants at the ...
It's JBL NovoFect (//bit.ly/1M4V3Nu). As I mentioned below, try to collect the snails from the trap in the morning, before the moment when the tank lights start. You will see that the trap will be full of snails.
I have sand snails. This is a safe way to get rid of at least the majority.
I will now shop for one of these and use it in my over snail populated
tanks. Thanks.
