Old habits? 🙂

Thanks, Mike!

@@iainaquariumagic thanks, Iain💯👍❗️🇺🇸

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Tanks for looking, Merb!

@@iainaquariumagic Thanks, Iain. Straight from the RUclips freebies. 😁

You're doing a great job, Ron. Blessings from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🙏

@@iainaquariumagic Thank you, Iain. And Blessings from the States, my friend!

Hi Tara! There only sucessful spawn was their first one. They keep eating the fry around week one. I just might try the siphon hose and 'rescue' this batch - assuming they even get that far. But yeah - they stick close to each other. Little fish love. 🙂

@@garageaquatics2023 oh that's a good idea, hope you can get some fry! 🤞

@@TarasTankFriends Me too!

Thanks, Iain!

I love the look oh the Blyxa. I’m just trying to get some to show up in one piece. Both theme I ordered some, it got here looking like cooked spinach. Maybe just bad shipping? ~Ron

Thanks, Mike!

Thank You! ~Ron

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Actually, I bought those on Amazon back in December 2023. Here;s the link from the Amazon vendor: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017D20XXG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope this helps.

Thanks, Iain!

@@LushSaltyAquariums and there’s my problem: I just wasn’t managing it correctly. I’m still learning.

@@markfranklin8831 thanks, Mark. I’m still learning. I like the floating plants but I obviously need to do a better job at management.

@@garageaquatics2023 your doing great. Thank you

Hi Kavin, as a matter of fact, I just did about two weeks ago. Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/zxPV4UNb0tU/видео.html

Thx

@@Proaqautics You are most welcome! 🙂

Also can I use gravel to grow Amazon sword ?

@@Proaqautics Yes you can, but remember there are no nutrients in sand or gravel. They are inert. If the tank is older and established there should be lots of mulm and detritis that's worked it's way down into the substrate which will provide nutrients for the plants. Remember Amazon sword plants are heavy feeders. If it's new sands and gravels there will be nothing to sustain the plants. You'd probably want to add some sort of root tab fertilizer in the root zone. Check out the video where I plant Amazon sword plants into pots using a sand and gravel mix. I add a piece of root tab into each pot as I plant each plant. Here's a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/zxPV4UNb0tUh/видео.htmlttps://ruclips.net/video/zxPV4UNb0tUh/видео.htmlttps://ruclips.net/video/zxPV4UNb0tU/видео.html I hope that helps, Kavin. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers! ~Ron

@@alextimothy147 thanks, and that’s a great question. I got them at PetSmart year and a half ago. I think they called them red-eye albinos.

@@jeffkane4391 many thanks👍❗️🇺🇸

We've got 'em. And the signs go up warning people of West Nile Virus. Lots of standing water and golf courses. 🙂

Tanks, Merb!

@@aquaticfanaticsuk I think I’m at that point now with the Val. Although, the guppy grass grass has been going gang busters on eBay. So much so, I’ve pulled the ads waiting for more to grow. 😁

@@garageaquatics2023 that's a nice problem to have

Tanks for watching!

Did the roots melt out too? Mine took a few months to recover.

@@garageaquatics2023 yes everything turned brown.

@@tktropicals4997 I’m sorry to hear that! I just bought Blyxa japonica. Twice! And both times it showed up looking like cooked spinach. ☹️

That'll make it easier and a bit less mesy than reaching all the way in after them. 🙂

Problem is those tanks are full of Neocaridina shrimp.

So it seems like plucking is teh only way to go. Puffers are out. These tanks are full of shrimp. Thanks! ~Ron

I've got shrimp, so loaches are out. I've been thinking about the assassian snails though. They may be my soultion. Thanks! ~Ron

​@@garageaquatics2023 assassin snails will over produce as well.

@@markfranklin8831 I kind of assumed that, Mark. It's like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. And then I understand there's apossibility of introducing a parasitic pest as well. I just keep plucking.

Thanks. Gonna need it. 😁

I'm in Palm Desert. The other side of Palm Springs. Jorge brought them to me sometime last year. I really hope they do spawn. They really aare very cool! Thanks! ~Ron

@@garageaquatics2023 oh thats cool, My dad lives in palm desert.

@@GCaquatics Nice! It's alright out here.

I don’t, Jeff.

@@garageaquatics2023 well we will have to fix that!🙂they are great tank cleaners and pretty easy on the eyes too👀

I obviously wasn’t paying attention. Thanks for catching that.

@@LushSaltyAquariums I do pull them as they loosen, but I guess I could spend a bit and do that. I guess I’ll have to do that. 😁

Hey Steffan, when I first replied we were out of town in a hotel getting ready to go to Disneyland. But after sitting in front of the tank for a bit, I realized that it would be far too time consuming. As it stands, the leaves are at least still photosynthesizing. If the extra potassium does the trick, the new growth should look better and the damaged leaves should easily detach. ~Ron

Also, easygreen has potassium. 9.21% soluble potash. Npk 2.66-0.46-9.21 Even with all the potassium in easygreen I still dose lots of extra potassium

@@Merb34st I’m hoping that does the trick. I guess I missed that on the easy green label. I’ll check it out. Tanks!

@@pattys_aquatics great minds think alike💯❗️👍🇺🇸

@@Merb34st any kind of a stem plant ends up compost in my tanks. Fortunately, these I can grow. 😁

@@aquaticfanaticsuk thanks Keith. And you got me on that. I used to teach soils and fertilizers. I obviously need a refresh. 😁

@@aquaticfanaticsuk thanks, Keith. I was just shooting for practical this time. Bit I’ve got to tell you, I love terra cotta pots. 😁

@@garageaquatics2023 they do look great

@@aquaticfanaticsuk thanks.

It's hard to say, Juan. Maybe no. They are tougher, more fibrous.You might give it a try and keep an eye on the plants. If they start going for those plants, pull them out.

Thank you, Mark!

They absolutely took over! 🙂

Agreed❗️I’m coming back to midge fly larvae. ~Ron

always!

@@garageaquatics2023 yes it the best price🙂

I had a second pair as well, called Ted and Alice. From an old movie “Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice.” 😁

@@garageaquatics2023 😆😆

@@Theoffish1 the inside dimension are about 29” x 18” x 6”. So right around 41 quarts. I think I got them at Target.
