    I managed to get a species spotlight together for you guys today! going to TRY to keep up at least with 2 videos a week, one more vloggy style and one information based as time permits. Your support has been AMAZING. Thank you! Things are getting better, but still very demanding of my time. I hope you enjoy this little ditty about a really versatile little floating plant!

      Rachel O'leary you are amazing!! I wasn't expecting to see any videos from you in a while, but to my delight ( and lots others, I'm sure!! ) two videos this week!! Please pace yourself - you and your families health is top priority.

      Rachel O'leary I hope things continue on the positive! I took care of both my parents as they suffered and succumbed to Alzheimer's. So I know what you're going through in taking care of your family. But make sure you find time for yourself. Even if only a few moments. Good luck

      So glad to see another video from you! Please take as much time as you need! A vaguely interesting note: I learned that pretty much all the floating pond plants are illegal in Alabama. Apparently because they are invasive in southern AL. Even though northern AL gets cold enough to mitigate the 'invasiveness' of those plants, it's a statewide thing. Makes more sense as to why I can never find these!

    your daughters depression is already
    Under control and she is enjoying life again. Also for Chris that he heals fast and well and that nothing long term arrises.also the pressure on your older daughter must be immense also. You try and stay strong.

    I remember having a mild (but chronic) depressive episode a few years ago and abandoned fish keeping for some time because of it. And I feel overwhelmingly inspired and energized watching you facing all those extremely challenging circumstances and still dedicatedly work to keep your fishroom and backyard projects running (and meticulously recording and sharing them with us online). Bless your inspiringly strong, fishy heart.

    • @RachelOLeary
      @RachelOLeary  6 лет назад +8

      I try. Some days I do not manage to do anything for my projects but it gives me a lot of joy when i do, so i try and make time to feed my inner geek and bring you guys along with me. I am disappointed i have missed so many videos and so many things i would like to share with you guys, but some days there just isn't time to grab the camera and set up equipment. It is getting better each day so i am hopeful i will be more consistent going forward.

    Wow! I never knew these flowered! I love floating plants, but have had such limited access to them that I have never had red root floaters. I really want some now though! Thanks for doing a spotlight on these, I feel like floaters such as these, duckweed, water hyacinth, frogbit and so on don't really get much love, and I enjoy them all so much! Well done and informative as always. I hope your hubby, daughter and yourself are all doing well and healing up fast. Lots of love to you and your family! 💕💖🌸

    I bought a floating plant from Amazon called water spangles. It looks like a smaller version of frog bit to me and I really like it. It does grow very fast in my aquariums though. I started with 12 plants and now have to many to count in just a couple months. Great video Rachel. I really enjoy your species video be them plant or fish

You are a phenomenal woman, Fish Pimp and don't you forget that, in those darkest moments. I know how overwhelmed I felt and how I questioned everything when my daughter encountered similar problems yours.... and thats only one of the things on your plate!
    Just believe in the power of your love and just keep swimming on sweetheart; trust the current to take you all to where you need to be in order to thrive once more. There will be happiness and good times again. Take it from one who knows.

    My plant (Red Root Floater) multiplies quickly and has a beautiful red color. What needs to be done to make it bloom?
    - little water movement;
    - light 12h;
    - temperature 24-25 C;
    - micro and macro elements;
    - pH 7.6; GH4; KH7;

    I need your help if you have the time. I was just given 2 - 29 gallon tanks complete with filters, lights, stands, everything! I brought one home and scrubbed it outside before bringing it in and setting up. I had some substrate that I washed a couple weeks ago and I put that in and it muddied the water badly. I have 2 filters going on it now and can see a slight clearing but not much. So here is where I need your advise, should I drain it and start over with fresh or just let the filters do their job? I have a larger pea gravel and sand I want to add as well. Tomorrow I will go pick up some sponge filters to add to it. I have seeded sponges I can put in when I get the new, but wanted to get your opinion first.

However mine do not have anywhere close to the red color or root structure these have. I have a planted plus2.0 light on the tank and fertilize using mostly all of seachem’s products, including iron. Anything else I can do to increase the root structure or redness of my plants?

      Hi, Barbra and Milli, I'm drowning in this and 4 other floating plants because they grow so fast. I've got 3 tanks full and have been putting it in the pond but there is no room left. I'd love to send you some of it if you know how to organize letting me know where to send it. I hate the idea of wasting any life but it's smothering the plants in the tanks below. I'm in the UK and happy to post anywhere if you will cover the postage cost.
