“If you’re new to the hobby and don’t know what multiple tank syndrome is… you’ll know soon enough” is the truest thing in the world because I’m here setting up my tank for the first time in three years and I’m already looking for a way to set up a second one……
I love, love, love your channel! We're from England living in Indiana USA &, you & your Jason have helped me so much coming into this hobby just this July. I also love that you had a small pond. 👏👏👏
The have fish swaps in Chicago Illinois which is next to Indiana. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. We have some of their fish. The fish are Always healthy and they will answer your questions.
I really like and appreciate this video. So very helpful no matter what stage of the game one at in the hobby. Wonderful content and delivery 😊 Thank you!
I am and have been all three 😁 Good morning my beautiful friend Joanna! You nailed it with this video, this will be a great video to share with friends... especially ones that see my tanks and want to know how I did it 🤣 I did it because I watched videos like yours 💪😍 Thank you for an amazing video and always encouraging us to give things a try with great ideas and tips 💡 I hope you have a wonderful day 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Hi Mary Paige - me too - more plants the merrier! I like info summarized in groups so I hope it helps a few folks. Hope you are having a nice day, it’s nice and sunny ☀️ here. Xoxo! ☺️
This video is great!! you could have made it as long as you wanted and talked about plants as much as you wanted and we all would have gladly listened(watched) i speak on behalf of all of us that watch your channels. So, thank you for taking your time to spread your wisdom! The small scape is awesome!!!
Honestly in my humble and selfish opinion, the only floating plant that causes a problem is Duckweed. One innocent little duckweed can lead to a continuous Matt of floating green. If you don't have it, keep it that way, if you do have lots of it (you never have a little) then buy shrimp and use duckweed to make food for them. Frogbit is my favorite Nitrogen control. That stuff sucks up nitrates faster than me attacking a strawberry shake! I love this feature because my city water has been really bad this last couple of years. Frogbit has saved me a number of times. Some of them have grown to 5 inches in a couple of weeks, but my water stays clean. If I get too many I either toss them or give them to people who want them. It is hard to get other floaters here but I keep trying. Those long trailing roots really look nice as well. Sometimes I enjoy the plants more than I do the fish!
i've always been sooo scared of diving into the world of aquariums and aquatic plants and fish. I'm finally planning my first nano tank and i'm SOOOO stoked to get started. Thank you for all your videos! they've helped me a lot!
I have my Oscar / Severum tank , my wife has a 40 Gallon community tank both in our bedroom LOL We now have a 75 in the living room and we tried live Swords for the first time. Things were not going well and we now know why , I caught this video 2 months ago and we now have a nice planted tank Anubias mostly ,Narrow leaf sword and Kleiner Bar all doing well . Thank you
Anyone else know how Chris at Fish For Thought always says "Don't forget to get your hands wet" as his tagline at the end of his videos? I could totally imagine Joanna saying "Come on in, the water's fine" at the beginning of her videos.
thanks so much, your breakdown was purrfect.. just started putting my plants in and I’m really loving it. I’m getting really excited and I’m even gonna graduate to have some shrimp. ironically, I have worked at a tree and shrub and perennial nursery for the past 15 years, but I know nothing about aquatic plants, except for maybe the water iris. I’d like a floating plant that’s roots gets to about 2 to 3 inches, is there a category, or a plant you suggest? PS, I almost buried a rhizome plant until I watched this video.. I pulled it out and tied it to a rock touching the soil, but not buried. Don’t bury the crown. That’s some thing we tell everyone, so that one I did know instinctively or by experience, but I didn’t really know how to put the rhizomes in
This is a great video. Thank you for giving us your time. I’m finally growing a pink flamingo on the 3rd try. That makes me very happy. Every time I see a new leaf popping up in the plant’s center, it feels like Christmas morning!
Super video with a great list of beginner plants. You can’t beat Anubias it’s totally indestructible, which is perfect for me (apart from the super glue 😳).
Another great video from The Small Scape and Joanna! This video is what you want to know about plants when new to the hobby. I'm just crazy about aquatic plants 🧡, maybe even more so than fish. I love your style of aquascaping, very inspiring. So far, I'm having nice growth with cryps wendtti Brown, anubias. Yesterday I bought very small Tonkinensis crypts and some Sagittaria subulata, I'm so excited to see if I can maintain them! My betta seems so happy with the carpet plants. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for this video. I'm trying new plants. Each time I've tried Bacopa it dies. Perhaps because I was impatient when they melted, I thought just a stem was dead. My favorite plants are Anbuis nano petite. Off topic you looked extra pretty today, Joanna. Happy planting.
Good morning! Great video, as always! My heart has the amazon sword.. I know they are for the bigger tanks but they are so easy to grow. I popped one in my 29 gallon quarantine tank and it is huge and gorgeous. It's just a 29 kit tank with the crappy hood lights and the swords LOVE those low lights. I will move it to the 120 some day if it get to big but for now it is gorgeous in that tank.
Thank you Joanna A great idea of yours to have groups of plants. I have tried many times to grow hair grass but it always ends up failing. I wish I knew the secret to that . Anyway interesting as always 😊
I loved how you divided the plants per how they are planted. I learned all the hard way: crypts melting, fern with blk spots, etc. still deciding the best combo for my 10 Gallon. Question: once my plants take hold (in substrate), can I rearrange them, say if I want to change the look of the tank altogether, can I replace them and have them grow? Thanks!
Hi! Yup, we all learn the hard way. You certainly can rearrange and plant them elsewhere - there are just some that will tolerate less than others. Like crypts - they like to be left alone ☺️
I enjoyed your presentation very much. I have a floating plant that looks much like your Ambulia but I am not sure what it is. It is growing like crazy. I am going to try planting some of it in the sub straight. I also have duckweed growing very fast. I intend to dip out most of the duckweed and dry it to use as fish food and also use in fish food mixes. I also have some Anubius growing, some Java fern, java moss, and crypts. I am kind of new to growing aquarium plants though I have been an aquarium hobbyist for sixty-two years. Aquaponics is also a new experiment for me. The aquarium hobby is something I have never gotten tired of.
Finally!! I've been looking for a video like this for a while. I'm new to Fish/Aqua Plants 🪴. I was a long-time Reptile Keeper in my youth. 5 kids, and 35 years in the Construction Trades later, I have semi-retired recently, passed the business to my Son, and have begun my Aquarium Journey. In my day, it was wayyy to expensive to keep fish. Technology has fixed this problem. Also, the Internet has enabled the "Average Joe/Jane" to get information on just about anything, and everything you could possibly imagine. Ie; Video's just like this... Amazing 👏. Thanks a lot for taking the time to bring us this much needed information. Merci Beaucoup Mademoiselle, pour avoir présenté cette vidéo. Ça va me aider beaucoup avec le soin de mes plantes. J'espère que tout va bien avec toi et ta famille. God Bless, and Rock on Girl ! New Subscriber from ; La Belle Province Gatineau Quebec Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
Good timing. My betta died last week and I want to rescape the tank before I think about getting a new one. I was floating bacopa and wedging a catapa leaf into the strands so she could nap on it.
Early Gang🤗✨ Hello Joanna and everyone 👋 Thanks for the video informative as always and cool way to do the video Very helpful love you and your husband channel 💓 blessings to you guy's
Thank you Joanna. I’m fairly new to plants in the aquarium hobby. I have. Few tanks with some plants, but most are silk plants for my bettas. Great information. Thank you Joanna 🤗
I'm a beginner with plants, and I've recently had success with 'narrowleaf' sagittaria subulata. It resembles jungle val but grows up to 20" tall only or so. I have a low tech tank with root tabs in basic gravel substrate and the plant really took off. I'm still not sure exactly the difference between narrowleaf and dwarf sag because I believe they share the same scientific name.
Excellent detailed video. Brand new to aquatic plants and learning alot from your channel. What kind of wood is in that tank at the 8:58 mark in the video. I love that. And is that wood ok for a betta set up.?
You probably do, but do you or your audience know Susswassertang basically just means Freshwater Seaweed in German? I'm surprised a version of this name hasn't gotten more popular since everyone struggles with the name lol. I took 2 years of German in school, that's the only reason I know about the Strauss and W=V. süß = Sooss which = Sweet. Wasser = Vahser = Water. Tang = seaweed. So it's a sweet water Seaweed. And Susswasser/Sweetwater is just the german word for Freshwater, lol. Which I find pretty entertaining. I'm a sweetwater fish keeper :B
Lol - I may have mentioned that in my species video for this plant. Not sure though. I remember hearing that and laughing to myself. It just makes the plant that much cooler! 😊
What if I chocked in four or five water hyacinth, you know like the pond plants, they’re big but they can’t over grow your tank. You can always just toss them. also, what about watercress on top? Have you tried that one? Somebody suggested it because it’s cheap and easy and I think easy to eradicate 😊
Ever tried growing Utricularia gibba or Utricularia gramofolia? Both are carnivorous and the first is a floater and the second is a planted and grows like grass.
Do you edit your own videos? For fish keeping RUclips connect on a small scale (haha small scape small scale) your videos are edited very easy on the eyes with the fade but yet also gorgeous b roll at the right intervals. And last but not least THE SOUND is very well balanced! Not sure if you’re doing it all on your own but the hard work is definitely noticed
Hello, i just came across your channel. I'm starting a new aquarium, (it's been many many years since I had one). I would like to have live plants. My question is, After setting up the tank, how long do I have to wait before I can add fish to the tank? Thank you.
I love the look of bacopa but they always turn into stems 😆 doesn’t help that my Honey Gourami eats them lol! But even in betta tanks etc they don’t last. I get diatoms on my plants too, all my tanks are established for over a year and I still get brown algae 😫
the "B" in Subwassertang is actually an S set which would be Susswasstertang. W's are pronounced as V's, not the a sound in the word tan but more like the a in wand. Also I believe the U has an umlaut which would make it Suesswassertang, like saying in between sus and Sue - "Soos"
In my experience java fern is the hardiest plant I have ever kept, mine is 6 years old and even multiplied so I attached it to more rocks in my aquarium.
Cool shirt, you should make on like: “The Small Scape” with a pic of a Betta on the front 😃 I have Brazilian Pennywort for my aquariums, I love it, but beware so do mystery snails lol
Currently my battle/fav is my banana plant! It is gorgeous and I love it but my dwarf gourami insists that it is his and will be where he puts it. I planted a leaf of it and a back corner a while ago and I'm about ready to pull it up and see if there's any sprouts coming underneath my substrate don't know if that's even possible but the leaf is doing well
Thank you for this video. I want to add plants to my tank and have not been able to get help from the box pet stores. In my area, they don't have floating plants, nor do they have people with plant knowledge. I have ordered a small amount of floating plants. I don't understand about lighting. What kind of light is best? Do I need to replace the lighting that came with my tank?
I absolutely hate Hornwort. I love Anubias petite nana. Mine are growing like crazy, and yet I thought they were slow growing, same with my Anubias petite. I have had a lot of bad experiences, but mostly due to the BBA that came in on some plants I bought before I was aware of what to watch out for.
I want to try and grow more red plants but not to sure if I can I hear high lights and co2 helps but I'm struggling with even the bacopa carolinia. I want to try baby tears or rotala's
Rotala is sooo easy to grow! Mine spreads like crazy. I have it in a 20 long with medium lighting. Red/pink plants do like a little more iron, which you can grab roots tabs or liquid ferts to help increase the red in the plant. I find myself trimming it every couple of weeks, you just cut the top off and replant the tops to propagate. IMO it is the easiest plant in the hobby!
Hello for the information I have a juwel rio 125 L aquarium i want to planted with echinodorus and anubias do I need a high level of filteration with lot of biological media or does just internal juwel filter shall be enough. My big filter holds 6 kilo of biological media and juwel internal filter takes around 1.5 kilo of media . Please advise me !thanks Thanks à lot
It’s so confusing because in the land plant world ferns reproduce by spores, but here it’s rhizomes? Just so odd. When I think rhizomes the first thing that comes to mind is Lily of the Valley.
Could someone refer us to a company that sells plants for your tank on line that is actually worth what is charged for them...for instance, java moss grows like Krazy, but it costs a weeks worth of groceries for a nickel size piece that should cost a dime. Then the shipping is even more for something nearly weightless.
I recently got an Amazon sword and I'm scared of it. It's gonna get huge and idk how to deal with it 😬 I was thinking of getting a fish bowl and just having it there by itself I wonder how it would look near the window 🤔

No known cure for MTS lol
I have four after 10 months
Yeah..I have 3 now 😂
Lol! I only have two, but I'm eagerly awaiting my third.
I am setting up 4 know
A perfect introduction for getting everyone started in plants 💚🌿🐟🌿🌿🌿
I love, love, love your channel! We're from England living in Indiana USA &, you & your Jason have helped me so much coming into this hobby just this July. I also love that you had a small pond. 👏👏👏
The have fish swaps in Chicago Illinois which is next to Indiana. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. We have some of their fish. The fish are Always healthy and they will answer your questions.
So glad to hear it, Polly! England is on my to do list! That’s quite the switch to Indiana. Welcome to the 🇺🇸 AND to this great hobby! ☺️
Where at in Indiana? Churubusco near ft Wayne here
I really like and appreciate this video. So very helpful no matter what stage of the game one at in the hobby. Wonderful content and delivery 😊 Thank you!
You’re so sweet, Audra. After seeing how long it turned out I was like 🤦🏻♀️ nobody will watch this! 🤭😆
I always struggle with choosing favorites, but you have inspired me to do more plant shopping! 😉🌱 But I think I’m gonna need another tank 🤭🤫
Oh good, yay for more tanks haha! ☺️
I am and have been all three 😁
Good morning my beautiful friend Joanna!
You nailed it with this video, this will be a great video to share with friends...
especially ones that see my tanks and want to know how I did it 🤣 I did it because I watched videos like yours 💪😍
Thank you for an amazing video and always encouraging us to give things a try with great ideas and tips 💡
I hope you have a wonderful day 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚
Hi Mary Paige - me too - more plants the merrier! I like info summarized in groups so I hope it helps a few folks. Hope you are having a nice day, it’s nice and sunny ☀️ here. Xoxo! ☺️
This video is great!! you could have made it as long as you wanted and talked about plants as much as you wanted and we all would have gladly listened(watched) i speak on behalf of all of us that watch your channels. So, thank you for taking your time to spread your wisdom!
The small scape is awesome!!!
Thank you so much, so happy to hear and very kind of you to take the time to comment. ☺️
I am just getting into plants. Your videos are inspiring. I bought a plant because of what you said. The Anubias.
Honestly in my humble and selfish opinion, the only floating plant that causes a problem is Duckweed. One innocent little duckweed can lead to a continuous Matt of floating green. If you don't have it, keep it that way, if you do have lots of it (you never have a little) then buy shrimp and use duckweed to make food for them. Frogbit is my favorite Nitrogen control. That stuff sucks up nitrates faster than me attacking a strawberry shake! I love this feature because my city water has been really bad this last couple of years. Frogbit has saved me a number of times. Some of them have grown to 5 inches in a couple of weeks, but my water stays clean. If I get too many I either toss them or give them to people who want them. It is hard to get other floaters here but I keep trying. Those long trailing roots really look nice as well. Sometimes I enjoy the plants more than I do the fish!
My favorite quote. If your new to the hobby and you dont know what MTS is.. you will
😂😂 thanks for catching that one.
i've always been sooo scared of diving into the world of aquariums and aquatic plants and fish. I'm finally planning my first nano tank and i'm SOOOO stoked to get started. Thank you for all your videos! they've helped me a lot!
Another great lesson from Professor Joanna
Lol! Ok quiet down now. Take a seat. Eyes on your own paper. 😂😂
I have my Oscar / Severum tank , my wife has a 40 Gallon community tank both in our bedroom LOL We now have a 75 in the living room and we tried live Swords for the first time. Things were not going well and we now know why , I caught this video 2 months ago and we now have a nice planted tank Anubias mostly ,Narrow leaf sword and Kleiner Bar all doing well . Thank you
I love Love LOVE this video! I'll be watching it again when I have paper and pen to write some of this down.
Thanks, Whip. You just made my day. 🙌😌
I had one tank for 8 years. In the past two months, I went from one to five!!!!
I still go back and watch your info, you have been a blessing to me 🥰 Thank you
Anyone else know how Chris at Fish For Thought always says "Don't forget to get your hands wet" as his tagline at the end of his videos? I could totally imagine Joanna saying "Come on in, the water's fine" at the beginning of her videos.
That’s awesome! Very representative of my mission to get people into the hobby (fun fact, my sister thought of that phrase!)☺️
thanks so much, your breakdown was purrfect.. just started putting my plants in and I’m really loving it. I’m getting really excited and I’m even gonna graduate to have some shrimp. ironically, I have worked at a tree and shrub and perennial nursery for the past 15 years, but I know nothing about aquatic plants, except for maybe the water iris.

I do love the colour range of ludwigia
Super video with a great list of beginner plants. You can’t beat Anubias it’s totally indestructible, which is perfect for me (apart from the super glue 😳).
Lol - you and that super glue. 😂
🤪🤗
The water is ALWAYS fine on The Small Scape!! Love it J!!! 😆👍🏾

A great idea of yours to have groups of plants.
I have tried many times to grow hair grass but it always ends up failing.
I wish I knew the secret to that .

Hi! Yup, we all learn the hard way. You certainly can rearrange and plant them elsewhere - there are just some that will tolerate less than others. Like crypts - they like to be left alone ☺️
@@thesmallscape Thanks! That helps.Yes, crypts are finicky for sure. One of my anubias just sprouted a new leaf so I am excited!

Good timing. My betta died last week and I want to rescape the tank before I think about getting a new one. I was floating bacopa and wedging a catapa leaf into the strands so she could nap on it.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. I wish you joy in rescaping. ☺️
Early Gang🤗✨
Hello Joanna and everyone 👋
Thanks for the video informative as always and cool way to do the video
Very helpful love you and your husband channel 💓 blessings to you guy's
Hello Christopher! So glad to hear it ☺️
Hi. I was gonna say Anubis is the pothos of the house plant world. I am really enjoying your videos.
best plants = annubis and crypts! I also recently found that Hygrophilia does so well in my tanks :)
Thanks to you Joanna it has to be anubias for me
That is one heck of a good video. I wish that this video had existed when I was starting with plants many years ago.
Aw - thanks Darryl! 😋
My faves are anubias nana and nana petite, java fern, crypts, buce and java moss!
Duckweed is equal to dandelions you either see it as a menace or a pretty beneficial. I'm lazy and learned to lean back and accept it! Thanks Joanna!
I try to appreciate its tinyness 😂
Favorite Anubias is the Nana. But I LOVE micro swords. I have several, and plan to get more soon. They look awesome anywhere!
I know!! Every time I get some, I want more. 😬😆🤭
Thank you Joanna. I’m fairly new to plants in the aquarium hobby. I have. Few tanks with some plants, but most are silk plants for my bettas. Great information. Thank you Joanna 🤗
That’s how we started, with the silk ones. ☺️
Great tutorial. Short and to the point. Excellent.
Excellent info , so I watched it twice in a row. Thanks for sharing. Loving your channel glad I subscribed 👍👍
Wow!! That’s a whole chunk of time there. You made my day! 😃😊
I'm a beginner with plants, and I've recently had success with 'narrowleaf' sagittaria subulata. It resembles jungle val but grows up to 20" tall only or so. I have a low tech tank with root tabs in basic gravel substrate and the plant really took off. I'm still not sure exactly the difference between narrowleaf and dwarf sag because I believe they share the same scientific name.
For a planted plant, I really like water wisteria. With just a little bit of liquid fertilizer, it does grows fairly fast.
Cheers nice share there and thanks
Fantastic video today! So much great aquatic plant information!!! Thank you so much!
I’m so glad to hear it ☺️
Excellent detailed video. Brand new to aquatic plants and learning alot from your channel. What kind of wood is in that tank at the 8:58 mark in the video. I love that. And is that wood ok for a betta set up.?

I'm a sweetwater fish keeper :B
Lol - I may have mentioned that in my species video for this plant. Not sure though. I remember hearing that and laughing to myself. It just makes the plant that much cooler! 😊
Best background plant for a 5 gallon nano tank without the lid :)
I love floating plants! Terrific information 🙂
Yay for floating plants!!! ☺️☺️☺️
I'm looking for plants that filter the water the best, like consuming nitrates. Yes I'm a beginner and doesn't have a aquarium yet.
What if I chocked in four or five water hyacinth, you know like the pond plants, they’re big but they can’t over grow your tank. You can always just toss them. also, what about watercress on top? Have you tried that one? Somebody suggested it because it’s cheap and easy and I think easy to eradicate 😊
I love banana plants! So cute when they shoot off a lily pad! My betta loves hanging out under it 😅
I have not kept the banana plant yet!!! I need to ...like ASAP!
Crypts are my fav
Ever tried growing Utricularia gibba or Utricularia gramofolia? Both are carnivorous and the first is a floater and the second is a planted and grows like grass.
What brand/type/model are those little tanks behind you? I love how they all "go together".
Those are Lifegard Aquatics 😊
Looking forward to vals
If you haven’t already, try the red tiger lotus. Extremely beautiful and super easy.
It’s on my list! ☺️
Cool channel! 💚
Do you edit your own videos? For fish keeping RUclips connect on a small scale (haha small scape small scale) your videos are edited very easy on the eyes with the fade but yet also gorgeous b roll at the right intervals. And last but not least THE SOUND is very well balanced! Not sure if you’re doing it all on your own but the hard work is definitely noticed
Super super video, you dumb it down for us noobs. Great stuff 👍👍
Loving your channel glad I subscribed 😉
Awww - so nice!!! I dumb everything down so I can understand it. ☺️
i love java fern i grow rare java fern i have java fern orange tip java fern thors hammer java fern coral and rare floating plants
This channel should do a live stream then have Jason as a guest on the show. Tehehehe I tried Amazon frogbit but it died. That wasn’t an easy floater
my favourite plant is anubias nana petite and crypts
🌱🙌🌿
Great guide!
Good Morning.
Hello, i just came across your channel. I'm starting a new aquarium, (it's been many many years since I had one). I would like to have live plants. My question is, After setting up the tank, how long do I have to wait before I can add fish to the tank? Thank you.
Great help ❤️
Amazing video Joanna.🐠🐟🌱🌱
🌱☺️🌱
Waw so beautiful
Can you please share more tips on fertilizer, when and how to use them in Nano tanks?
I love the look of bacopa but they always turn into stems 😆 doesn’t help that my Honey Gourami eats them lol! But even in betta tanks etc they don’t last. I get diatoms on my plants too, all my tanks are established for over a year and I still get brown algae 😫
👍😎 Nice video Joanna. Never tried plant’s but will after we move in few months. Would floating plants work with lids & canopy?
the "B" in Subwassertang is actually an S set which would be Susswasstertang. W's are pronounced as V's, not the a sound in the word tan but more like the a in wand. Also I believe the U has an umlaut which would make it Suesswassertang, like saying in between sus and Sue - "Soos"
In my experience java fern is the hardiest plant I have ever kept, mine is 6 years old and even multiplied so I attached it to more rocks in my aquarium.
Crypts are probably my favorite
It’s a classic plant. 🌱😊
nice much love ❤️
Cool shirt, you should make on like: “The Small Scape” with a pic of a Betta on the front 😃 I have Brazilian Pennywort for my aquariums, I love it, but beware so do mystery snails lol
That would be fun - or some green neons 🤭 but there would have to be a plant too ..😃
@@thesmallscape yes! A colored up betta or tetra with a few plants around it 🤩
Wow
Currently my battle/fav is my banana plant! It is gorgeous and I love it but my dwarf gourami insists that it is his and will be where he puts it. I planted a leaf of it and a back corner a while ago and I'm about ready to pull it up and see if there's any sprouts coming underneath my substrate don't know if that's even possible but the leaf is doing well
Great video!
Thank you, Kristen! ☺️
Thank you for this video. I want to add plants to my tank and have not been able to get help from the box pet stores. In my area, they don't have floating plants, nor do they have people with plant knowledge. I have ordered a small amount of floating plants. I don't understand about lighting. What kind of light is best? Do I need to replace the lighting that came with my tank?
great video.
This one is one of my favorites yet! I do like organized; ) rotala indica \m/ 🤙🏾🌿
Yay! So glad to hear it! Nice 🌱pick!☺️
@@thesmallscape you are on a roll with some great content! Very interested on what's next, intriguing?
@@thesmallscape surprised it wasn't on your list. Do you have any in your tanks?
I absolutely hate Hornwort. I love Anubias petite nana. Mine are growing like crazy, and yet I thought they were slow growing, same with my Anubias petite. I have had a lot of bad experiences, but mostly due to the BBA that came in on some plants I bought before I was aware of what to watch out for.
Stems, Rosettes, and mosses
I want to try and grow more red plants but not to sure if I can
I hear high lights and co2 helps but I'm struggling with even the bacopa carolinia. I want to try baby tears or rotala's
Rotala is sooo easy to grow! Mine spreads like crazy. I have it in a 20 long with medium lighting. Red/pink plants do like a little more iron, which you can grab roots tabs or liquid ferts to help increase the red in the plant. I find myself trimming it every couple of weeks, you just cut the top off and replant the tops to propagate. IMO it is the easiest plant in the hobby!
@@feralon9570 that's cool thanks for the help👋
Hello for the information I have a juwel rio 125 L aquarium i want to planted with echinodorus and anubias do I need a high level of filteration with lot of biological media or does just internal juwel filter shall be enough.
My big filter holds 6 kilo of biological media and juwel internal filter takes around 1.5 kilo of media .
Please advise me !thanks
Thanks à lot
xD
Staurogyne repens (S. repens)
I remember someone struggling saying that one during a live stream few weeks ago :P
Great video
Thank you! 🌱
What’s best for 1 gallon tank for dwarf frog
It’s so confusing because in the land plant world ferns reproduce by spores, but here it’s rhizomes? Just so odd. When I think rhizomes the first thing that comes to mind is Lily of the Valley.
What do you think about elodea?
Could someone refer us to a company that sells plants for your tank on line that is actually worth what is charged for them...for instance, java moss grows like Krazy, but it costs a weeks worth of groceries for a nickel size piece that should cost a dime. Then the shipping is even more for something nearly weightless.
Do we need to turn off filter before adding liquid fertiliser?
Nope ☺️
I recently got an Amazon sword and I'm scared of it. It's gonna get huge and idk how to deal with it 😬 I was thinking of getting a fish bowl and just having it there by itself I wonder how it would look near the window 🤔
Yes but the cons of floating plants is, they get out of control and block light from fish tank plants at the bottom.
Both good points yes. ☺️
I have moderate flow and two red eared sliders, I can not keep duckweed alive!!
