@@Fishaholic I am sorry again sir, both sides look alike, should I let the potato with the side i think it's the right one for 1 week and if I don't see roots, should I turn on the other side? Or it will grow from both sides anyway.
Use a broader cup and go with your gut feeling. Potato will only grow leaves from the right end. Even if you have it upside down and use a broader cup then it will grow roots and leaves from bottom. Hope it helps
Thank you so much for this video...I put one in my HOB and almost immediately started rotting. Gonna try putting it into a cup so it can grow roots first.
Ypu are crazyman, in a good way crazy, I love the idea. Not sure about sveet potato, but ordinary potato will grow from even small piece like 1/4 or less. We used to cut planting potatos in half when we had too few to plant whole plot. That would make it more compact to begin with.
Cheers mate, I added the plant for filtration only and removed it from the tank when the potato started to rot. Unfortunately no delicious potatoes for me. Appreciate your comment and enjoy your weekend
Hey fishaholic you have a brilliant channel , we really love your channel name :D We never thought that it its possible to grow sweet potato in aquarium :)) We will support your channel and press red button we hope that this will be start of our new friendship :))
Hi Erika, the pointed end in water will give you good results. Roots will grow from all part of potato submerged in water and exposed part will produce leaves.
Hi mate, yes you can trim the roots, I did it quite a few times. Sweet potato will rot eventually but the vines will grow roots and turn into small individual plants.
@@Fishaholic Sorry there is not much in my comment, you really did not leave much else to say lol. You covered everything from why you were using sweet potato through to how to do it so well there was really nothing else to say other than, great video :) You have a nice clear and concise presentation style, which makes it easy to follow along and understand why you are doing what you are doing.
I am doing well too mate. Just busy with family and work so couldn't spend much time making youtube videos and visit subscribed channels. Thank you for asking too and have a nice week.
Sweet Potato will eventually rot but it take few months. But by then it would have grown heaps of stems and you can immersed the vines and they will develop into heaps of separate plants. Give it a go, success rate is very good. I did try with potato but it started to rot even before rooting. You might have to cut top piece of potato and immersed that in water.
Not too sure mate as I have had a filter in the tank too. Considering the amount of roots and leaves the plant had. I would say quite a bit for the growth of plant.
Hey mate, light through the window should be enough as I grew mine near window too and then moved it to the tank. Even the tank had light for aquarium not for the sweet potato. It is a very low maintenance plant.
Thanks for an excellent video. I tried the sweet potato but I found the roots quite invasive and it created a real mess so eventually I had to get rid of it. I found beetroots much better and less invasive so far.
@@Fishaholic I have beetroots & pothos in my tank. The reason I decided to try beetroot is beetroots are rich in nitric oxide and to produce nitric oxide they need nitrates so I presume they will take up nitrates from the water. Its been about 2 weeks since I put the beetroots and so far the roots seem ok and new leaves every few days. 👍
@@Fishaholic Initially I had the same problem with pothos. Either they would die out or the goldfish ate up the roots & killed them so I got a rectangle planter box and fitted an input pipe pumped by an ordinary internal powerhead filter pump from the aquarium and an output pipe going back to the tank and placed it on top of the aquarium. I filled it with baked clay media and planted the pothos in that. It therefore acts as an additional overhead sump filter to break down ammonia & nitrites as well as the plants to remove ammonia & nitrates from the water. The pothos has been growing this way for about 7 months now with no issues.
Hi Raj, Leaves will sprout soon, they might take bit longer. Depends mostly on the sweet potato. Roots will spread out if there is too much disturbance in the area near roots. I tied the long roots to a suction cup against the glass to keep them in one spot. Try not to disturb the plant so roots can grow downwards.
Hey, how do you prepare the sweet potatoes you grow? Because don't they have pesticides on them? Is it fine to just put the potato into the aquarium? Sorry for the many questions, but i read that washing them decreases their lifespan.
I washed sweet potato before placing half of it in water to remove any dirt, mine was alive for a few months before the potato itself started to rot. I will suggest washing it to keep your fish safe.
How often would you change the potato - because will the water rot it? Is it best just to keep the roots in the water? Thank you for your time... Edit ... ooooops, looks like someone else has asked this...Have noted your reply...
Good to hear mate, you will like the results once sweet potato has roots, stems and leaves. It will absorb most of the nitrates and you won't have to do too much water changes.
Ciao ho scoperto il tuo canale tramite la community e mi sono iscritto.nel mio canale mi occupo di restauri,se ti va passa e considera di iscriverti 😀 grazie e a presto🤗
Submerged and emerged plants are both good. Sweet potato will only filter tank water, however amazon sword will oxygenate the water on top of filtration. I hope it make sense.
Regular potatoes should work too but might not live for too long. Sweet Potato In my tank has been in water for over 3 months and it is still healthy and growing. Give it a go and see how you go mate

I have seen a lot of people using pothos (not vegetable). You can try normal potatoes too.
@@Fishaholic sir, does it metter which side of potato goes into the water cup?
The pointed end of the sweet potato should face down in the water. Appreciate your comment mate
@@Fishaholic I am sorry again sir, both sides look alike, should I let the potato with the side i think it's the right one for 1 week and if I don't see roots, should I turn on the other side? Or it will grow from both sides anyway.

I love this!!!! What a great idea. I can see babies ALL up in those roots. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate, appreciate your kind words and I am glad that you like the sweet potato plant growing in my fish tank. Have a lovely sunday
@@Fishaholic Thanks and you too.
The best video of how to grow sweet potato in aquarium offering free filtration.
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Great wee project bud. Really enjoyed watching it so thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you Daniel, appreciate your nice words. Enjoy Sunday 😀
@@Fishaholic you too bud a and fantastic week. 👍
Cheers mate
Beautiful video tutorial my friend, I will definitely try with this sweet potato and also with other types of potatoes ... thanks for sharing.
Thank you Marco, i am thinking of trying with a normal potato myself to see how long it last in the fish tank
Great Ideas! Thanks my friend!
Thank you friend
Thank you so much for this video...I put one in my HOB and almost immediately started rotting. Gonna try putting it into a cup so it can grow roots first.
Try in a cup and I hope it works for you. You will be amazed to see how beautiful the plant will look once it takes off. Wish you good luck.
What a cool idea! thanks for sharing!
Thank you and have a nice Sunday
Wow .. Nice video.. Thank you for sharing.. New friend

Thank you friend
@@Fishaholic welcome. Travel to my palace. Thanks

nice tips... thank you
Thanks for the share buddy, not a bad idea
Thanks mate, appreciate your comment
It's probably not idea to add a sweet potato to a goldfish tank since the goldfish will eat the roots, won't they?
They definitely will make a big mess
Great video, looks amazing, so when are you going to harvest some delicious patatoes😁
Cheers mate, I added the plant for filtration only and removed it from the tank when the potato started to rot. Unfortunately no delicious potatoes for me. Appreciate your comment and enjoy your weekend
Awesome video this really helped me in my idea. Especially how to make it float! Thank you!!
Appreciate it Steve

Love this idea
This might be a dumb question, but does it matter what end you put in the water?
Hi Erika, the pointed end in water will give you good results. Roots will grow from all part of potato submerged in water and exposed part will produce leaves.
Can you trim the roots? and what if the vines are all grown out and the sweet potato begins to rot. What do you do with the vines?
Hi mate, yes you can trim the roots, I did it quite a few times. Sweet potato will rot eventually but the vines will grow roots and turn into small individual plants.
@@Fishaholic what parts of the vines should I cut out and how should I grow them efficiently to obtain plants?
Great video but is it possible to do it with other similar vegetables and if so can you do it
Thank you Nada, it can be done with other veritable for sure but sweet potato is far more easier and beneficial.
6:23 Great video. You are doing very well on RUclips. When's the next video coming out? Thumbs Up 👍
Thanks bud, next video will be out this Friday.
Very good information. Thants you, my friend.

Hi I joined the channel and I put like, Marco Isidori sends me
Thank you and have a nice week
Wow so amazing frnd, 😮😮
Thank you friend and have a good weekend
Brilliant video and I'd love one of these but I think my bn pleco's would eat it
Thank you Jack, these grow faster than pothos and does a good job in filtering the water.
Good video you could do the nail thing with the styrofoam also
Agree Slayer, never thought of it at the time. Thank you
Wow great great Video 🤩💞🌈✨🌟💜💫🌈✨🌟💜🌈✨💜✨‼️
Thank you friend
Hi :)~my friend and like you video💖💖💖🌹😍💖👍
Thank you and have a nice weekend
Loved the video. I normally keep my water level higher, can the whole potato be submersed?
Hi Pete, Keep some part of potato above the water level for the stems to grow. Once you get some vines then remove the potatoes and submerse the vine.
@@Fishaholic Thanx.
You are most welcome
Assalamu'alaikum salam silaturrahmi... Nice
Thank you and have a nice weekend
Grow Sweet Potato In Aquarium?? wowww
Thank you friend, appreciate you stopping by my channel 😀
This is so cool I want to try this !!!
Thank you friend and have a good weekend
Doesn't the sweet potato rot after some time, partially immersed in water? Can we do the same with potatoes?
Sweet Potato will eventually rot but it take few months. But by then it would have grown heaps of stems and you can immersed the vines and they will develop into heaps of separate plants. Give it a go, success rate is very good.
I did try with potato but it started to rot even before rooting. You might have to cut top piece of potato and immersed that in water.
I want tp try as well but I heard that the roots, leaves and stems are poisonous to fish😢 Is that true? Do your fish nip on them?
I have had no issue at all as the roots always grew underwater. If you are too concerned, then try to keep leaves off the water
@@Fishaholic ok! Thanks for the advise😘
No problem at all
Hi
How much nitrate it took away from the water with the sweet potato
Not too sure mate as I have had a filter in the tank too. Considering the amount of roots and leaves the plant had. I would say quite a bit for the growth of plant.
@@Fishaholic
i have indoor tank near a window...do you think I need grow light for sweet potato?
i will want to try
Hey mate, light through the window should be enough as I grew mine near window too and then moved it to the tank. Even the tank had light for aquarium not for the sweet potato. It is a very low maintenance plant.
Like☘️👌
Does it requires light
Room light is enough to keep the plant going. Aquarium light will give plant some light too
Nice
Thank you friend, have a nice week
Thanks for an excellent video. I tried the sweet potato but I found the roots quite invasive and it created a real mess so eventually I had to get rid of it. I found beetroots much better and less invasive so far.
Thank you for your feedback, I have never tried beetroot but will investigate bit further.
@@Fishaholic I have beetroots & pothos in my tank. The reason I decided to try beetroot is beetroots are rich in nitric oxide and to produce nitric oxide they need nitrates so I presume they will take up nitrates from the water. Its been about 2 weeks since I put the beetroots and so far the roots seem ok and new leaves every few days. 👍
I haven't have much luck with Pothos, they grow roots and grow but growth suddenly stops and plant starts to die
@@Fishaholic Initially I had the same problem with pothos. Either they would die out or the goldfish ate up the roots & killed them so I got a rectangle planter box and fitted an input pipe pumped by an ordinary internal powerhead filter pump from the aquarium and an output pipe going back to the tank and placed it on top of the aquarium.

It therefore acts as an additional overhead sump filter to break down ammonia & nitrites as well as the plants to remove ammonia & nitrates from the water. The pothos has been growing this way for about 7 months now with no issues.
Can you put this in an axolotl aquarium?
You could always use sweet potato vine in the tank and it will help with filtration.
Yup, I have sweet potatoes growing in my axolotl tank. One of my guys loves hanging out in the jungle of roots :)
My one root well but I couldn't able to see leaves and root get out of water could you tell why
Hi Raj, Leaves will sprout soon, they might take bit longer. Depends mostly on the sweet potato. Roots will spread out if there is too much disturbance in the area near roots.
I tied the long roots to a suction cup against the glass to keep them in one spot. Try not to disturb the plant so roots can grow downwards.
Alright I'm gonna give this a gom but I'm going to cut my sweet potato small and try it that way bc I have HUGE sweet potatoes
Wish you best of luck, hopefully they will sprout in couple of weeks
big thumbs up
Thank you friend
Can i use this sweet potato in my goldfish tank??
Shouldn't be any issue as long as goldfish goldfish doesn't make a big mess off the roots
@@Fishaholic thank you so much
No problem at all
What light are you using on that tank??
Hi, it is a normal light I bought from a hardware store, came with a plug to connect to power.
Can sweet potato vines survive under water?
Does it matter which end goes in the water??
The pointier end should go in the water. You should be able to find some with roots emerging which will make it easier for you.
@@Fishaholic ok thanks!
No worries
thank you
Thank you Ali, appreciate it
Brawooooooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 thankyuuu
Thank you Salim, I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you Rafiur, everything is okay over here and I hope its okay on your end too.
@@Fishaholic Good to know, here in NYC it hit is really hard but now it is getting better day by day.
How often would you change the potato - because will the water rot it? Is it best just to keep the roots in the water? Thank you for your time...
Edit ... ooooops, looks like someone else has asked this...Have noted your reply...
Hi Rosemary, mine did rot after few months. But by then I had heaps of separate plants that grew from same potato. Appreciate your comment
What do I do with the vines once the potato rots? Can I pluck them from the potato and put them directly in the tank? Will they grow their own roots?
Vines will grow their own roots so you can remove sweet potato even before it starts to rot.
started this 3 days now
Good to hear mate, you will like the results once sweet potato has roots, stems and leaves. It will absorb most of the nitrates and you won't have to do too much water changes.
Am trying out the potato
Thank you
Everything was upbeat about this video

Just put the roots under water potato won’t rot so fast
Wow that is cool I might try that! I uploaded a video last night come check it out if your interested
Thank you mate, will definitely do
Just put 3 tooth picks in the potato to keep it up🤯
Is there any real benefit to sweet potato over say amazon swords ?
Submerged and emerged plants are both good. Sweet potato will only filter tank water, however amazon sword will oxygenate the water on top of filtration. I hope it make sense.
