I use pothos in my betta tank and he loves it. He lingers under the roots and I can tell it calms him because he's still. I know bettas like places to linger under so its perfect.
hello i heard its not safe with betta fish ???? please let me know coz i have a a betta fish and want to try this plant with my betta fish ... and how long have u been keeping both together .. waiting for the reply n happy new year 😁
@@dij7a my Betta fish loves hanging around the pothos cuttings with roots in his 10 gallon aquarium. I have the pothos for 3 months already. My Betta is 3 yrs old!
I have a 50 year old pothos plant. My grandma has kept it by cutting and propagating the cuttings, then throwing away the old, leggy stuff. She gave me 3 cuttings, which are now four. The fourth is running out of my filter. Awesome plant!
1 have 13 tanks and have pothos in every one of them. I love it, I actually have started many house plants this way. I have started peace lilies,regular pothos, more go den pothos, spider plants, purple passion, philiodenron, etc. It all works. I now have an abundance of house plants.
Ive never put a pothos on my tanks, however, I do use the "dirty" water from water changes as a fertilizer once a week to fertilize all of our plants and it's INCREDIBLY noticeable how much our plants like it! Btw thank you for actually knowing how to take care of your fish, too many people dont know/care about water conditions.
Just put some cuttings into my Betta tank that was overrun with algae after a few weeks of being set up. Hopefully it helps with the excess nitrates and food decomposition. I have a pothos with huge runners that I needed to snip and my tanks needed some help, so it's worked out perfectly
I have this plant growing on my palm trees in Florida. The plant looks small like that when first planted but as it grows up the tree and gets bigger, the leaves get to grow about a foot in diameter for each new leaf. It's an awesome plant.
I've used pothos in my goldfish tank for two years and they got massive in size to the point where I eventually had to pot them ... I love these plants and highly recommend using them..!!
Lifewithpets yes..!!! I wish I could show you how massive they got. They began crawling along the walls ...their nickname came to be true "Devil's Ivy" it just won't die.😂
Naqualix _ BASTARDO! Hope you did it while she was sleeping? Just show her the tank after a week and she’ll be amazed how good the plant looks and start using your water change bucket to douse her entire garden!
I have two aquariums one in the kitchen the other in the bedroom. The one in the kitchen is a 10g, 55g in the bedroom. I’ve had Pathos in both tanks for two years. Both tanks are planted and borderline overcrowded. I’ve attached the Pathos to under the cabinets, which I had prior to the plants I had installed leds for additional lighting in the kitchen. I have the one in the bedroom growing toward my window.once it reaches the window I will have it grow up and down vertically until window is full. So keep in mind while the plant is getting nutrients it will do even more if it has adequate lighting.
Thank you so much for making this video! I got a Pothos plant a few weeks ago and this morning I decided to use some cuttings in my fish tanks. And then this showed up in my subscriptions! It's like you read my mind and you sure saved me a lot of Google searching! :) Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I have several of these as houseplants but never thought to use them in my aquarium. I've been struggling with nitrate levels & this seems to be the solution! Thanks for your help :)
I put a pothos in my aquarium about a year ago. I used a long piece with established roots and planted the roots under the gravel with fertilizer tabs. Roots also grew along the stem. Recently all the leaves fell off and began re-growing under the water. So far it's doing great. Kinda weird
excellent video, good knowledge, it's great for nitrate, its a easy mistake to think a regular filter will reduce nitrate, they wont they will convert ammonia and nitrite to nitrate, doesn't matter how big or how much filtration you have, none of the filters will get rid of nitrate unless specific media inside for this job, water changes are the number one way to reduce your nitrates, its the most annoying part of the hobby especially if you have 8 tanks haha, but its part of keeping things on track.. Pothos is i'd say the number one natural way to reduce nitrate but careful in a planted tank as you may find that the pothos uses so much your other delicate plants will suffer, so keep your eyes on it :) i recently got a pothos planter sump going and its reduced the levels dramatically.
@@souvikbhai7860 i used a clip like whats on your heater that has the suction cup to stick to the glass..roots in the water and leaves above water. I started with 3 single leaves and now 2 years later have about 30 feet of it :) maybe i'll do a video on this soon. hope that helps...
acheck4skate I wouldn’t say no problem. Every week or 2 a part will get soggy and so you have to cut that piece off. But for the most part I’ve had the same plant in that tank for like 2 months and it’s still alive and growing more roots and leaves
i have a heavily planted 20 gallon. with nutrient substrate and root tabs and liquid fertilizer... i will try the pothos for sure to see if it helps the nitrates! i dont have a nitrate problem but i do have rams that are sensitive to water quality so the lower i can get it the better!
Thank you for your information! Was contemplating starting a goldfish aquarium but was hesitant knowing how much work needed to reduce the nitrate levels.
I've been scrolling the comments for ages now waiting to find someone who had used them with a planted tank. Thanks for commenting with the info I needed. Good to know!
I use it in my Female Betta tank. She has a bigger tank than my Male Bettas but in just a week her water was BROWN. I did not understand because she is smaller than the boys and more water. So I took my pothos and planted it in her tank. She absolutely loves it and brown water is no more and it has been two weeks. I just did a water change yesterday because it was time and the was was CLEAR. Pothis are amazing. I recommend! One thing I started doing is taking the water from the Male Betta tanks that I removed for a water change and use it for my new Marble Queen Pothos that my great grandmother mailed me. They recovered instantly and they are absorbing the nutrients from the water. It's a wonderful way to give them nutrients without any chemical fettilizers and also lowers the amount of wasted water because you are reusing the fish's "dirty" water to feed your pothos. :)
Excellent channel! I've been watching for some months now and I have so much respect for fish keepers who do their research to care for their finned aqua pets. These fish are in wonderful hands! :-)
Lifewithpets We all do and the fact that you admit it and learn from it makes me respect you even more! I just had to say something after watching Murphy's rescue video. I LOVE that you went a step above and tested and contacted them about the poor care bettas receive.
Pothos has been amazing for my tank. I have a 10 gallon tank and I used to have to do water changes allot every week. Now, I can go 2 to 3 weeks between a change and the fish are thriving!! My pothos has been so healthy that I've been able to take cuttings from those original starts and plant them for friends 😊
@@sandidsaman7723 it's been amazing for my tank. I had a Betta when I wrote this and it was just fine. Didn't seem to even notice or care about the pothos.
My goodness, this is why I love youTube; people like you that bring us great videos like this one. I love this plant and have not had luck with them for some reason, but, your video has shed some light on what I was doing wrong on top of other uses for it when I set up my fancy goldfish tank again. I wish I knew this when I had my first goldfish tank, sure would have saved me time and money. Thanks
Thanks for this video! I bought one this afternoon and now it's hanging above the tank, i have an open one. It's also really appealling for the eye too...
we've got one of these Pothos, prolifically creating a bit of a jungle out there in the enclosed carport. Up until 5 mins ago. it's only job has been to wind itself along all those 15+ metres of clothesline and rafters, oh! and to shade the aquarium out there... It's a bit after 2am here, and have already just now gone out, and cut some off and placed some in the tank, and the external filter buckets... glad I found your vid!
Hi, thanks for sharing! I have this in 3 of my tanks. I didn't do cuttings, I took out the plant, rinsed really good, trimmed the roots, and put it in the back where I had an opening. Should I have only used a cutting? One is doing super good. The roots look like yours. The other one not as good, the third one is in the filter box. Haven't checked the roots since I moved it. All three of these are planted tanks. I needed to lower nitrates. They are going down. Thanks 😊
Thanks! I was going to do that but i was worried I wouldn't get it washed well enough. I know others have done it the way you have with great success. If is working for you don't change a thing!
My pothos and mini monstera have never been happier than before living in my fish tank. Plus my 10 gallon is so low maintenance because it filters the water so well! Getting a variegated monstera to grow in my 5 gallon set up
omggggg can't get over how cute the fish are! Very informative video, with how big my pothos has been growing I might just have to give some cuttings to a few friends! I'm sure their fish will be happy 😄
Im Getting 2 Sm Tiger Oscars This Week Can U Message Me With Details Pics/ Instructions How 2 Make /Use Homemade Filter Unit Please ?? They R A Dirtier Fish & I Need Advice On Best Filter To Use ??? Help Advice Please asap
Hi! Great info and video. I most certainly use them in a heavily planted tank, six to be exact. No problem, as I fertilize using dry EI METHOD. Works great with water changes once a week. Three shrimp tanks included.
I have used them only for a year with six anubias plants and an amazon sword. I have not had any issues as of yet. Twenty high with two bettas, one tetra, and six white cloud minnows. I use seven drops of flourish very rarely, it used to be twice a month. Two roots tab capsules every six months.
My tap water is naturally very high in nitrates - 40ppm. I’ve always struggled with trying to reduce it in my 60L freshwater tank. I tried planting the tank up and using chemicals but nothing seems to help. So now I’m trying devils ivy. I’m praying it works as well as everyone says it does 🤞🏻
i use Pothos for all my Chameleon enclosures and im in the process of setting and small tank for a Betta fish im getting soon. This is a relly cool idea as my tanks going to be fully bio. thanks for the idea :)
Thank you for this. I'm having issues with my nitrate levels which is i think above 160ppm on my goldfish tank. I've read that pothos is a poisonous plant and after cutting it, you need to let the roots grow first outside the tank before placing it in. Is this the case or its not needed anymore? Thank you very much!
The pothes plant can be grown in a vase with rocks and water, to use in tank I took off all the leaves and put the stem in the bottom of tank and new leaves will grow under water and not rot
Please change the water at least once every week so that the plants get fresh nutrients, and also clean the bottle or vase before changing the water. A bit of charcoal can be added to bottled waterplants to keep the water sweet, is what I had read.
Wow! Really. I was told they never grow new leaves on the empty stems. How about growing out of water in the soil? Can you bury them while still attached to the mother plantfor them to sprout new roots and leaves?
Pothos works great in all my tanks. It eats nutrients greedily and is my most effective filtering plant. They look great and are easy to keep going for a lifetime.
Cool video, we're growing Hardy orchids in our fancy goldfish tank. I also run an active bog filter on the pond for the same reason, great at sucking nitrates out of the water column. Have you ever used the biohome medias? They take forever to get going but work great once they're fully cycled!
This answers most of my questions, thanks 👍🌿🍃👍 off to home Depot to get several now for my 75 gallon community tank. I won't be placing them in HOB, I've got 2 large open slots in between the filters that would work perfectly. The tank is highly oxygenated and does have a little bit of an alge problem. Don't know why I didn't think of this before!!! I sub'd as well🐟🐠🌿🐠🐟
You have the best video on the Pothos Plant in your Aquarium out there. Very well done! I enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing! Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t carry this plant. Where can I get it?
Sounds like an amazing idea for a my betta. I've seen a video where someone used a sweet potato that grew roots into the water. I'm hoping this may be the same effect maybe on a smaller level. The only problem is I already have plants in my tank. So I'm abit concerned about the pothos killing them off
thank you so much for the information, we got tons of those plants in our backyard and have no clue that it can help me with my aquarium algae condition
Hi Sheila.. I love this.. I intend on doing this for some of my tanks. My concern I don't think they will have enough light so I'll need to rig up lights above them. I have some plants by my windows and I know they don't require full sunlight so I may give it a try before I hang lights. Great video.. Have a great weekend!!
Don't just get it from the store, tear apart each stem all the way down to the roots and just plop it in roots and all. Follow the tips in this video!!! If you cut it like shown in the video, the roots re-grow about 5x faster. (Learned this from my experience being a complete plant noob). Apparently there are "ground roots" vs "water roots" or something like that. If you cut at an angle like in the video, you will see new root growth very fast (3-5 days, based on other conditions). Awesome video, just what I was hoping to see. This pretty much confirms my experience with this plant over the past few months.
I have pothos in my 10G planted tank with a single beta and everything is happy and growing. The beta loves the Pothos roots, chills in them hammock style.
This is a situation where I really needed that Oxford comma lol At first I read it as sounding like “you want to put it in root and all” I was about to jump on saying “that is not how you clone a plant”, which is what she’s teaching us how to do lol Have a good one, thanks for the laugh!
The G.Pothos I put into my tank is growing wildly and the giant goldfish enjoys nibbling on the root system. He pulls the whole plant under the water and usually I leave it there until I get around to putting it back above water after several weeks. That doesn't seem to bother the plant...it's alive and well.
When the roots get long can you trim them down I have them in a 75g with other plants an there doing fine an thanks for being really detailed about everything

Did you condition your betta water and if so did the plant cutting still form roots?

Lucky
I doubt you have bothered to test this, but do you know if one is better than the others at absorbing nutrients?
what kind of fish you have going ?
Arrow head vine and Mexican Petunia have taken off for me too in this way. No soil just on hangon back filter or suspended over tank water
@@jmha2428 never heard of them plants

Pothos plants are AWESOME!! I've been adding cutting to ALL my tanks. Great video!
Thanks! It helps it's a good looking plant too.

Same smh...
You’re so funny 😂
same tho
😂😂😂
When I lived in the SW (Tucson), I used to use my water changes to water my peppers, potatoes and onions. They loved it!
I love the Golden Pothos and it's on the list for a must have! I love that they grow well in tanks too! Thanks so much for sharing!!🌸

My mom let's me cut her long pothos plant and use it in my my aquarium. :)
I started my plant a month and doing fairly good.
I would take a cutting with more leaves at least 4-6. These plants are very easy to keep alive and hard to kill. Great video though!!

No problem....i wasnt expecting a reply but glad to make ur day😘
I love them i have them in my 75 gallon oscar tank. The roots makes a nice looking background
Very nice im happy to see my pothos grow
Thanks for brilliant idea
Cool video, we're growing Hardy orchids in our fancy goldfish tank. I also run an active bog filter on the pond for the same reason, great at sucking nitrates out of the water column.
Have you ever used the biohome medias? They take forever to get going but work great once they're fully cycled!
Yes, the media in the tank is the generic version. It did a great job in the tank but you're right it took a long time to fully work.
This answers most of my questions, thanks 👍🌿🍃👍 off to home Depot to get several now for my 75 gallon community tank. I won't be placing them in HOB, I've got 2 large open slots in between the filters that would work perfectly. The tank is highly oxygenated and does have a little bit of an alge problem. Don't know why I didn't think of this before!!! I sub'd as well🐟🐠🌿🐠🐟
Thanks.
This is alot like hydroponically cloning.
Wonderful! I'm going to give this a try. Thank you.
Brilliant video
Your Goldfish are so cute. I’m wanting to do this for my Granddaughter.
Thank you. Goldfish are great fish but require a lot of work and very large tanks.
You have the best video on the Pothos Plant in your Aquarium out there. Very well done! I enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing! Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t carry this plant. Where can I get it?
Sounds like an amazing idea for a my betta. I've seen a video where someone used a sweet potato that grew roots into the water. I'm hoping this may be the same effect maybe on a smaller level. The only problem is I already have plants in my tank. So I'm abit concerned about the pothos killing them off
thank you so much for the information, we got tons of those plants in our backyard and have no clue that it can help me with my aquarium algae condition
Awesome 👌👌
Great pothos video but those fish are cute as heck!
I kinda took some from my mall... Shhhhhhhhh (they didn't mind)
InfinityPets that's funny
Haha, same here. But I took them from school.
I took some from a neighbor but too bad it grew over the fence so it’s technically mine?

great vid i also use it in all my tanks and cant be leave i ever did with out it
Thank you so much for your video!
I have added this plant to my Bettas bowls and they lived a long time with it. It orospered.
That plant looks really nice!
But I think I can't put it in my planted tanks!
Great video!
_Keep up the good work!_
*Thumbs up!*
Danny's Aquariums....Works fine in planted tanks.
What if you have moss balls in your tank can you still use these for 3 gallon tanks?
pothos are a amazing plant thanks for making a video about it really enjoy ur channel
Thank you.
I was waiting for this video, marvelous!
Thank you!
Hi Sheila.. I love this.. I intend on doing this for some of my tanks. My concern I don't think they will have enough light so I'll need to rig up lights above them. I have some plants by my windows and I know they don't require full sunlight so I may give it a try before I hang lights. Great video.. Have a great weekend!!
Thank Deb, I'd give it a try first, where I have my plant is very low light and it grows really well. Enjoy your weekend too!
Oh that's encouraging.. I may get working on it over the weekend.. thanks Sheila!
so how was it?
i am planning to add pothos to my betta tank
but i am afraid of losing my bett
fish are so cute😋
Always a desert in my house concerning house plants. Good video!
@@morticco do people really wash meat?
Don't just get it from the store, tear apart each stem all the way down to the roots and just plop it in roots and all. Follow the tips in this video!!! If you cut it like shown in the video, the roots re-grow about 5x faster. (Learned this from my experience being a complete plant noob). Apparently there are "ground roots" vs "water roots" or something like that. If you cut at an angle like in the video, you will see new root growth very fast (3-5 days, based on other conditions). Awesome video, just what I was hoping to see. This pretty much confirms my experience with this plant over the past few months.
do u use it in planted tanks? if u do, did u have any issue with it?
I have pothos in my 10G planted tank with a single beta and everything is happy and growing. The beta loves the Pothos roots, chills in them hammock style.
Also I do use root tabs for the in tank plants
This is a situation where I really needed that Oxford comma lol
At first I read it as sounding like “you want to put it in root and all”
I was about to jump on saying “that is not how you clone a plant”, which is what she’s teaching us how to do lol
Have a good one, thanks for the laugh!
The G.Pothos I put into my tank is growing wildly and the giant goldfish enjoys nibbling on the root system. He pulls the whole plant under the water and usually I leave it there until I get around to putting it back above water after several weeks. That doesn't seem to bother the plant...it's alive and well.
When the roots get long can you trim them down I have them in a 75g with other plants an there doing fine an thanks for being really detailed about everything
Yes, I cut the roots back and it didn't make any difference to the plant.
Very good,i will test
Awesome... appreciate your efforts greatly. I am going for it...
Great video love it!!!!!!!!!!!
So can I just cut off a little piece of my plant and stick it in my tank? And would you have to put in root tans and stuff like that?
citlalli ramirez STRAIGHT IN ! Cut and stick it in the rear of the tank hanging half in, half out.
Your goldfish are adorable! :)
