I had no idea that some plants just "die back" when first planted; I always thought my tank was just uninhabitable! Thank you for this video. It makes me feel a lot more confident in retrying a planted aquarium!
Thanks for a great video Cory! I love the way you do the "KISS" (keep it super simple) method of explaining things for us beginner folks.... lots of info in easy to understand language. The tetras in the tank behind you look AWESOME!!
The tetras and other fish going _crazy_ for the sera o-nip tab....SUPER COOL!!!! I love how it adds interest to the background. I would reckon that you did it on purpose and I love it!!!
Silver Dollars did the same to mine. They destroyed 55 gallons worth of overgrown Java fern. That stopped after I started feeding them wafers meant for bottom feeders.
Noob plant videos are the best... its like your making them for me! I'm in the 1/10 of 1% that can't grow duckweed. So far my Java fern and anubias are doing well.
You do not want duckweed...I got it for free from a plant from the store, it eventually almost covered my entire 55g. I found out just soon enough that if it covered the entire thing it could have killed off everything from sealing off the gas exchange. It also too FOREVER to get rid of and when it dies it leaves tiny white pedals floating that if your water evaporates they will get dried to the glass above the water and its a huge pain. Plus they have tiny hair like roots that if it dies fall off, so when you put your hand in the waterit instantly makes a huge mess. That and the fact it all ends up stuck in your filter is why I will never have it again.
Wanted a suggestion....i have a 200L tank tht holds my discus.. dwarf gorami... tetra... Molly.... wats best bottom feeders to get tht will be okay with the little fish family i have....
I remember I had some anubias in a one of my tanks and I trimmed off a few leaves and my mom got mad at me because she thought I had ruined on of the plastic aquarium plants.
Hi, I'm not sure if I got the tip from this video or another, but you said to put pothos roots into the HOB filter to help with cleaning the water. Well, I took the advice and 2 days ago put some rooted pothos in 2 of my Flu-val 30 gallon filters. When I did a water change today, I found that the extra effort the filter motor had to expend actually almost over-heated it! To the point where the plastic of the heater that screws onto the plastic of the filter box were both melted somewhat. Luckily I caught it sooner than later, and not too much damage was done. I think I will pass on using that tip! LOL
Can you please do a video on current co2 options, gas/liquid/tablet and costs vs efficiency? I’m looking to add co2 to a 40L tank, but the only one I see available in my Lfs is tropica 60, it’s like £25 (32$) for a month supply of co2, and the box that goes in the aquarium is like half the size of a nano tank 😂
i,m using gagang air (indonesia language) gagang air that plant can live in ph 6-7.5 below that or up of that they will die sign of our water are not good for our fish @. @ cause gagang air can live in ph 6-7.5 that plant help me a lot to know how is going with my water for my fish
It made me so happy to see Cryptocorne on the list! Easily a favourite plant of mine because they grow so bushy, my guys love swimming through them! I'll have to look into the Vallis one, looks beautiful! (I love that huge neon tank behind you too!) I do seem to struggle keeping my Amazon Sword alive lately, I'll have to look into using root tabs over liquid fertilizer I think. I have new growth on the bottom, but the existing big leaves are just going brown so quickly....
They grow better, and bigger if u take them out of the pot. Most of the time there are several plants in one pot, so u want to seperate them and give the roots big space to grow 👍 Hope this helped you😀👌
Funny because it's true, I have a small Anubius that used to be in my 50 but got tossed around and munched on by goldfish then played it in my 10 which I guess one of the reasons it never did so well was because I planted it...in my sand substrate... Ahhh big mistake it would grow new leaves but very slowly the pants is really small now but alive. It's growing little by little I hope it gets nice. If the algea would it still growing on it. SMH
Hey AQ, I'm loving that tank in the background. What's the fuzzy plant in the left foreground beside Cory's head? Does that tank just have a Fluval 3.0 light on it?
So I have anubias barteri in my tank, it's planted into the substrate and it's doing great. I have like 2 new leafs a month, maybe even 3 it's really rewarding.
Cory, I need your expertise on something.. Ok I purchased 3 swordtail(1male 2female) about 3-4 days ago. So upon arrival 45min from my LFS, one of female swordtail died during transit. Then yesterday the male expired. I bought 12 platy & mollys 7 tiger barbs{lil' assholes}noticed a few trying to bully) at same time and they're all doing fine in two 20gal quarantine so far.... My water tests are at level they should be & current is at minimum so not too harsh on the fish but still circulating. Dude I'm at a loss here.. In my 240 i've got assorted Angels , neon tetras, lyretails, multiple types gourami, assortment of catfish even a few small Oscars (yes in the same community, so far only eat pellets not other fishes)😬.. My problem with swordtails🤷♂️.. Do you have any ideas what could be causing them to die. I noticed the ones that died actually appeared acting abnormal behavior such as like standing vertical(swim bladder damage???) also appear to tremble and stayed t bottom of aquarium. I acclimated them properly, so i don't think that's it. I have kept fish for around 30yr and never seen this type behavior. Am i doing something wrong??Oh also lost one male platy, and today another male is acting weird(sick) no females🤷♂️.. I so glad i quarantined these fish. If they have some disease it'd decimate my main tank. Any suggestions greatly appreciated,..😎👍
Hi! I need help. I'm not new to fish keeping whatsoever (videos on my channel proves that) but I am new to the plant world. I was gifted a TETRA 5 GALLON LED AQUARIUM KIT from Wal Mart for my bday and I want to do a 5 gallon planted aquarium for my betta fish. I have been doing research and a lot of reading. I am thinking of going for low light plants; mainly anubias and java fern. I understand that with these two plants, I do not have to plant them in the substrate but instead tie/glue them to decor like rocks and wood. The 5 gallon is currently running and cycled. Will the LED light that come with the kit support these two types of plants (Java fern and Anubias) and how long do I have to leave the lights on for? I will be buying a timer for my light. And do I have to add any supplement to the water for nutrients since I only have 1 fish (a betta) in the tank and an assassin snail?
So I somehow manage to kill jungle val, amazon swords, java fern, java moss, and probably some other plants. The only ones I can keep are Anubis, dwarf sag, and some other plant i forgot the name of. No idea why, had dirt capped by gravel, had some good lights. Did not dose Co2. My plants would always melt for some reason (assuming they were grown out of water). But ya...call me the easy made complicated guy.
Does anyone have success growing Bolbitis Difformis plant underwater for more than 3 months ? Amazon and Ebay sell a lot of Bolbitis Difformis but don't see many RUclips videos about this plant. Bolbitis Difformis baby leaf fern is not the same plant as Bolbitis Heudelotii African Water Fern.
My 30 gallon aquarium has been set up for a week now but no fish yet. I'd like to add some live plants to the few plastic ones I already have. I notice in the videos the plants come in pots. When I get them home do I take them out of the pots and bury them in the gravel? Or do I bury it pot and all in the gravel? Or is it neither and just set the pot on the gravel in the tank ? I could use a little more instruction please because I've no experience with live aquatic plants for my aquarium.
so, i dont know if this comment section still active or not, but i plant on planting sagitaria sambulata and hydrilla type plants in my small aquarium in my case its not really an aquarium but with current covid situation i figure on doing some test learning about aquarium plants and aquascape, im still on collage oversees so when my school decide to start i will have to leave home and no one will be able to take care of it, though i do plan on doing large tank after i graduate, anyone have a though on recomendation to plants on small container? ( like 15x15 but 34 tall container, hard water ) any comments are appreciated :D
I have goldfish and use aquarium salt every time I clean the tank. Just a few tablespoon. It seems that the salt would not be conducive for the plants. Am I correct on that?
Scarlett Temples are great with Gouramis, Plecos and other fish that eat plants, they don’t touch them. Btw my Leaf fish would have a feast on them Neons in the back!!!
Hi Cory! Help! I got a lotus plant sent from your store and dummy me tried to “pull” it out of the basket and I pulled the entire stem of the plant off the bulb! Will the stem grow in the substrate without the bulb? Will the bulb send up new plant shoots?? I feel so stupid!
Can anyone in looking at this comment please list off the plants in the tank behind him from left to right....would be extremely helpful I can see 4 id like to use in a setup, still a little green over here...no pun intended.
How do I take the plants out of the pots? Or do they just Stay there? I have sand as the base in my tank will plants still thrive in that environment as long as I’m using plant tabs?

the shock of water changes and light frequencies being different than the old environment cause de foliation in all plants, air or water.

I just learned a valuable lesson.
A single Female Sword tail can turn a 4ft planted tank into a barren wasteland in only 5 weeks.
My swordtails never touched my plants. The Platies will eat the algae off of them, but thats about it.
Silver Dollars did the same to mine. They destroyed 55 gallons worth of overgrown Java fern. That stopped after I started feeding them wafers meant for bottom feeders.
I really appreciate all the work you put into educating us folks.....you inspire me to do more......thanks again.
Noob plant videos are the best... its like your making them for me! I'm in the 1/10 of 1% that can't grow duckweed. So far my Java fern and anubias are doing well.
