Really liked the Gameboy Color in the background intro.
Came for the plant name, stayed for you showing youre not just here for the views. You're extremely helpful to a beginner like me!
After he gave the answer for the viewers sake, I made sure to watch the whole video. Thanks a lot man!!
Can never understand why people want it instantly, surely that's the beauty of it watching the tank mature/grow and develop, great video btw
Well, there are also a few pieces of advice that should be said because the video author is omitting them even for Dwarf Hairgrass. It might sound obvious, but people need to remember that:
- especially at the beginning, don't let into any fishes that might move the soil, no matter what soil you use.
Like Plecos, Bamboo Shrimps or Corydoras. From personal experience, there is a huge chance that they will uproot any Hairgrass. Accidentally or not.
- don't use strong filters which move water a lot.
There are fishes that like calm water and these which prefer moving water. But Dwarf Hairgrass prefers calm water, especially with a "light" substrate.
- prepare yourself for a lot of floating plants. It just will happen.
- don't go too fast on trimming it. Give them a week or two to put some roots out there. Otherwise, you will most probably uproot them yourself.
That's all errors I made myself.
Do you even need trimming? Is it because the old leaves turn brown?
i’ve never thought about temperature affecting plant growth before! thanks for the great tips!
I think temperature affects everything, even the gender balance of my fish.
Its worth mentioning that other eleocharis carpets are easy and look great too. eleocharis acicularis mini is one of my favourites, but might require a bit more energy than parvula.
I love Eleocharis but I did not get any success with it 😅
Would love to see a sand planted tank comparison video
Would love a comparison between sand and aquarium soil.
Kudos for telling us straight up what the plant is, thanks man
Will the dwarf grass grow in gravel substrate (the little rocks)?
I know you're a microbiologist so I'd trust that food and certainly buy it if it's available in my country.
Thanks Nix, ya we are working slowely towards that, whats country you in?
I'm in the Philippines. The dominant players here are, of course, Hikari and a Chinese brand named Porpoise.
Your brand actually has a nice ring to it so I think people will try it out of curiosity, and eventually find out how good it is.
@@NiX_aKi hopfully we can get there! Much work to do 😁🤝
I agree.. I’m based in Taiwan.
Glad I found this vid. I'm looking into mini leaf as a carpet for my daughter's tank. I was wondering if I could keep basic gravel and put somthing like the soil you used here on top of that. Its only a 5 gallon tank so I'm not sure.
This is the video I needed, I've been stuck on which carpeting plant to go with I wanted to try monte carlo but after watching this I'll save the MC for another time, I was giving some free dwarf baby tears, I'm definitely not prepared for it so 🤞🏽
I used one Eleocharis 'mini' culture from 1-2-Grow to fill out one of my nano tanks,
It cost 11.95 plus tax and It separated into about 15-16 plugs.
I have one media bag of flourite capped with 1 inch of eco complete and capped with 2.5 inches of blasting silica.
After 8 weeks the individual 'plugs' have all grown to the size of the original tissue culture.
medium light, no fertilizer with 6 pygmy corys.
🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Truth be told. I never watched any of the other acquarium videos to the end. But, I stayed on yours.. thankyou for sharing your knowledge. I like and appreciate your sincerity on the subject. May your brand see prosperity year after year and also turn out the best in the market.
What’s the plant on the tree please
A side by side comparison would be awesome to see.
That carpet looks great.
👍💖👍
I'm definitely in for a experiment. Maybe all sand, and all gravel with just root tabs, vs nutrient rich soil......
I have a question how you clean the carpet? for example the fish poop, you don't use gravel cleaner? sorry if my question is stupid i am beginner 😂
Monte Carlo. Can't get it to carpet or move past the original spot I planted it for anything. Dwarf sag, however, I have an overabundance!
A year later... I would like to add to your Patience Pays Off philosophy. I started a 10g a couple years ago with literally one tissue culture cup of Crypt parva and one of Dwarf Hair Grass. It took two years and a lot of moving the hair grass runners to fill in areas, but I have a full carpet. So you can do it even if you're super broke if you have the big P...Patience. Also, Monte Carlo is possible as a carpet in low or even natural light. I have a cube tank that only gets natural light with a full, very full carpet. But it will grow to 12" tall if you don't trim every couple weeks to keep it a foreground/ carpet. I keep the back of the tank tall and just trim at an angle down to about 1.5" tall in front.
Mine is planted in sand and gravel and so far so good, my aqua soil is in mesh bag under everything
I saw that soil in a bag technique. I am doing that in my 20 long. Hoping to avoid giant gas bubbles and floating silt.
Legit is seriously the only food I have EVER seen my 10 year old pleco actively go after right while I'm feeding (he used to sneak his meals after I walked away) and it is now the only thing my rainbows will eat (except for brine shrimp and blood worm treats). Like my rainbows literally do this excited double take thing (I imagine an exclamation point in a thought bubble above their heads while they do this, to help paint a picture) every time I sprinkle some of that sweet sweet legit community in their tank. You've really created something that aquarists respect for its quality and fish go ham for. Mad props and much love from Dallas
Best comment of the year award!💪👍 Thanks for helping the cause!!!!!!
This might sound dumb - but how do you attach carpeted grass or moss into aquarium?
As I learned it's harder than it looks, not sure if because I was doing a bit patchy but they float and die (causing another issue) I like to learn more before overcoming my trauma 😅
PS I had sand as substrate and got few plants which also died - also can I still use EM3 yellow once in the tank or would that backfire?
I tried my 1st planted tank with Fluval Stratum about 2 years ago. The substrate basically is now a muddy mush. Totally dissolved. If disturbed, it clouds the tank with dark debris. I guess my question is, is that what normally happens with those kinds of substrates? They wear out? I didn't cover it with any other substrate. Thanks.
Excellent video! I got myself a 20-gallon tank with volcanic aquarium soil, sand, and gravel. If I plant dwarf hair grass can I still add a Plecostamus?
I got dwarf hair grass and what looks like monte as seeds and they are growing insane after one week no water in the tank just misting it.
My blue dreams are having a good time hiding, sleeping and chewing them up for food… 🫥
i'll instantly subscribe to the guy who has an allen wrench set laying around the room and humbly started his own business
🥰😎😎😎😎😎
Another good easy carpeting plant is Marsilea Hirsuta, no co2 or high lighting demand. One of the good one to start.
How many tissue cultures did you use when setting this tank up? Did you basically cover the whole substrate or...?
Eleocharis parvula is actually a common native wetlands plant. I have them growing everywhere here in indiana.
please do side by side with dwarf hairgrass, low tech, sand, kitty litter and some type of aquasoil.
will it survive if its just gravel as substrate?
Which aquarium grass can i grow in without co2 and low light???? Please reply Mr.?
ive been owning fish tanks for 4 years now but haven't learned much about the whole co2 thing. The only thing i know is it can be a bit dangerous to fish and shrimp so i haven't wanted to risk using that.
Any tips for carpets with herbivores in the tanks? Can't get anything started without making expensive snail food.
My snails don’t eat it just charge though it making it all loose till it floats up 😂
Does the food legit float without wheat. I noticed fish food that floats has wheat in it and I will not feed fish wheat as it’s not good … you’re absolutely correct for any animals and fish and even us
Its 100% true, nothing matters more than time.
I had about half a coffee cup off moss, now after like 3 months i have a whole bush and i dont even have aqua soil. Just light, time and fish poop.
@aquapros I am using the Seedling in moisture method. I had an aquatic pond soil ( black soil ) bed created inside my aquarium. I intend to also have an inch thick white sand substrate on top of it. But before adding the white sand, I have planted the seeds I received from Amazon for the dwarf hair grass. Now how do I add the white sand ? Do you recommend the seeds to sprout and grow to their full length and then add the white sand, or do you recommend adding a layer of white sand now itself before sprouting begins.
Kindly advise.
Hi, your tank back drop looks nice, having that 3D canyon visual effect. Can you share the link of where you got your backdrop from? Thanks
I wish I found your video sooner so I can pick what you mention from this video. I bought dwarf baby tears carpet plants last week, still haven't put in my new tank yet, but then I found many RUclipsr saying it is a very hard carpet plant to grow. I don't have Co2 set up, I will still try it but won't expect can grow easily.
Its not impossible, but you might not get it to like like youve seen it online :/
I have about 30 plant species in my 120l community tank (with Neocaridina) running for years. I tried multiple carpeting plants (including dwarf hair grass and Monty Carlo) but never managed to keep them (even when keeping the other plants from overcrowding them. My tank is 40cm tall and the lights aren't the best, but I've still been successful with so many other plants.
Partially, I believe it was my ancistrus rampaging to much through them.
Me too. Carpeting plants are quite challenging for me.
Could you tell me what lights aren't the best for your tank?
I tried carpeting with different plants in sand substrate. The carpet plants all failed 😅
Only the bigger plants like swordplants and its dwarf variants do well
If you do a sidebyside video, make sure you do one that has a sandcapped dirt substrate.
I noticed you do not have filter in this aquarium does that help raise the co2 for the plants?.
One more question plz can i germinate the dwarf hair grass in a sand bowl then plant it in the sand in my tank?
Great video and tips.. but I gave up went low Tech and got Pearl Weed.. and now I trim every 15days to keep the neon green carpet😄
Im getting a new tank this week and was thinking to do a carpet planted tank . How do you clean it? And how long can you keep a tank like that? Years? Or does it run its course at a certain point???.
Can you do this with goldfish tank, or are they too poohie?
First time watching. It looks like you are sold out of fish food. Are you still offering it? Thanks for the advice on dwarf hair grass. I want to try it out.
Do you ever do water changes or clean the tank? Standard substrate cleaning, like syphoning, would damage the grass correct?
💯
Will this work woth fluval bio stratum capped with and inch or two of sand? Should I make my eco stratum pretty deep?
I’m definitely gonna try this when I get my fish tank I’m a new owner so I want something that I don’t have to spend a lot of time on as I’m busy with college and all that stuff so there’s definitely seems like it would be up my alley how much grass would you recommend plantain for a 10 gallon tank? Because I noticed you use the little stems I was just wondering how many I would roughly need if I went that route
hello nice hairgrass, i have parvula too but is turning brown... I dont know why???? i use co2 and wrgb slim 80% tropica substrat and tropica fertilizer
I was looking for a filter but didn’t see one, is that right? I may give this a go in my 12 gallon long.
I’ve never been able to grow dwarf hair grass it always floats up even months later it’ll float up
How many tetras do you have in your tank? I’ve got a 55 liter with 16 of em. Also got some ottocynclis. Could I add a few more? Have aquasoil, eheim experience 250 filter and co2.
Where’s your Lab Coat? Nice vid. Thank you for sharing.
Did this vid justify the coat? 😁🤝
@@AQUAPROS -You are the man! You’re not a rookie, amateur, or novice. I almost got me a Lab Coat to be like you. Stay cool!
I've been thinking of trying this but also not using CO2. Do you think Seachem excel and Iron and flourish enough? Also, my plants keep dying on me that's why I'm a little hesitant and still researching about plant care.
Nice job, I enjoy these videos where I always learn something. Thanks again...
got a challenge for ya. let me know your thoughts. Wabi Kusa "style" buce/anubius on wood. but check this out. grind the substrate to powder, moisten to paste consistancy, plaster portions of wood with "paste" and then "plant" buce and other epiphytes into/onto wood and mud. Submerge the whole thing, yes submerge. making a floating underwater island TRY in a 2.5 gallon nano tank. Would you put a UG, HOB, internal or any filter on the tank.
Yoooo got back a few vids, i kinda did something like this! 😁
How often do I put the fertilizer in ? I have a 5 gal tank
thanx for the content, please consider world wide shipments, i wanna try your brand, sounds legit.
In my tank there is a sand layer on substrate is this possible to make carpet on it ?
Interesting and some good tips. Definitely like to see the comparison when you have time.
Hello, would this setup be recommended for a pleco? I consistently clean the tank and I'm not sure why bit it gets murky/dirty rather quick. Would this help?
You need to cap the dirt with enough sand or gravel or wtvr
Hey! You ever gonna revisit the lab coat days? Just kidding. Man I remember watching your vids years ago. Crazy to see you still around
Great advice! is this the Eleocharis Acicularis 'Mini' or the Eleocharis Parvula? because according to my intel the Eleocharis Acicularis 'Mini' does require co2. Thanks!
Cool video! I have a ten gallon I’m looking to plant and want a carpet of some kind. When you mentioned using sand did you mean JUST sand? I was going to do a dirted tank, and cap it with sand. You think that would affect the root development?
Ya, you could go just sand, but dirt with a sand cap will be better SOONER for plant growth :) "in theory"
With dwarf hairgrass and corydoras, what if i plant it in a swath of pea gravel. The corys wont shift pea gravel and it wont compact either. Your opinion?
Is this grass as carpet plants also good for shrimp tank?
Ohhh ya 🤙👍
I've never been able to get hair grass to grow
I was looking for a new idea and stumbled across this video. Had everything I was looking for for multiple tanks. Ordered some of your food and some hair grass. Will be planting a nutrient soil capped with sand. This will be a shrimp only tank.
Thanks Randy! You rock 😎😎😎
Hey how is the hairgrass growing in the sand ?
Do you think this would work in gravel only substrate?
how many pounds of substrate do i need for 20 gallon tank
Carpet is always the challenging part when setting-up my tanks. This video is very helpful. Thank you very much.
im setting up a new tank, moving my betta and new snails into it when it's cycled. An aquarium shop helped me with the set up of my new tank. they suggested dwarf baby tears, and i could buy seeds on line. I can't find these "mystery" seeds. I do see the small live plants. I DO see seeds for some mystery plant lol they could be selling me sprout seeds for all I know lol Any suggestions. i'd like to plat my own seeds in my tank. thank you. great video BTW.
yaaaaaa dont do the seed stuff, its not as advertised.... if the tank dosnt have water in it and yur gonna do a dry start id recommend glossostigma, if it does have water, Id go with monte carlo. hope this helps!
Just spent the money to get your free samples! Everyone should support!
Hey I have hairgrass in my tank and it’s only been growing for about two months but it loves to grow upwards and not horizontally. I have a fluval light and the tanks about 75° with a very nutrient rich soil. I trim it all the time and would some advice on this
Thank you
Yea mine grew up too so had to cut too but maybe was different species of hair grass many or just need plant it deeper. Or last possibility or needs more light? Mine had quite alot of light so a bit confused too
Oh my…. Sooooo….. Planting It…….was BEFORE FILLING UP THE TANK……… good luck on my journey 😅😅😅
Can i grow this on a gravel substrate?
You think I could carpet dwarf hairgrass using eco complete substrate?
Can you use gravel or river rocks?
how to clean it?
Can I use regular aquarium gravel?
My big Bruiser mystery snails keep uprooting my sag, what do you suggest I do?
Either remove the snails or try a diff plant 🤔
@@AQUAPROS thanks
Yea my snails to do this I don’t want to remove the snails but might might be the only choice they were better when smaller but now 😅
Thanks for all the advice. Good stuff!
What substrate are you using in this setup?
Great advice and information! Thanks for sharing
Baby tears! Yeah, I tried that and they all died off. Dwarf Hairgrass FTW, at least with me and my low-tech 10g.
Is it possible to take the hair grass from an established tank and re-plant into a new tank?
Ya totally, will it grow really well in the new tank tho? that depends :)
I’ve tried a couple of times. Found the bigger the chunk of hair grass you have the better for replanting and taking hold and never lasts in tiny chunks sadly to guna keep bigger and buy an extra tub or tub
Dwarf sagg the best
We're you get that metal and wood book shelf been looking for one like that....
Wayfair!
will this grow in.sand?
What substrate are you using
Gotta love a good hair grass carpet 😉 that legit food is legit!
The more you know. The temp note was news to me. Goes to show there's always new stuff to learn.
Cheers! 👍
Wow, you really sold me on your fish food!
I live in Aberdeen, Scotland do I have access to a free sample?
