    Plant ID and help

    They're already there, just underneath the plantlet, you can simply allow them some time and the roots will grow fine [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Plant ID and help

    The plant is an echinodorus or Amazon sword species. I would leave the plantlet attached but peg it down the roots will then develop and anchor the plant. Or you can leave it to develop longer roots and then snip it from the stem. Hope this helps Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Belfast Sink Pond - frost proofing?

    I would treat the plant like you would mint! It is quite invasive and difficult to clear once its "escaped" Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Journal Freds new pond build

    These are the sort of robustly inquisitive fish that if I'm working on a part of the pond, I'll have to keep them away with a soft broom! It's not even just the carp that are like that..... try chasing and outwitting a golden orfe with a broom lmao Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

    Pots v cultures

    Hi nick, I've had a couple of experiences with tissue culture pots. One was a mess on arrival and was always going to be a challenge (it melted very quickly) the other was crypt ciliata these grew slowly but steadily. I left them to float for a few weeks so they were bigger and easier to handle...

    Pond Weed Problem

    Hi fred, the grass carp I had was fine until he reached about 18" then he turned much more vegetarian. In fact he killed one water lily by his constant grazing. He was especially partial to the red lilies, the yellow ones were pretty much left alone. They do get mighty big tho, mine reached 27...
