Can we find a name for that small plant ? So it will be easier when we talk about it. Thanks Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk

HI Edvet, had a talk with Heiko Bleher says that it a Bacopa SP. Now for the second oart of the name we don't know. I have finally played all the plants in the tank. When I came back from the trip I took some of these small stem plant and plant it in the tank. Despite the lack of CO2 for 7...

Hi Edvet I don't know, stem structure could be comparable as well as leaf. This would be a really tiny bacipa don't know Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk

Sorry the picture small stem plant is broken let's try again Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk

Here is the small plant in submerge form Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk

I dont thing it s an Acanthaceae. I went to check for pictures of different Acanthaceae sp and it doesn't correspond. Mostly Acanthaceae have "big" flower compare to sp I have. Plus the way the flower is "poping out" doesn't look like Acanthaceae flower do. I am not an expert at all .... Envoyé...

Hi thanks for your answer. You are right I made a mistake about the name of the plant that is flowering. I will try to make a photo of the inside of the flower. Envoyé de mon SM-G950F en utilisant Tapatalk

Hi guys, So as said in my previous post, I went to Zongo waterfalls this weekend to hunt for plants in their natural habitat. After 5 hours of road we reach the falls. It was a huge deception to me when we reach the spot because the river feeding the falls was almost empty. First time in 15...

I guys thanks for all your answers and advices. As soon as I arrive in Congo I put a pot in the propagator to save the species a pot on the vegetal wall of the pond and two in the tank. I will share pictures. Cheers Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Hi Thank you Yes I think it's better I leave then like that. I remember two years ago I ordered plants from France it took 11 days to reach my house. Plants arrived in good shape. The only difference was that it was winter time so temp was lower. I always order during winter for that reason I...

Guys thanks for your help Do you think that 22 C is to high ? I should keep them in the box outside 16 C during night and 25 during day. They are now in the box in my room temp is exactly 21,3C during day it goes up to 23C ? I really want them to arrive in good shape Envoyé de mon iPhone...

Hi guys, I have received my plants this morning but I am living for Congo only Tuesday morning. So I wanted to know what is the best method to stock it? Should I keep them in the shipping box inside the house at 22 C or should I open the box and the individual bags and put them in a bucket...

Hi thanks for the link. I hope it will like the tropical environment of Congo ! I will try it in my propagator and in my pond growing on the vegetal wall where there is a waterfall and on a roots near the fall. My propagator doesn't have a lid as we have constant 85% humidity there. I have...

Hi Members, I wanted to know if this type of Hygrophila is doing as well as the other Hygrophila growing emerged ? I know that the others are growing like weed in emerged set up. Would it grow better in substrat or on a wood that is sitting in water with leaves outside of water? If some of the...

How is it evolving mate ? Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Hi Jose Paulo sorry to hijack your topic mate ! CO2 is diffuse through bazooka in tank diffuser, 24/7 delivered. It is place at the opposite side of the outlet of the strong FX5 pump that completely blast the stream of mist throughout the tank. I don't measure CO2, I just check the health of...

Hi Change Christos The thing you have done that did the biggest impact was raise the light. This move have certainly reduce a lot the diatomic growth. As you can see in my first post I advice Paulo to reduce light intensity. For most of the algae it helps. By reducing the light you also reduce...

Hi Paulo Just to let you know that adding Mg and Ca will not solve the diatomic problem ! They are not related. In Congo tap water is very very soft, the grace of Mg and Ca in water is so small that we can say it is almost zero, so I add Mg and Ca in my tank and it doesn't change a dame thing...

Hi Paulo, this is Diatomic algae ! Is it a new set up ? less than 3 month or so ? If it is the case than that simply means that your tank (bacteria substrate and filter) is not enough mature, the bacteria doesn't manage the whole amount of amonia etc ... if your tank is mature (be advice that...

Maybe more bio mass than a month ago, so more uptake of CO2 available in the water, you didn't up the quantity of your liquid carbon --> so Carbon deficiency. Try to add more liquid carbon. Cheers Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

Hi Paulo By what I can read you blame the tropics brand to have a problem, so try the amania from this web site. http://www.floraquatic.com/ammannia-sp-bonzai.html I am sure you will have the same issue ! It is not the brand mate !! It is definitely a CO2 issue ! Sorry to tell you that again...

Def a CO2/flow/distribution problem mate. reduce light it will be better. I have 0,36 W/ L and no problem for Monte Carlo to carpet. By the way W/L is not a good reference. Check Flow if you can't push more CO2. How your flow is design please ? can we have a pic of the instalation please.

Thanks for your answers guys. It would be a very nice plant for our pond. Know I see the flower and I can tell its a ludwigia. Cheers

Oups sorry I have not noticed the new section for id

Hi guys on Facebook a guy have posted the picture of this plant. I am sure someone will know it. Maybe Darrel ? Sorry for the low quality pic, but it is a copy/paste from my phone. Facebook aquatic gardeners association. Cheers

I was thinking that if we do a plant per month, it would be easier to develop the thread about that specific plant. Too much at one time we will be "lost and not focus" Hope this make sense lol. Or maybe we can do every two weeks a new plant.

Hi Members and Moderators, Couldn't sleep this night, and I started to think about our nice community and what we could add in this already beautiful forum. So I end up with this idea, hope you will appreciate and that everyone will be involve in this "game", particularly our experts of the...

Thanks mate

Hi guys thanks for your answers ! We took the decision to stay in this home for a year. So scaping will be done next week. :D I have put the pots on my veranda, pots are still close. Should I put them in the fridge ? Cheets

Guys for storage should I put them on my veranda ? Do I have to keep the pot close or knowing the temperature and humidity here I have to open the pots ?? Cheers

Thanks Ed, Yes I have face that problem with blixa !! Cheers

Hi plants lovers, hope you are all doing well ? In prevision of my next scape I have order last week some 1-2 GROW pots, that I have receive this morning !!! You can imagine that if I post that, there will be a BUT in the story haha. Buuut I have a small problem, first I will not rescape the...

Hi mate, I am not an expert butI think that it is diatomic algae, when you wipe it does it goes off easily ?? If so than that means you have too much light for a starting tank or too long photoperiod. Try to reduce your light by raising it, or by putting some thing on top of tank that will...

Hi Darrel, Thanks for your answer ! Yes I think you are right I should do that. I will cut the new growth and put back the mother plant in the pond semi emerge. Thanks for the advice What do you think about the HC should I plant it. I have been patient to plant that tank, I have it almost...

So I took a pic this morning. Here is the crypt, all the new growth on the pot are submerge. Here is a small part of the HC, you can clearly see the difference of leaves of top of the plant and on the bottom of the plant. The top being submerge leaves and bottom emerge Cheers

Impossible to take a shot of the crypt with the light of the balcony. I will take a pic tomorrow morning.

Hi Darrel, thanks, I think I will proceed to planting tomorrow or friday ! My CO2 FE will be full tomorrow. Just to get back to the "title" of the thread, I have a plant that we have found with a friend in a wetland that is in my tank since 18 days now, I think that if it is still alive...

Yes that's a Crypt I have left in its pot for 6 month now in the pond. It has soooo much new growth on the side of the pot that I even don't how I will proceed to plant it haha. I'll take a pic as soon as I get back home. still at work now. thanks

Hi Mick, Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I didn't cut it, because I don't already know if I will use it in the scape. I don't have good result with Rotala Mac growing emerge ! Even if I live in tropical environment it is not spreading like other Rotala I have in the pond (rotundifolia...

Hi Just wanted to say that I have select and put the plant in the bucket here is pic I was wondering something, most of the plant was growing half submerge half emerge. Like the HC. It was growing in the pot and I cut all the tip that was growing outside the pot crawling in the water (pot...

Hi guys, Just wanted to know if it is a bad idea to trim that plant when it's flowering ? In fact I really need trim it for my new scape. I need to put them in a bucket for one or two week to give it an help for transition from emerge to submerge form. Here is the plant with the flower, sorry...

Clive do you think that this giant hair grass could be aquatic ??? This is not not my pond lol this is a small river in the bush. As you can see in the pictures some of the hair grass is growing half emerge half submerge. This week end I will decide the plants I will put in my next scape, and...

Hi CLive, just a quick answer, because I don't have a lot of time. Thank you for your nice explanation again !!!! Got it, and this is very logical. So would you advice me if I want to set my tank in 3 weeks to choose now the plant I want in my set up, and put them for 2 weeks in a bucket ? this...

I globally understand the idea of the bucket (transition from emerge to submerge) but master, if you have one of your very appreciate scientific explanation of this method (bucket for transition), I would be very happy to know the why of this. Best regards

It is to difficult to take the pic of that plant in the tank, with the phone. But I don't think that it resist. I have also take 3 different sample of plant that could be aquatic plants.

Hi Clive , If you are talking about the one on the third pic on the left, I have already try it. But in a other color and it was in a smaller river (2 meter width) deep 1 M very slow moving water, and temperature very high maybe more than 30 C. This one was silver color, it has never settle in...

Hi Ed, You have to trim it also mate ! Trimming will also help horizontal growth. Good flow and distribution down there plus trimming should work very well. As I see your pic, you need to trim it. Cheers

I know this is a long journal but you might find some very good information in it. There is a part where Tom talks about that plant. I advice you to go trough the whole journal. That's the journal of the master lol "Dutch something or the other" 120 Gal | UK Aquatic Plant Society Cheers

Hi Garry I don't think that raising the amount of iron dosing will help in coloration of the Rotala. What are your water parameter ? It likes soft water, rich co2 and water changes. Hope that if I am wrong someone will correct me. Cheers

Guys I am very sorry to post that much just for pic of one specie of plant (but it could be a new one lol) So have someone have already see this type of plant coming from central or maybe west Africa ? Plant Spot where it grows I have decided to upload on the forum for the lazy one that...

So do you have access to the album on filckr ?? If not I have found an other solution! I have put the pics on my iphone (just found an app that can do this) so let me know please. I would like to know what people think about that plant because it could be part of my congo only planted tank

I am very sorry to present the plant like that. I realy don't like the fact that I can't put the pic in the good order, that is not my style lol. But at least you have the pic. cheers

I don't understand how to post directly from flickr to the forum. I would like the pictures to appear directly on ukaps. I have push the button share in my album than I have copy past the HTML code in the window of insert image. Can some one help me please here is the link to the album can...

Hi members, Yesterday we went riding in the bush, and we passe trough a small river, where we stop to relax and refresh our self on that nice spot. With ukaps mind in my brain, of course I went around the river to check for aquatic plants haha. So by looking I have noticed that all the shore and...

You have all the explanation about the effect of hormones on a more compact growth, in the link I have put. Had the same problem and Clive (Ceg) have explain it there. you should go trough that thread there is a lot of interesting infos !!!!

Hello Ed, Vertical growth of glosso is not due to low light. I have been advice here that you need very good flow and distribution down to the carpet, and that is an important point. You will need also to trim the glosso to make it grow more compact. You can read here the advices that Ceg...

i didn't meant you have to do stem by stem mate ! Even me I don't have the patient to do that (Mark Evans have it). When I planted mine I did small bunch of 1 cm2.

I have use razor blade it works great. But It's more risky for your finger hahaha :hungry: but here it's difficult to find a scalpel blade. cheers

Hi the most efficient method is planting by single stem. If your tank is already running, I would suggest you to reduce a bit the light, to give a better chance to plants to make the transition from emerge to submerge. It will also reduce the carbon demand so you will more be able to get a good...

Hi guys I was wondering something. Since more than 2 weeks I have drop my light from 108 w to 54 w for 70 G. Since 5 days I can see that most of my Microsorum pteroptus leaves is sprouting a lot of new plants from above the leaves, and there is a lot of orange spot down there. I know that the...
