Let's face it. As much as we love our pretty aquatic plants, nothing removes fish waste from water better than emersed plants - whether floating, breaking the surface from the substrate, or hung on the back with roots dangling into the water. I am looking for some good - 'grow out the back of...

Are there any floating plants that we can keep under a tank lid that will flower in an aquarium? I can't think of any...

We all know this works with moss. Ferns like similar conditions as moss, so I wonder if blending up fern rhizomes and mixing with yoghurt could produce similar results. Does anyone know?

I got some Ranalisma Rostrata about 3 months ago from Alastair. It was growing gangbusters in his Chocolate Lake with high light and without CO2. But now that I am growing it in these conditions it doesnt really grow for me at all--does stay alive though.... Unlike Alastair the water I have is...

I have a bolbitis in London concrete tapwater under medium light. It grows really well but a couple of the leaves are turning dark/black especially near the leaf edges. It doesn't look like algae on the leaf but almost. Anyone know what this is?

Just wanted to share some close ups of this new moss I got at Living Waters Croydon. I keep it low tech. Enjoy.

Hiya, I just edited this post because I have been corrected that what I have is actually a bolbitis gametophyte (not bryophyte - sounds too similar for me). Apparently given a little more time it will start to porduce a rhizome like ferns do. I will keep ya'll posted. I just wanted to share...

The brown areas on the leaves started appearing recently. The leaf with the huge brown area is about a week old and the brown-ness appeared a couple days ago. The other leaf turned a bit brown a few weeks ago. The tank is 20l, I have 3l of ADA Amazonia I. It is low-tech, I do ~20% WC/week, I...

Does anyone know how long I have to dip aquarium plants in heavily carbonated soda water in order to kill snails and their eggs? I remember hearing someone say this could be done, and then I tried to look on the internet to see how it was done and found nada. Cheers!

Are there any plants that will grow on the surface under low light? Azolla?...

What plants will survive and grow in a 3 liter bowl with daily fertilized water changes, indirect sunlight from a window, and no filter or water movement? Will the classic unkillables of Java Fern and Java Moss be able to grow? What about anything else? Or will it all just stagnate and algae over?

If you use enough floating plants can you; 1. Impede surface gas exchange and imperil the life in your tank 2. Significantly reduce evaporation in open-top tanks, providing a kind of 'natural hood'. I guess it would also depend on the species of floater. What plants in everyone's experience...

I have read conflicting reports. Will Pellia self-attach over time? Or do you have to use a permanent non-degrading attacher like a hair-net or fishing-line in order to hold it fast?

I have a couple questions on some now very hard to find Java Fern varieties. Does anyone know the story behind Java Fern 'Tropica'. I have read that plantlets of it do not have the same 'dentate' leaf pattern of their parents. Is this true? Is this why Tropica stopped selling it. I also head...

It is available here. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Bolbitis-Live- ... 19bac01b2a This plants looks awesome. Does anyone know if this is really Bolbitis, if it is really an aquatic plant, and if so what water parameters are necessary to keep it? I can't find any of this info on the net. Many...

I got some 'Pellia', Monosolenium Tenerum, recently, and when I put it in my tank the dark healthy colour bleached out to pale green sickly colour and it when from 'crispy' to rather limp. Here is a horrible picture of some of it (it is lying on the bottom in various locations in my tank). Is...

I guess the Antipodeans have something to offer other than distinguished culture and fine manners. Check it out. http://www.aquagreen.com.au/plant_data/ ... ndrum.html
