Fantastic work Manu, looking great! May I ask, are your inflow/outflow pipes acrylic? And where did you get them from?
Cheers Roy, I'll try thatCleaning the moss I use my fingers just waving the moss up and down when doing a water change.This gets a lot of the muck out
Thanks a lotFantastic work Manu, looking great! May I ask, are your inflow/outflow pipes acrylic? And where did you get them from?
Thank you very much Marcel! Your fern is growing well tooDelightfull little tank.. Grows like crazy good job..
Thanks a lot Nelson!Looking great .
Is the Asplenium cf. normale all emersed ?.
Thank you very much Marcel! Your fern is growing well too
I read that they don't do well being a long time under water. We'll see
Hi Marcel,Well that's nice.. it indeed is a very beautifull bright green java. Can't wait to see it all grown in after a few months.
Mine is making babys like crazy.. now in 4 months time i took of more than 15 little plantlets from it's leave tips and they keep comming. Does yours do that too??
Cheers for that, I will give it a go as soon as possible. When I get some babiesThis information is usualy aimed to ferns in pots with soil.. That's rather a bad idea to keep that to wet, because of fungus development and lak of aeration and will eventuely start to rot. But with a good flow around it's rhizome freely in the water they probably addapt after a while.
Hello Finn,Wonderful tank Manu, I'm very envious of your Rotala wallichii, I can never get it to grow in my low tech tanks! Maybe I should bite the bullet and try some gas...
Great to know, thanks! I will give it a go when I have got new plantletsWith regards to your Asplenium cf. normale though (which I believe is now named Hymenasplenium obscurum), I've been growing it for over 8 months fully submersed and have so far seen good growth from it, and in some cases have found it to prefer the shadier, more sluggish waters than my M. pteropus 'Trident'. If my experiences are anything to go by, you shouldn't have any problems with it under the water line.

Hi Manu, You may already be aware of this, but in case you or for anyone else who might be interested, leaf cuttings of Hymenasplenium (and some of Bolbitis spp.) is an easy if albeit slow way of propagating them if you want to increase your stock.
I just take an older or damaged frond after pruning (a nice fresh one would do too if you're so inclined!), lay them on a moist bed of any substrate I have lying around (I tend to use peat, aquasoil would be a fancy alternative) in a plastic takeaway tub or even a sandwich bag, and leave in a place with a stable room temp. and medium/low light, making sure to give them a squirt of water when checking them. After a month or two you should have plantlets forming at the terminal ends of the frond's vascular tissues which you should be able to remove and grow on in the aquarium after their first true leaves develop (which may take a while, you could move them to a higher light area to give them a boost). I find it's a nice way of recycling what would otherwise be composted, plus I've never seen anyone use these plants to densely populate an area so kind of want to try that myself!
