I bought three live plants at Petnosomart. One died right away and the other two appear to be on their way. However, I bought a couple of these pod plants at Walmart. Two large ones and three small...
You may want to try using a nylon mesh to rub off the black algae. If you remove the plastic plants, chlorine or a strong vinegar solution will kill the stuff, but you will still need to do some rubbi...

Hi again all,
I have a major problem. I put 3 oxygen plants in my tank on saturday and have just noticed that their growing roots half way up the plant. What do i do now? Also how do you keep the...

...behold, I took a sample from my tank today and it had already started to cycle. All I had was a few live plants and some hijacking snails. So looks like I will be doing a fishless cycle after all. ...
I have a 10 gallon tank with two live plants, one fantail goldfish, a topfin 10 filter and an aqua expert air pump 600 with a 4 in. micro bubbler stone... Can my tank also support a small black moor?
i only have ancaris or what ever it is called sorry about the spelling
...day before yesterday and they only had anacharis and bamboo in the tanks. They had a bunch of those tubed plants for sale but I don't know enough about plants to tell which of those are really water p...
I'm asking about the plants since Oscars, which are also carnivorus, rip out plants (never understood why they do it). Do you know if they can "co exists" with live plants?
And one more thing: According to at least one reliable source, some plants like hornwort can directly metabolise ammonia. In addition, live plants help control algae. So, it was two more things.

Yes you do have a good lighting system for plants. Aquarium plants are pretty easy, alot easier then some land plants. You might want to consider geting this stuff called flora pride. It gives nutrien...
i have a tank packed with plants, and i never used a CO2 system. i started with just three plants and three gouramis, and the plants made runners and before i knew it they had dominated my tank! i gue...
I love the look of sand in the tank, but I also hate fake plants. I want to get maybe a 30 or 40 gallon tank soon, with all real plants and maybe some sand from home depot. But I cant imagine the sand...
I have to disagree about worrying so much about quarantining plants for snail eggs or algae. In general, most plants that you get, whether from hobbyist's tanks or commercially will potentially have s...
Some of the plants sold in aquarium shops are marginal plants, meaning their entire lifecycle cannot be spent under water. The roots can stay wet, but the green part needs to get some air time. In a t...
...or now. i kept doing water changes everyday and the last day i did a 70% water change. i added a few more plants but the water wasgetting clearer before the plants. i hope all the plants do help but w...
...pted a "silent cycle"? For those that haven't heard of the method, it is where one heavily plants the aquarium with plants. You can add your fish right away because the plants take use ...
I know a lady in Illinois who decorates her aquariums with silk plants, etc. Still, it seems like some artificial plants could affect water quality. A few years ago, I decided to go with all plastic a...
...t of the hoods you buy from aquarium shops have single tube lights, which are fine unless you want exotic plants. Probably you should assume that low to moderate light plants are the best, although th...
I'd be interested to hear what you find out on this one.
I've heard about plants making the aquarium inhabitable immediately... However... If you don't have good gravel, from an old...
... for the most part its not to bad. I also only run the light 8 hours a day to try and minimize alge other plants in tank are all live plants. so i get some help from them as well. :D ...
Lots of aquariums have little critters that probably hitch a ride on plants. Most of them are harmless. Algae spores travel in the air and are just about everywhere. If the white spots are alive, they...
That's a good point. I know that plants absorb minerals from the soil, but i read somewhere that land based plants use those minerals to help them absorb nourishment from the air. Similar things ...
...o2 diffuser a couple of months ago I no longer have co2 in my tank, and this black hair has taken over my plants. I am afraid to use the bleaching method. I really do not want to kill these plants and...
... Petco today to buy some feeder fish for my hawk (subject for another thread), and I had to look at their plants.
My favorite fish dept guy was there. I really like this guy. He remembers all my fish...
Thank you. I wish they were all live plants. Unfortunately I don't have much luck with them. There are two live plants in there tho. The two on either side of the center root.
Most live plants will have snails or snail eggs. The benefits, in my opinion, make up for the disadvantages. After i retired in 2000, my aquarium collection started to grow, and I became determined to...
Today I received an order of aquarium plants from Arizona Aquatic Gardens (azgardens.com) and was quite pleasantly surprised by their quality. Usually when you order plants off the net, you expect to ...
