Thanks! I found that it is the Greater Water Plantain, Alisma plantago-aquatica

we don't get newspapers here so would tissues work?

Giant flower stalks (currently around 5 ft but will grow larger) and the structure of plants. Leaf shape of the plant. Bottom is just azolla Emersed/seedling of the plant Unripe seed pods(green) and ripe seed pods (brown) unopened purple flower on black cloth with unripe seed pods beside it

In my pond, there has been this plant that popped out of nowhere and grew really well. The only information I know is that it has a Saggitaria like growth pattern and leaves, but the flowering stalks throw me off. GROWTH INFORMATION: - flowers begin to grow in beginning of summer and dry off...

O sorry about that, i was half asleep when i read that haha The floaters outcompeted diatoms after they covered the whole tank and matted. If you test params, there will be 0 nitrate. That’s at least worked for me

duckweed, water lettuce, water hyacinth, and frogbit are all very invasive plants that will outcompete diatoms. and make sure to clean the tank more often, as dirty tanks correspond to more diatoms

hello! I noticed this on my pearl-less pearl gourami when i did a water change. she's acting normal and parameters are also normal. the only thing that's different is that she used to have no coloration but she's starting to gain some colors

were the bags full of air?

Hello! i'm wondering how to package Vallisneria and Azolla for shipping. For Azolla, will a bubble envelope with a plastic bag and paper for padding inside work? because that is how I package duckweed.

they eat diatoms like crazy as well. in the beginning of my tanks there's always walls covered in diatoms and I move these guys from the big tank to help me with it

they will decline naturally if you feed less, and clean your tank more often. you can feed them to larger fish as well to make a use out of them

woah nice, can you get some close up photos? what location did you get them from?

You can look at local small business fish stores. I have this store that sometimes has fully flushed out strains such as red dragon dumbo, full gold, and blue lyretail. Near it, the frmales are separated out and you can get the female that matches with the male. After a few batches of fry, they...

would the cat stink up the trash can if just left in there? because a dead large animal could compost for days and smell like death... If I had a connection or if I kept it for a while i would. like if I just got it from pet store and it died in quarantine, no

can you get a clearer photo? from the looks of it, it looks like normal betta coloring. no signs of fin rot or anything as you can see this one below is similar to yours and has more black spots. perhaps it is just growing into its coloring

nice, from the looks of it perhaps she will have a few more weeks before giving birth. i'd love to see an update!

do you have any local breeders? if you have a friend or store that breeds them locally with the same water conditions it will work out, because i think they adjust to water conditions over generations. I wouldn't add fluval stratum but rather things such as coral or limestone to slowly harden...

wendtii green? I love wendtii crypts. i have a red one that gets wrinkly leaves when matured

4-5 in large male pearl gourami

I was on another forum and they said that it was just an employee trying to gain clout.

its a small circular pond and it has a pump. why will i not see the cories if i have mud? will they burrow? it's not completely mud bottom, most of the bottom is covered with carpeting plants and during the beginning of winter, the lotuses, sword plants, and ludwigia all recede, so catching them...

Hello! Do paleatus, emerald brochis, or anaeus cories like heat and clay bottom? It is very hot here and the little pond has some guppies currently. ~20 gallons

i agree Make sure to clean the tank thoroughly. perhaps another shrimp or plant leaf already died to cause the ammonia spike or there's too much mulm in the gravel

hello, a few days ago someone gave me some free guppies. I put most of them outdoors but there was one that had popeye so i let it stay in the qt tank. What can I treat it with? i have aquarium salt and a tiny bit of maracyn and paraguard

my baby fish like it as a snack when powdered

cool! try to hand pollinate them, that worked for my pomegranate that wasn;t fruiting

these look better than commerical bettas, but they're so expensive, like here around $100 for a pair at lfs

rose tail females are slightly longer finned than other females, but if you're looking for long fins, a male in a small and calm flowing tank is the best option. Betta sororities are not really recommended since especially adding new ones causes them to fight

tbh i just top it up because apparently, pothos secretes rooting hormones into the water itself. i've tried to prop passionfruit before, and the only one who survived was the one that was in an old prop jar with an old pothos prop. the 30 others in soil and commercial rooting hormone all died...

swordtails need harder water to live well so I don't think getting softer water would help do you have any photos?

yeah, I have a 75g and i use api and i don't want to waste it so I get around 4- 5 gallon water buckets and put in a ml for each of them. It worked well for me, I feel like it's more simple and straightforward than all those fancy conditioners like Seachem prime and API stresscoat

yes, but wait around a month, she looks like she is not going to drop any fry for a while

for most aroids at least, rooting hormones are not neccesary. only for stuff like trees will you need rooting hormone

the ground roots might rot in the water, so i still think the cutting is a better option. you can try this though. i think it won't hurt. maybe do a bleach dip as well
