This is part of my Marble Queen, also todays Ozelot red photo. Use LOTS of iron!

Exactly. I look at my sword plant before putting the lights off and when i turn them back on in the morning its 20% bigger-ha. Something like that.

Keeps growing...

Looks near perfect. You might try terracing one of the set ups to allow even more diversity and interest.

This is true. I just bought a rotala that was kept in dim light at a petmarket type store and it looks like yours. It too is just adapting to better light and care.

Try more iron. It doe more than help red plants..its a real boost to most plants.It might not work as fast on newly planted plants- their root systems still in shock..but older plants kick it when iron goes in.

Unlike the bargains I was hoping to find- everything on aquabid is top dollar. That's before you add high shipping for things that need to be kept warm and get there fast. UK.APS Has great deals on tropical plants...until you realize nothing can be imported. They could be free and still no deal.

Tropica might be interested in this...;)

Shrimp are fine..for a few no filter is needed. But! they breed don't they? So you might look for a tiny pump and filter or sponge filter. Heat needed in the winter.

All three have tiny croziers,this is the most advanced. Princess fern in the backyard(bottom right) and the plantlet underwater in the aquarium. Whole planting glued to wood isnt much but looks ferny.

"Maori Princess" is big garden fern for me outdoors and its related to the common Mother fern house and garden plant depending on what your climate is. Well,reading that the princess is a hybrid of Asplenium oblongata a fern of shady stream banks. Have had it for 20 years or more. Well,the...

Ages aquarium water is best to start- no need for it to be the dirty stuff from the gravel or filter. No need for a heater this time of year. I've seen plenty of plant aquariums lush with not even a single fish. Plants don't need fish,they need light and water conditions that are appropriate...

I looked it up before and they said liters was valid..as I recall.-_- Iron rules low tech plant tanks..that and plenty of light but that's a given even newbies know. I push that iron and have not noticed any side effects. BBA is still there,but less if anything.

Sometimes I'm heavy handed..but not more than double. ..or two tablespoons for 920 liters of water as they say in Europe. Not much every day seems to work better then weekly heavy dose.

My aquarium is 240 gallon and I add like 2 teaspoons worth about every day,some days I skip. Its really made a difference.the swords grow larger by the day. This is the other day. I tell you Ozelot 'red'? Is a true centerpiece plant for the larger planted tank.

On the tube? MD for lush aquariums with no Co2. George Farmer for high tech and sometimes low. Biotopia has gone from vids of wild rivers in Brazil and the underwater flora and fauna to now doing aquariums to resemble rivers in species. MJ (not to be confused with MD) specialty is high tech...

IMO,Iron is pretty much all the fertilizer you need. Chelated. I've found even the one sold at Home Depot in liquid for $11 a gallon does work. For all types of plants. A little a day keeps the yellows away. So far its gotten some swords to just explode,mosses to deep green then ever...

Go glass for a small aquarium. At 30" it will bow in acrylic- a sure thing. Also,very hot lights will speed that up. Like the others said.

Oh,is this part of something larger?..

I could name four aquarium plant boards that would ban you for that title and the sarcasm. As in forever..only they would let the establish crew kick you around first with no qualms to it,then let you go...

Heck,carefully open a tea bag,replace tea with peat,restaple. That should be enough for an average size aquarium.

Anybody mention peat in a stocking? Old timey way.

It seems the red is temporary? Probably.

If we can't get a Honeybadger,a Whistling one is close enough. How I see it.

Smoking costs money. I can't let that take away from my hobbies money. The only joint I know is Al's Fish Paradise.:banana: ba-da boom!

I'm so old school,I actually use my bare fingers to push plants into the aquarium substrate.

If you are running normal levels of light one treatment can do that to cyano. But for high light? Almost nothing is 100% permanent..but keeps it down to unseen. One thing that never works is remove by hand and or big water changes. You have to upgrade your filtering,lower the organics. You...

TODAY. In the aquarium..its to the right in its lime green color.

DID you notice that your plants grow faster at night? Its like they took all the energy from the previous day and used it at night to grow. Wadoyathink?

Crayfish will eat those fish. Then eat all the plants. They are not compatible with anything as far as I know.
