Talk about timing... yesterday I looked on Shapeways to see if anyone had created food-grade printed aquarium plant pots, supplies, etc! (answer: none that I could find)

Odd... as an outdoor gardener, 21 hours of light sounds unnatural. I have too many hobbies to try to learn!!

GaryE - is this it? https://archive.org/details/readersdigestsuc00plea/page/86/mode/2up?q="christmas+tree+plant"

Everyone always forgets the VIDEO option!! 😜

Who cares? They are a living thing, and there's nothing wrong with giving it them a nice home.

Yeah, ok that sort of looks like what I was thinking about. I'm an outdoor plant gal and really have had very little luck with indoor ones.

hmmm, is there a houseplant related to the one that is shown here in bloom? It looks a lot like certain houseplant flowers I have seen.

Nice!

I was curious and looked up "400kg"... that's roughly 880lbs!!!!

No egg nog??

I purchased a baby "boy" betta a month ago and not only is it really a "girl" but now that she's getting larger she's rather plump, no matter what I do. I think her body shape is just like that. I think males are supposed to be thinner, possibly like yours is?

in my newbie opinion, maybe a tad thin?

He looks like he'd be super impressive when in tip-top health!

I've seen a handful of the "big boys" so far at stores, and WOW they are a LOT bigger than the standard bettas. I've been told they tend to be more docile?

HA!!! I am no pro, but my first betta was new to me in August, and she didn't eat anything but the one brand pellet I bought along with her. Now, 4 months later, she finally eats most of what I put in there, even SOME of the dried "bugs" she hated before. Just sayin'...

that is so nice! :-) Glad someone's in the spirit...

I know a good amount about OUTDOOR gardening, but am learning about aqua-gardening. Since most of the readily available planted tank substrates either look too silly, come in too large a quantity, or cost a LOT, I'm curious if it MUST be used IF I am already adding a little liquid fertilizer to...

It was really difficult choosing ONE! (It also makes me want to have just a planted tank even MORE)

If I may share some pics I took last week at TROPIC ISLE:

ACTUALLY, if the "parent leaf" can be sacrificed, how about trimming the area off and glueing it to a rock, etc? I thought I read once that the baby plants eventually detatch from the parent. That doesn't seem to be true looking at people's photos. That's why I started this thread! :-)

That sounds perfect for tanks larger than mine ;-) Supposedly you can do that with strawberry plants, and I think roses. Outdoor gardening experience can be a plus!

Yeah, phones just can't replace real cameras in my opinion but I am becoming the minority... Maybe shut the flash off and use extra lighting from outside the tank so the phone can take pics quicker.

That's quite a plant! I wasn't aware large plants could effect water oxygen that much. He looks like a pretty fish... we need to see him in a flash-photo so we can see his true colors! :cool:

Woah, 10 YEARS?? I had no idea they were so resilient!!! I learn something new every time I visit this forum!

Got THAT right! It is one reason my little N scale layout never really took off. That and I don't mix well with electricity!

That must have been quite a sight! I am a bit behind in what's going on in the rail-world since I stopped getting TRAINS magazine and all the railfans died off :-(

I am not a pro when it comes to steamers... Is that the Big Boy?

I'm an odd-ball female... I like things like cars and machines. So it wasn't all that shocking for me to get into trains around 2003, thanks to my boyfriend. Since then, I've been taking photos of local rail activity. Alas, most of the old-timer railfans I have known have passed away, and I...
