Just found out it is Rotala Rotundifolia

It's definitely not moneywort. The leaves stay narrow, moneywort the leaves tend to get round and a little larger.

Not the water sprite or pennywort, the one with the quad leaves. Thanks :)

I dont plan on it “spreading” in the sense of the stem growing under the substrate and putting leaves out through it. Im just hoping as i continue to trim, that it will get bushier and cover more space

Hey everyone, Starting a pennywort carpet in my betta tank. I know its gonna be a lot of pruning and maintenance but I haven’t found anyone else online doing this really and wanted to experiment. Any tips for how to get maximum bushiness? I started out just cutting small bits off the branches...

Hey everyone. Here is a 2 month update on the snail jar. Was hoping some of the java moss would come back but its just decaying instead, which is fine. More food for the bladders :) Rest of the plants are doing great, even with colder temps everything else is still alive. I think the natural...

All great tips thank you guys. Yea I will move the heater, the issue is my house temperature fluctuates a lot so i do a lot of manual adjusting and it would be hard to reach behind the driftwood... but the background, rocks, and plant tips are appreciated.

I recently started aquascaping and have been putting a lot of different plants in my betta tank. I think I’m off to a good start. Nothing has grown in yet but it still looks kind of messy. How can I make it look more neat?

Thank you thats exactly what I was looking for!

I've fallen in love with this photo and would love to know more about the plants in it. I can see cabomba, wisteria, water sprite, ruffle sword in the photo. Can anyone else tell me what that main centerpiece plant is and maybe some of the other tall bamboo-like shoots in the center?

Maybe I wasnt clear sorry. The 8 gallon has no fish whatsoever in it. I want to make it a fry only tank. I’m just asking when its safe to move them aka it wont be too much stress that might kill them

Oil is expensive. Glad you can afford it 😂

I have some newborn molly fry that were born this past Thursday. I immediately moved them into a separated basket that floats in my aquarium. On Sunday, I set up an 8 gallon tank separately from my main aquarium with the intention of using it for the fry so i dont need to cram them all into the...

I have a breeding tank setup with a couple fry and I also have a pregnant ghost shrimp. I’m wondering if it will be okay to keep the 2 together, it seems ideal so that when the baby shrimp hatch the fry wont be big enough to eat them?

How long does that generally take to start?

Will do, thanks for the heads up!

I’ll save that for when my jar is bigger, I think an amazon sword would outgrow my real estate lol

Hello everyone, small update. I’ve added many live plants into the jar, but in my excitement i forgot that java fern can’t handle cold temperatures. I may buy a small heater to keep them alive because at this point getting them out of the jar would be a nightmare. It only has a 25mm opening at...

Looks great! This look similar to mine for sure.

oh I see what you’re saying, I wonder how other people do it then. Unless they’re just lying

yes, but I like the idea of each betta having an abnormally large territory

I have seen some people online do it with no water changes. What is your reasoning for the tank needing to be bigger? Just curious and want to learn.

If I had unlimited money I would set up a 75 gallon betta tank. Two males, no filter, an overload of plants with a CO2 setup, and a huge repopulating cleanup crew of shrimp / snails. It would be fun to have a setup that requires no maintenance and runs itself, other than feeding the two bettas...

I don’t have quite that variety... yet.

Hi, starting a new journal thread for my snail jar. Any suggestions for plants to add would be great, as well as anything else the snails would need. I have some white sand as the substrate and theres an air stone moving the water around while i cycle it for a week or so before adding plants...

Where can I add photos? Should I do it in the journal section?

I'm part of the camp that doesn't believe they are pests. Ever since I have had them in my aquarium, i don't see a speck of algae (brown OR green). It's great how they help keep everything spotless, and I don't even have to do anything to care for them!

Just some bladder snails that hitchhiked in on my plants. I have way more than I know what to do with, but they haven't become a nuisance... yet!

I will! I'm planning on starting soon, just need to gather some supplies.

Thank you, what are the next steps for treating her? I have other fish in the tank, should I just treat the whole tank?

Hi I am wondering if anyone has tips for doing a SNAIL ONLY setup? I have a 1 gallon jar that I thought would be fun to have snails in. What kind of filter, lighting, plants, etc would I need to make this work?

Just like title says, I have a molly that is fat (she is not pregnant, I’m certain of it because its been more than 3 months now) and i have seen stringy, white poop. I’m wondering if herbtana is a good medicine to use? I know its basically just essential oils but not sure if thats strong...

Understood, I absolutely won’t take the risk if theres any doubt that things will be peaceful. But now im curious where these rumors came from?
