thanks aaronc,

ive come home after a week away, and everything is looking great. glosso sending out runners. hair grass sprouting out here there and every where. the vallis's are'nt looking to good.im reckoning they will shed the original leafs and grow new ones. ( i hope)

i''ll try and post new pics soon.

 

[saintly]

[saintly]

nooooo....snails!

not sure how they got in, but there in. i dont really want clown loach uprooting everything. not sure what to do.

 

[DevUK]

Treat with something like flubenol 15 or Sterazin type meds. This'll kill em before they get out of hand!

 

[Esfa]

or dwarf puffers...

 

[saintly]

i might go the chemical way, as i have no fish or a mature filter yet. i can treat until im rid of the little bougers.

i'm off to get a bristle nose tommorrow to clean my stone

 

[aaronc]

Looking good! Damn snails - I have 5 clown loach to deal with them - but they do like a good old dig

 

[saintly]

i know, thats why im dead set against them. even in my nano, i have sae's that like to burrow under the glosso and cause mayhem.

actualy, leading on to something else (not meaning to hijack my own thread), but can someone tell me what this intruder is in my riccia and hair grass?

its starting to get every where. ive also got riccia from this tank in my big tank and fear it might spread in there to.



and here in the hair grass (on left) by the way arron you'll have mail on tuesday

 

[aaronc]

I know what you mean about the clowns - but I grin and bare it because they are so lovely

I have no idea what that intruder is - nano is looking ace to! Not jealous at all! grrr

Cool - that BGA is history

 

[fozziebear]

looks like some sort of bladderwort Sp. to me, by the looks of the runners, does it have any small bubbles of liquid on the stems?

 

[DevUK]

Yeah, its a bladderwort. I have it in my tank It traps tiny inverts. You can remove it, but it breaks easily, and any left will just grow again unfortunately.
