I tried some willow Bonsai trees that came in as branch cuttings with no roots, last winter, & I don't think I had enough light... I've since added more light...
these plant starts have roots, & I'm going to try them like I plant most of my terrestrial plants in aquariums, these are going into my 65 gallon Tilapia fry raising tank... just because they are from the same region... hoping for better luck this winter ( these tanks are in my entry way to the house, & they keep the room at normal temperatures during the winter, with the tanks heaters set in the mid 80's )... these are actually an olive producing tree, so I have high hopes for them... I have 4... if they all make it, I'm going to try to Bonsai a couple of them, & if they outgrow my space here, they may have to move later... anyone else had good luck trying out of the box projects???

Looks like I'm skirting the box, as this article actually talks about Bonsai & aquariums, but not in how we talk about aquariums...


and...
