Who Gives A Fish Forums

I think I'll add a little something for the family too, perhaps a few books to keep them occupied while I'm busy with the tank - a good distraction never hurts.

You're referring to me and my daughter, I presume. We're pretty much it for the local fish scene, although I'm aware of a few others in the area. However, I've yet to meet anyone who shares my passion for aquascaping and biotopes. I do have a few acquaintances who are less experienced fish ...

I've got riccia attached to a submerged piece of wood, wrapped in netting. I've been told not to remove the netting, or the plant won't attach properly. Anyone with experience with riccia - how's the growth if left untrimmed?

I've got a BBA issue on my anubias and bolbitis - it's covering the roots and leaves. I'm wondering if I can cut the leaves and trim the roots right back, so I'm just left with the rhizome stuck to the structure. Would this work, or would I end up killing the plants?

I've got a mix going on. Currently, I'm using Omega One flakes, Northfin community formula pellets, Northfin kelp wafers, and Northfin bug pro. Since my tank's mostly small fish, I crush everything up before adding it in.

I came across this thing about Excel "melting" certain plants, but I don't really get how it works - just something I read somewhere.
