Re: aquarium setup review

They only ship to the UK, sadly. The plants look fantastic and healthy, especially for 2-day shipping. I've had issues with 1-day shipping and still got brown spots on some of them.

Re: aquarium setup review

I gotta say, that Anubias coffeefolia is actually smaller than I expected, not big like yours. I think southoak got a pretty good deal on his order though, I'm considering giving the seller a try too.

Re: Information on hydrilla verticillata (l. f.) royle

Not really a tall tank, but I'm planning to move them to my 55 gal if they grow well. I got a great deal on the plants, 30 stems for just 5 bucks. Still waiting for some growth signs, and if they take off, I'll probably re-scape my 55 gallons - it's looking a bit messy at the moment.

My 5 and 10 ...

Information on hydrilla verticillata (l. f.) royle

Hey, I'm doing research and I think I'll be using my 5 Gallon tanks. I'm planning to re-create an Underwater Kelp environment. I really want to get this plant, but I'm having trouble finding info on the necessary Water Parameters and temperature requirements.

The only thing I know is that they can ...

Re: Growing anubias in soil: is it possible?

Hi everyone,

You can plant anubias in soil, but be careful not to bury the rhizome. Anubias are root feeders and grow faster with access to the substrate. If you want to try growing anubias in soil, here's a trick.

Place your anubias between two stones that can hold it down - just gently, don't ...

Re: Dwarf sagittaria emergencies and troubleshooting

I cut the rot to around 1-2 cm. The original length was 7-10 cm. Is that okay?

Re: Dwarf sagittaria emergencies and troubleshooting

Hi I want to ask again, can the saggitaria survive with just a few leaves left? I chopped off most of the dead leaves and cut the rot a bit before planting it.

Re: Dwarf sagittaria emergencies and troubleshooting

Thanks for the tips, I'll remove the dead leaves then.
