    Outdoor plant identification (Anubias?)

    Just read it grows to 25cm so I might put some in a small pond outside rather than an aquarium.

    Outdoor plant identification (Anubias?)

    Thanks Darrel, I know it from it’s common name. I noticed in the other thread that it can be placed in ponds. Does it do well in aquarium conditions? If so should it be placed in the substrate, sat on it or attached to wood/rock?

    Outdoor plant identification (Anubias?)

    Hi, I found this plant growing in my girlfriends parents garden and was wondering if it was Anubias? No idea how it got although they leave near a few waterways. The leaves seemed very familiar to me. Thanks.

    Is this algae on my crypts or nutrient deficiency?

    The same thing happened with my tank when I had to tear it down while moving home. It was like pulling up weeds. Sounds like a lovely fish btw.

    To be honest, I’m surprised a Pleco didn’t kill them off by whacking into the rhizomes.

    Thanks. I was thinking that would be the case. Hopefully it should be okay to remove them in a month or two. Being two inch fish they hopefully won’t be able to move too many of them.

    I did the 100% water change yesterday and put stones from my garden round the crypts. Should this suffice?

    Wouldn’t that work with the crypts?

    Is this algae on my crypts or nutrient deficiency?

    I was thinking of giving it a go. See how things go with the Anubias, Crytps and floating plants first. Might add them when I get the larger aquarium either way.

    Possibly, I am also adding Anubias so I’ll only keep that if this is the case.

    Yes, it is converting in 24hrs.

    Is this algae on my crypts or nutrient deficiency?

    Okay, I’ll start dosing the water column, stop adding Ammonium and add floating plants. Correct, I can’t delay the fish, getting more time off work for collection would be difficult right now. Being 2” fish I am hoping they will leave the plants alone. Regarding further oxygenation what would...

    Please note I am currently adding 50 drops of Ammonium Chloride to the tank per day at the moment.

    Is this algae on my crypts or nutrient deficiency?

    The tank has been set up for 6 weeks now. The plants have been in there for about 3 weeks. I have been cycling the tank using Amonium Chloride and added Dr Tim’s One And Only Nitrifying Bacteria when I started cycling. I am successfully having Ammonia convert to Nitrite and Nitrite convert to...

    Is this algae on my crypts or nutrient deficiency?

    Hi aquarists, Can anyone tell me if this is algae on my crypts or a nutrient deficiency? I am currently doing a fishless cycle and am not adding ferts to the water column. I will be adding lots of peacock cichlids on Thursday so I am hoping to get away with not dowsing ferts. Just wondering...
