Mine is starting to get taller too, it stayed nice and small for a while but is now getting taller and taller :shock:

I think it roots more quickly onto wood than it does onto rocks. My Java took forever to get a hold on some slate and in the end I took it off and put it on some wood, it seems to be rooting more happily on that. I think only one or 2 strands rooted on to the slate in the end, and that was...

Yeah some of them will eat nice soft green plants, my spixis can be easily diverted by a nice algae wafer, maybe yours can be too.

Do you have any snails in the tank?

That assumes I knew what they were when they went in ;) In which case when I get five minutes at home with the lights on I'll try and get some close up photos and see if I can get the names right before coming here for confirmation :) Oooh, how to waste an entire afternoon, Thanks Andy :lol: I...

or alternatively, using a plant name to find out what a plant is. I see things pop up in the sell/wanted section and I a) often have no idea what's in my tank and b) often have no idea what they're asking for! So the question is, where do you start. I know the tropica website is a good start...

Mine ate a couple of leaves off things when there wasn't any other tasty food for them. Either add veg or algae wafers to distract them from your plants and you should be ok.

If it were growing in my garden then I would guess that it was a random variegation and depending on whether I liked it or not I would either pinch it out below the white to encourage new non variegated growth or pinch it out at the tip to encourage new variegated growth. Though TBH it's...

How about you delete that post and we'll claim ignorance ;) :twisted:

Sounds like a fun day out... could make it a PFK/UKaps thing, organise a time/place and see who turns up. Take plenty of photos and there's bound to be an article in it ;)

So why do Java-plants have it for sale? I posted this in TFF when I came across it a few months ago, I was about to buy some but when I searched for it on greenline they said they didn't stock it because it was an invasive species. No one seemed that interested. I dispose of most of my...

Just for completeness I found this thread on TFF. While Clive has already pointed out the problems with chemicals damaging plants I think for those with precious small fish/shrimps and no means of quarantine then it might be a risk they're willing to take. Still don't know if any of these...

Unfortunately mine choose to cling to plants :x I'm waiting for this to happen, then my housemates will freak out because it's a flying thing! :twisted:

This was what I was expecting people to say, anything that'll kill off the eggs will likely as not kill the plant as well. The only thing I could think of would be ammonia (like the stuff you would use for a fishless cycle), a soak in a relatively high concentration solution of that should be...

How do people ensure that hitchhikers don't get into their tanks on the plants they buy? I recently purchased a large batch of plants from greenline and now, a few weeks later I've discovered that I've got several dragonfly larvae running around my tank, of 2 different types! Now these are...
