Weeping moss?

Wow that's some quick growth! Looking pretty lush and lovely :)

Oliver Knott ties his riccia stones rather tight actually. Lil-lynx - riccia doesn't make roots which is why bits will float to the surface. As anyone who has recieved plants from someone with riccia knows, it's pretty hard to get rid of! So without roots we try to hold it down with...

Brilliant thanks Darrel :) I'll look at the link in a bit more depth later on. Better get myself to work, running a tad late...

Ooh I have no idea luis! I can think of only one, watercress :lol: So far I've also found:- Nasturtium - leaves and flowers Pansy and Viola - flowers Rose petals - petals with the white heel removed (???) and the fruit of the rose plant, called rose hip Thistle - flowers Daisy - flowers Sugar...

Cheers Darrel :thumbup: What fruit does fuschia have?

Hi Guys, This follows on from Steves thread about spring pictures really. I like to devote most of the space in my garden to edible and useful plants. I remember watching some tv programs that mention a few edible plants or flowers and I wondered what plants or flowers other people know are...

Hi lil-lynx, If you can grow hairgrass why don't you have a go at trying a small portion of HC/glosso? If it grows well you'll get more and if it doesn't you haven't lost much. Forum etiquette 101 Just to let you know that when you type in uppercase on the internet it means you are shouting :)

Maybe it looks dormant but all the growth is below the ground?

Wow that tank does look good James! I love how the blyxa looks almost like fireworks (I really hope someone understands what I mean!).

Cool! I'm just doing my PhD now, what stage are you at/where?

Ah my second post has disappeared. Basically you might be able to buy alcohol from a pharmacy (used for window cleaning), dilute to 70% is fine for killing bugs. Please don't spray your hands with this stuff. Buy some gloves, wear a jumper or shirt which is very clean and tuck into the gloves.

I believe you can buy agar by the way, its a vegetarian alternative to gelatine.

This sounds interesting. But how would you sterilise a sample of plant without damaging it? As I work in a molecular biology lab and do tissue culture (but with animal cell lines) I could probably do something myself...

I'm sure most plants will be fine 3 teaspoons is nothing.

Dunno which one it was but from the online retailers I got a massive snail infestation. I have never had a snail infestation before!

Mine died and never recovered :( that was with excel at stated level...

This must be done quite slowly to not kill off the filter bacteria :) I got a bit crazy about it and took it up to 1.005 over 5 months. I did have fish in there though. I realise brackish fish are hardier, but these were "rescues" from when I worked in the shop. They were covered in whitespot so...

(Double post so cut out repeat) So what do you have in your set-up? My fella has a brackish tank with a mudskipper, he is sooo funky. Apart from the time he bit me! Its handy having a snail infestation in a way as I feed them to the puffers. The puffers are a bit big for fully grown pouch...

Please could you let us know the specific gravity of your water to give us an idea. Also any other information about your tanks like the substrate, what light (eg T8) and how much (wattage). If you could let us know this would be good. Have a read of this sticky from another forum:-...

Yeah as I say some was good some were iffy but compared to Tropica? No contest

Cheers for the replies :) Yes I've been into a P@H one week and they've had a fresh batch and they are pretty much all really good. Went in two weeks later and they were all covered in algae and shoddy. Hence, ask them to order some in for you. Out of the two I went to I had one with a snotty...

So I had to make an order to greenline to make up for the iffy plants from Java, in an established tank they would do fine but I was concerned with a new setup they may leech ammonia etc. Website is a bit tricky to use and I used the search function alot. It did take me a few minutes just to...

Dan and Eds - no offence meant or taken. Just wanted to make sure it's all ok. To be perfectly fair to Java I haven't actually complained to them, so how do they even know there is a problem? They have not had a chance to rectify the issues I have risen.

Hi Dan, Sorry this was supposed to be a fair review, if this is too close to 'bashing' then please feel free to delete the thread. I wasn't sure as I did put the positives and scored statistically.

Yes I saw that thread after ordering from Greenline :shock: I shall do a similar review for Greenline too for anyone not sure who to order from.

Um no they don't actually (order in bulk). They tell you how they do it, they recieve all orders by a cut off point. Then they order what they need from the singapore suppliers. Blah blah blah then they send to you. (Have a look on their website for more info). Which is why I was suprised about...

Following the article in PFK I decided to get some plants from Java. I'm not sure if I am allowed but I thought I would review my service as a whole. I recieved what I ordered. All plants were separated into species and were labelled by name. All were packed very well although the quality of the...

I'm going to say save a bit of floor space for me as long as you wouldn't mind having me, but my fiance may have something to say about me spending the night with 5 other men.... ooh-er!

Wow, looks awesome... Will they post??? PS it would take 4 hours and 9 minutes to drive there.... Hmmmmmmmmm
