Hello people, I've just seen and collected some moss from some guttering, it looks just like fissidens! Could I get that spreading on some decor like the usual java/Xmas moss? I'm thinking probably not, as the differing temps and it not being true aquatic. But I was thinking if after a...

Totally agree. Thanks to that Oliver Knott tank, i've tried to get it right..... 3 times!!!!! :oops:

Good luck with that! :cry: I always find that tenellus, hairgrass with moss stones scattered between can become a great, natural looking carpet. And all easy to grow.

Marsilea hirsuta.

Thanks. Received a bunch of them the other day. Looks about right, just very small. It was a bit of a tangled mess and i ended up throwing a fair amount away. Understand that its a difficult plant (supposedly not truly aquatic) Got to give it a try though, just on the off chance it takes...

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with this plant? If you have Amano's Nature Aquarium Books 2 and 3, it's in some scapes. Tall thin tubular grass. I brought some and it looks just like a big bunch of lileopsis. I'm 99% sure that it is just a big bunch of lileopsis and they sent the wrong...

I got my order from Plant Alive today. Blyxa japonica - 5 Dwarf hairgrass - 25 Sagittaria Pusilus - 25 Blyxa was really good, very happy. The hairgrass was in a bit of a mess, all bunched together but in ok condition. Sagittaria was awful!! In the same bag as the hairgrass and in a massive...

Gently. Pfft, feel sorry for my plants now :)

I can't believe how many new mosses Tropica has now!! Just checked out the stuff on AE. Wish I knew before setting up my 4FT. :x

This is exactly what I found, although its getting longer!! maybe too long for where it is.

I've attached java moss to slate and its worked fine. Created quite a nice effect with moss covered wood sitting over it, forming a cushion. here Just covered any exposed slate with sand. I tied it on with fishing line and when I tried to remove it, it took the moss off with it so I would...

Well I am going to let it all grow out wild a bit for a while so I think I'll just leave them on to grow a bit. Could always use more of the expensive stuff... Could be a gentleman and give it for swapsies :D Thanks for the advice guys.

Well mine is really coming along nicely, lovely pearling. But I'm just wondering what to do with the new shoots. All on the leaves, the buds grow roots and tiny leaves, I just scrape them off with a nail but i'm wondering, what would be the best way to use them? They're so small!!

How do you find is the est way to plant HM? I usually get off almost all the wool from my pots but back when I got HM, I was still new to this (still am fairly)and the roots seemed too delicate to try get rid of all the wool. Think I've got adequate lighting (grown alternathera reinekii before...

That looks more like it :) Yeah I'm planning on hacking into it regularly to try and make a nice cushion Is that Hemianthus micranthemoides(spl?) in the front? Love that plant. Tried growing it a while ago but I don't think my specs did it any justice. I'll stick to the Bacopa.

I've never heard of soaking the plants before. Maybe in a diluted snail killer solution, but never for chemicals. I've had plants from mostly Tropica, the cheap pots from most Maidenheads and mail order from Plants-Alive, never had any chemical problems or fish death soon after.

Always thought of having a nice bush of Blyxa in my tank, but always heard bad things from mail ordered Blyxa Japonica. What sort of requirements does it require? I have a 125 ltr 27gal tank with 40watt of light. pressurized co2 @ 1 bps and daily tropica ferts.

Well I got the Bacopa australis, and I think its safe to say that the plant in TDI's picture is Rotala :) Bacopa is looking really nice, so vibrant! You can probably see it in my thread on the tank gallery forum. Just a couple of pots for now, but I can see me getting a few more to make a nice...

DAMN!!! Wheres that? The MA@ St. Albans where I go does a good deal on Tropica plants, 6 for £20 any pots. But your local is giving them away.

thought it did look like rotala to, but i did some searching last night and it seems like aquarium conditions can affect its look somewhat. tropica says it can develop reddish leaves in the right light but i do like the green to it. very light.guess the only thing to do is buy a load of it! if...

:shock: yeh i see it. just looks so different to whats in the tropica catalogue and ive never seen it in any planted tanks before so never knew what it looked like after growing submersed leaves. beautiful. can just imagine that at the back of my tank with the helferi and balansae. wonder if...

the one in the back middle? green, orange and red tinge to it shooting up?

have any of oyu out there had any experience with this plant? page 20 of the tropica catalogue, it sounds like the perfect plant to me. like a large growing glosso or HC cushion. not demanding of light, fast growing and undemanding...allegedly. im just imagining an iwagumi set up wih this...
