Thanks I hope it will grow slower :-) But, with Eleocharis, even if not trimmed with very high CO2, it didn't show any problems till about 8 months. Trimming the moss is a real pain in the ... though. As mosses sink, it is very hard to get the small debris out of the tank.

Hi, here's the feedback 3 weeks later, with low CO2, less dosing, Riccia was completely rescaped and growed in 2 weeks as in the photo: Also, this is now under lower Co2 (from 48 bpm to only 6 bpm), Waterchange 10% (2-3L) /week (was 60% /week), no more dosing macro, TPN only 1ml /week No...

Thank you all for the feedback No problem with nutrients/CO2 as plants are doing very well and no algae. I still do 50-60% WC every week. It is hard to trim it close to the roots. The runners are above the ground often and of different height, so it would end up with many plants cut under the...

Hi In the nano in my signature, I have a nice Eleocharis background going great since 8 months of immersion without any trimming. I only control the new roots so that they don't invade whole tank. It is now becoming too dense and I noticed subtle signs of potential problems due to the density...

2cm in 8 months :shock: This is sooo sloooow !! I'll have to be patient. Thanks for all the hints. Never thought I could carpet it, but it should take years I imagine About shrimps, I'm also surprised how they do keep a tank clean from any debris or decaying leaves on my nano Many thanks...

Many thanks for confirming the specie Also for the hints on slow growth and how to spread it faster Does the fonatnus attach to wood/rocks with time or it will always need the nylon threads to be kept? Also, any help to make it spread faster? The christmas and weeping moss in the tank are...

Ok, Here's a new photo of tonight Ruler is in cm, not inches So, Fissidens Fontanus in your opinion?

Had same issue when I immersed my tank dry started. Most anubias (petite) rotted. Hopefully, mayn survived and some had only a partial rotting of rhizome and leaves. They now all grew back healthy Sometimes it needs some weeks for anubia to adapt on immersion. It will rot, hopefully, many will...

Sorry for the mistake, I meant in my post the difference between fontanus and zipper, I just miswritten what I meant to say. Anyway, the debate is quiet helpful So, in your opinion, it is especially a question between F. Fontanus US vs Singapore? Maybe I'll post new pics later including the...

What can help distinguish between fissidens and fontanus?

Thanks for the input. It is still alive, not growing much, but looks healty I'll let you know in few weeks how it is turning

Just for the feedback of it: it glues the rhizomes great and they don't melt, unlike with the toxic silicone

Hi, Thank you both, I never saw a fissidens before this, indeed :oops: Now, looking on google, it looks like to be Fissidens. So not sure if it is a new specie. Still, if you like, when I have some growth, I can send you a bunch if still interested. PM me in 4-8 weeks to recall me. I'll send...

Hi, I got my hands on a sample of a moss I never saw before that's now in my tank Any help identifying it? It is much more structred then usual mosses I'm used too and leaves are much longer.

Just didn't get my hands on it easily in fact

Got a great tech support from them, with also compounds, detailed specs and food safety certifications. It should be ok to glue Anubia, I'll test it next days

Hi, I need to attach some of my anubia to stones, but I can't use a fish nylon threads on those small places. I tried Silicone but all the glued rhizomes did rot :( I couldn't get some Super Glue. I found another option called Orca Underwater Glue...

I used cotton, it works amazingly Look at my nano post here

Yes, moss will work great, it was used by others to grow anubia emersed. The problem is that moss will be too large in my tiny place and will shade the C. Parva. What do you think about coir (cocnuts fiber) or cotton?

Hi, I grew my Anubia Nana petite emersed this way, see the rockwool on the wood to keep anubia roots moist: I'm looking to a biodegradable alternative to cover my anubia roots and keep them moist, the time they root in gravel. As they will also root in the wool, I would like something...

I have it under light directely, so really intense exposition. At the begining I was using some floating plants confined over it to shade light. Now, I have it exposed directly to simplify my life. It grows rather fast for a fern and makes tons of oxygen bubbles. You'll need good CO2 nutrients...

I tried both ways, they will give same result. But starting with dense planting will avoid a waiting of 6 months to get your plant as dense as you expect it to be
