You could release a few of the roots and slowly shuffle it about to the desired area. Or simply re attach with some cable tie and then cut off once its taken hold again.

I simply trim these when it happens. Have you try growing emmersed?

Crypts are really robust. To ensure better growht I always add a root tab under the roots to give them a nice kickstart.

Living Waters in Beddington have needle leaf fern. Very nice too.

Excellent Identity of this plant and really impressed with the growth. From a distance it almost looks like a brown fissiden :)

Add daphnia. Excellent tank for them to grow in and keep bugs at bay :)

I can spare a small amount if need be. PM me what you have in mind. It took me 3 months to nurse mine to health as it arrived in bad condition :)

Ive been keeping hydropiper on top of my hob filter and it seems to have grown in quite well. Also keeping in a take away tub amd its spread well.

I believe it could be peacock myself. I had some from Nelson and it grew to that size. Really impressive fronds, but some reason my amanos took a shine to it and tore it to shreds :(

Thats correct. It isnt suitable for the aquarium. I have tried to keep this plant with no luck. I tried from emmersed to submersed over a few months and not much luck.

Oh ok :)

Neil I have some Needle leaf which I can take from my scape. Let me know the next time you pass my way :)

Defo the BN. I had to get rid of mine when I first started. Simply trim the leaves down near the roots and sometime in a months time the leaves will return stronger than ever!

Take it out, place in a small tub and then just monitor it there. Ive had mosses die on me and now I keep around 10 tubs of mosses growing in the kitchen. Drives my wife mad :)

What tempreture is your tank? At the best of times I find that mosses melt down before picking up again.

Really? even if the mosses grow over the pieces of wood?

Useful info as I never bothered using superglue before. Will try this tonight as I have alot of java fern to attach to pieces of wood :)

Is it not java fern? or probably narrow version?

Thanks :) I think they are pretty common types anyways. Will try and see how they grow being semi submerged for a month.

What am I? This is what I picked up from Antwerp forest. Just 2 small pieces to try out :) This is growing well.

Ive seen a similar variety in a stream a while back in Kent. But I wasnt that into mosses. Now I am I wished I jumped in to grab some :)

Good advice :)

One image I came across online http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/I ... ew/441.jpg

Yes its possible. Ive done it before to create an instant covering on some pieces of wood. Bear in mind it doesnt grow much in a low tech tank, I would imagine in a high tech tank the moss will grow a little faster. SImply unroll it and then attach with some thread. I would advise using fishing...

Did you come to a decision on which plants to go for in the end?

Ive found the same issue, but LondonDragon told me to trim the hairgrass before planting it will promote growth. Im currently using a low tech tank, and have noticed it has taken about 8 weeks for it to send out green grass again. At one point I thought it had melted away and therefore I just...

I find trimming hairgrass is a 2 person job :) I siphon a tube close to it, and then snip away :) Siphon takes away the mess whilst doing a water change. I used to uproot hairgrass before replanting but not any more.

Bit early for the Porto match? :mrgreen:

No to Waterboy who was requesting this.

IM heading over to Living Waters this weekend with A1matt. So if there is some do you want me to pick some up and you can just paypal me the money + P&P? I know there is always some for sale.

Although there have been a few members saying they havent had an issue with theirs melt. I tried mine for about 10 days and after a few days you can start to see changes to the once healthy vallis plants. It really depends on how much you dose, I am currently dosing 10ml a day but will probably...

will SAE and Amano Shrimps eat cherry shrimps? Reason Im asking is it would be nice to add some fish to my nano

Ive had the same problem and basically threw out the rotting anubias. But to my delight last week the roots that I didnt pull out started growing and now I have healthy growth from a small Rhizone. It was packed together with my Amazon and I thought it was part of it. So I guess in future if...

Excllent! All I need is half teaspoon then. Would I douse this every other day? I assume one day feed and 1 day rest with a water change in between. The issue I have is that daily I do a water change for my discus. Its usually around 40l each day which is roughly a 25% change. Perhaps after...

Thanks for the info guys. I am going to rehome the plecs now. I bought then no bigger than a thumb and they have grown to monsters now and although I place 3 algae wafers into the tank before I head to work and twice during the evening when I return I suspected it was them Nomming on the plants...

I dont use any co2 but was told that easycarbo can melt the vallis I have so I decided to buy some dry ferts. I have some Trace and Monopotassium Phosphate which I was told was good for anubias and friendly to vallis. I havent doused it yet because I need to pick up a measuring spoon which...

Hi, I have a Juwel 180l tank, internal filter and external Eheim 2217 Classic filter. Lighting is standard lights which are on 6 hours a day (trialling) Here is the pic of my tank and my questions are. If you look at my anubias, after a week or so it started changing colour. Is it too much...
