Hi all, I've received some stalks of blyxa japonica through post. the condition of the plant is not good as some leaves melted and its turn yellowish. its still alive though. i've dropped these temporarily into my smaller tank, as my 3 feet tank is not ready yet. i've tied it to some stones to...

Hi folks. i like this plant. it is slow growing, and has red-brown if given the right condition. anybody has experience with this? there's a picture of it here http://www.plantgeek.net/images/plantpics/hcompact2.jpg i was informed that this plant requires high amount of light. how light do i...

thanks... i've noticed some new growth from the previous experimental trim on a few stems.. encouraged, i've trimmed all the tonina and replant it as the previously old leaves didnt look nice. it will also give an even growth to all the stems... as for hair grass, it is slowly taking off...

i have high light and pressurised CO2. i think the CO2 is sufficient because plants are pearling, i dont use drop checker though.. i'll be getting my dry ferts this weekend finally!!! yeay!!! so hard to find it here... but i still have problems with those algae that grows on glass... no other...

i did spread to little clumps and spread across the area... i noticed some new growth when i accidentally pulled out one clump during maintenance yesterday. but it is still slow. my tank is 1 and half feet, hair grass as the foreground plant. if i trim right down to substrate, wont it die...

after the initial planting stage, how fast does it take for hair grass to grow and spread across? i've planted mine for 2 weeks+ now, seems quite slow to take off. is it better to trim first to stimulate faster growth? as the existing hair grass seemed to have been in emersed form previously...

About 2 months back, plants in my aquarium was doing really bad. glosso melts, moss that did not really take off started dying, other plants's growth just sort of stopped. that was the period where weather was rather hot here, at least 30C everyday. it didnt occur to me that water temperature...

i thought uptake of nutrients is only influenced by lighting intensity? which determines the required CO2 as well. never thought CO2 drives the uptake of nutrients

ok.. i'll double my ferts... see how it goes. its also probably due to flow like u said coz it grows better along the side of the aquarium.. how do u improve flow in such a small tank? i'm using a hook on filter.. some pictures here, any comments? sorry bout the tea bag behind the tank.

Hi all, my glosso have not been spreading well. And worse, its dying.... new leaves still sprouts, but more are actually rotting. some have pinholes, some looked like sth has been munching on them (unlikely due to my stocks). everyday i need to remove floating dead glosso leaves. this is bad...

alright... thanks guys! appreciate it. seems that i had some luck with the water parameter previously, it grew nicely until one day the luck ran out.... i'm off to do some reading on water KH! it could also be the nutrients as i've yet to find the dry ferts i want in malaysia! the only stump...

i have lotus as well, though i'm not sure if it is red tiger. it looks very similar to the one in the picture, but not as red. how do you guys get the lotus leaves to face in front? my lotus leaves are everywhere. it looks quite messy... unlike the ones in picture, neat and facing front...

One thing about stem plants and in specific tonina. Now i've messed up the tonina, the leaves look ugly and unhealthy. given the right condition, will these ugly leaves it recover? or, i need to remove these leaves and then let the new leaves replace it? if i have to remove it, should take out...

hi all, need some help. my plant was growing well... it was under a light too high, however had some algae problem. so i lowered it. but after a week plus or so, it starts to rot. the leaves would just disintegrate. other plants were doing fine. it just wouldnt grow. at the same time i've also...

Hi, sorry that i got the plant species wrong. The plant in my tank is not Cuba, it is however a similar kind with larger leaves. i'm still trying to get its name.

Hi i have "Cuba" in my tank. in terms of rooting, it can be quite difficult in the beginning as they're small and tend to float. have to replant it over and over again. but once it started to grow on its own, it's quite firmly rooted as they're clumped together. i need help, i have some nerite...
