I do not remember seeing a iwagumi using UG.  Is that because it is impossible, or because it would not look natural? I really like hairgrass, but want to try something different. If you were to grow UG, what were the tips you could give me? I got CO2 and light sorted out, but as I live in...

@ghostsword - I have purchased a pot of Ranunculus Inundatus to try it out, but the plant is really struggling on my tank. :( The plant is next to Blixa, and the blixa is doins very well, staying low and compact. Could be that the Ranunculus is adapting to underwater, but it has been two...

@ghostsword - I found some ranunculus inundatus at @AquaticDesignUK today, and got a pot. Have you seen it growing emersed before? Going to try it.

@ghostsword I am planing to do a Peruvian Biotope, but I am stuck for plants. I only got these: - Azolla filiculoides Ranunculus limoselloides - Distichia muscoides - Lilaeopsis - Elodea potamogeton - Juncus arcticus subsp - Myriophyllum quitensis - Ludwigia peruviana - Myriophyllum...

@ghostsword - Has any of you grown blixa emersed? What sort of humidity would it require? .

I am having an issue with my Java Fern. It has transparent tips. No algae, has the CO2 difuser right next to it, close to a Koralia 2 so lots of flow, I dose EI heavily, and do two 50% water changes a week. All other plants are good, the ferns is growing quite fast, but some leaves have...

Odd plant to carpet with.. It looks like Valis, but much shorter.. and it turns red.

Hi, I got a pot of lilaeopsis brasiliensis at ADC in London about two months ago. As their local "plant expert" couldn't get it to grow, it was melting on his tank, I decided to have a go. Now, the plant has taken over my 70cm by 20cm substrate, it over run the Staurogyne, hairgrass and...

This Java Fern is two years old, I started from plantlets on a 30cm long triangular piece of wood... This was before a seriously hacking.. :) My Micranthemum Umbrosum on a pot... Gave half to a UKAPS member... Hygrophila Polysperma, sent the lot to a UKAPS member, it was at least 20cm tall....

Hello. I got some Rotala R. at the Morden MA a month ago, just a pot to try it on. The plant changed dramatically, rounded leaves turned to long thin ones and become redder. I am thinking about cutting it in half height and replanting the extra shoots, doubling the pot I got. Would this be a...

Hi, I got some strands of a funny looking moss growing on a piece of wood between a Anubia Nana. I bought some moss at Living Waters, it was supposed to be flame moss, but sometime must have came mixed up, as this moss is spiky, and even if you take the piece of wood from the water it remains...

Hi... I have a plant that I thought it was a crypt, it just turned out on my tank after I started to dose EI. It has three long stems with a single leaf on the end, each stem is now close to 50cm. Have you seen anything like it? What sort of plant is this? The stems grow very fast, in two...

Hi, I currently have CO2 being pumped to the tank and I am dosing with EI. All my other plants are doing great, MU, Indian Fern, Riccia and Hairgrass are growing exponentially, except the Amazon's. The leaves are developing holes, becoming transparent and brown patched. Do you have any...

Some time ago a member of the London Fishkeeping Club as mentioned going up the Thames looking for plants or pieces of wood. I thought that it was a weird idea, after all, what sort of plant would we find? The water would either be too cold or too dirty. Well, maybe I should definitely take the...

Hello, A CLAS member gave a plant that I am strugling to identify. The plant has long spear shaped leaves, and thick stem, quite hard, almost like a bush. The plant seems to like light, as it grows tall and it is bright green. Would you know the name? Pictures below: The plants can also...
