I purchased an Aponogeton longiplumulosis plant just recently. It came with a lot of foliage and a bulb with 30-40 long white roots, each about 15cm long. I was simply wondering if the bulb needs to be fully submerged into the substrate, partially submerged or not submerged at all to grow new...

I am looking into choosing a foreground plant and have been drawn towards Hemianthus callitrichoides. The growth rate seems quite fast which is something that I was looking for. However, I know that this plant only has small roots and was wondering if they anchor themselves quite robustly after...

What is the best method for encouraging either eleocharis parvula or eleocharis acicularis to spread and form what looks like a grass patch? At the moment, these plants are growing in height very quickly and only spreading at a slow rate; how would I reverse this? Also, can either of these...

I recently introduced some Sagittaria subulata plants to my planted aquarium, in fact they were only planted around 4 days ago. They are now starting to turn brown at their tips, while other strands are going transparent. Do these plants wilt on initial introduction to a new aquarium or in...

I recently purchased a set of Hygrophila polysperma plants which had some very broad leaves on them. Once planted in my tank they continued to grow but the stalk is slightly smaller and the leaves are very small and almost folding in on themselves! The entire aquarium is algae free and all...

I've had some Vallisneria Spiralis planted in my tank for about 2 weeks now and although new shoots are growing perfectly well, some of the longer shoots are losing their chlorophyl and becoming semi-transparent from the top down. Why is this happening? Do they just naturally do this or is it...

My question is simply, what species of moss will grow in the following aquarium conditions: PH: 6.6 Temperature: 27 degrees C Lighting: 2x24w T5 HO 'life-glo' lights (Amazon frogbit segregate light source from water). Dosing: EI-dosing; approximately 10ppm of nitrate and 2ppm of Phosphate added...
