    I would remove wood and easy planters if I were you

    My TC plants have gone into the same tank the rot was happening in 🙂 my TC plants are thriving

    Lovely indeed! ❤

    Seems there's something to opting for a tissue culture rather than a potted anubias. Every one of these plants are thriving without any rot! So I CAN grow anubias after all 🙂

    @Cory super derp plushie! Made me laugh😂🤷

    Can you hold fish if paid for in advance? I'm looking for 4 Badis Badis.

    UPDATE! The baby plants have been,in the various tanks now for three days. I saw the slime-jacket-of-death on one plant in the BFs pea puffer tank, but he moved it to the permanent placement last night and in doing so the slime came off in one piece. As of right now I don't see the slime at all on that plant. The sad part is several of the leaves are yellowing quickly. Death or merely some melt? Time will tell. I'm happy to report that my two babies in the 29 gallon are clean and normal looking. Zero slime, no yellowing leaves thus far.

    Thank you @Irene! These are new plants that were shipped in to me a month or so ago. So I'm sure they were/are stressed.

    My broad leaf Bolbitis leaves have roots and tiny baby plants growing on them. I've heard this is from stress - these are new plants that I've had about a month. So I guess I'm asking if this means the adult plants are going to die? How should I handle the baby plants?

    I agree that choosing breeders who are closest to breeding fish vision is really important. But genetics are hardly ever simple, and with fish many times you do not know what the genetics behind the adult fish are. Culling is still usually necessary. Hard culling (killing undesirable specimens) is sometimes the only way that someone can really accomplish a specific goal.

    @AdamTill nice post, and very interesting!

    I took my Barteri baby plants out of the tissue culture cup last night. I have to say - they are just perfect, beautiful, and HEALTHY little plantlets. I almost feel bad using such gorgeous plants to experiment with! Almost. 😉 I've used 3 of the 6 plantlets in my 29 gallon, the others were shared with the BF in his various tanks. I glued mine directly to small rocks just to give them an anchor. I'll update to see how they do as I observe over the next few days. Historically, my anubias have began dying within a couple days of being put into my tank.

    This is a good discussion, thank you for breaching this emotional subject. I'm new to the fish world - but dogs have been my life, and all things dog breeding related are decades familiar to me. Even culling. I applaud breeders who will cull in the original sense of the word. Now with fish I would imagine a "cull" would be almost always for asthetics, not temperament/behavior. Medical culling, IMO, isn't culling - its being humane. If you are educated enough on the fish you are breeding, and you have a very clear and reasonable vision of what you want I think culling is very reasonable. I think using the young fish that don't make the cut as feeders or euthanizing is a far better option than flooding your local market with your unwanted fish.

    I love vampire crabs, but have never owned them. BTW I love your name lol

    Of all my anubias I've only directly glued once, roots to a rock. The rest were 'glued' by using string or even zip ties glued to a rock- and all very loosely and the glue dried prior to putting the plant anywhere near it. I've never tried to bury the roots in substrate.

    In my case reduced the time the light was on.
  21. Jdogtrainer
    All of my Anubias have been glued to wood or rocks
  22. Jdogtrainer
    @FriendlyLoach yes I never did 🙂
  23. Jdogtrainer
    I would think that about all my anubias as eel except I bought so many, and from different sources, that I have a hard time thinking that it's a 100% rock wool issue. That's why I'm trying the tissue culture experiment. - The idea of trying bare root plants does certainly intrigue me!
  24. Jdogtrainer
    That's worth a try! Thanks

    So, I have failed every time I've tried to grow any type of Anubias plant. They all get a white-clear jacket of yuck around the rhizome and die off completely within 10 days. And I do mean die, the entire plant - leaves, stems, rhizome, roots - all go to mush and disintegrate. So I'm experimenting with a A. Barter tissue culture to see if any of these baby plants can get a foot hold and live in my water. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞
