I will. I have a tank they can go in, anyhow. And I did think about it for a week and do some research first. So it wasn't completely an impulse buy.
-
Has anyone had experience? I think Cory has if I recall correctly. Anyhow, I have some coming in and will be giving them a try. They're filter feeders/supposedly will take to some other foods and natural algae in tanks. Gonna see how it goes.

Will these be okay for a fish tank?

They may but why not just get a python water change system? -
Given the right conditions it can survive for a very long time underwater. But it isn't a true aquatic plant.

I haven't had that one before. I may have to look into it, as well.

Tank big, no bigger. BIGGER

Or if you want Licorice Gouramis you can go super small like a 5 gallon. Hah. But honestly, I've got no interest in trying to bring my pH down low enough to keep them even though they seem fun. -
Yeah fair enough haha. I hadn't heard of them being used for fish tanks before. Just for birds. But you make a good point, they do indeed come from the water haha.

So, I do not have an answer for you. However, on advice from this forum I was going to order two inkbird setups. Can you tell me which model you use? I'm trying to figure out exactly what I should get. Sorry! Don't want to hijack your thread but rather than a second post related to inkbird I just thought I'd ask here.

Yeah, I'm a long time plant nerd since preschool. And I'm forty now. So, plants have always been my thing. Even went and got a forestry degree. But now I'm getting into aquarium plants so that's a whole new world (mostly). It's very fun. Although I think I may need to set up a tank just to grow out plants as needed from dividing. And of course the fish are exciting too!

It's a mix of Salvia minima and Pistia water lettuce.
-
Yeah that seems to be the issue. Being one of the most rural states in the country where everyone is spaced so far apart makes it hard to get a club up and running and maintain that momentum, apparently. I'd love to try to get one going someday that survives but it'll be a while before I get to that point or have the capacity to try. Even just one that meets quarterly would be cool.
-
Fair enough. I've got an LFS thirty minutes away and another an hour away. The first seems a bit more secretive about that, the second gets things mostly from local breeders. But I suppose that all depends on the LFS and the owner's personal preferences. I think what you say makes sense, completely.
-
I'd love to know if they were wild caught or tank raised, imported or locally bred. But I don't think you'll get many stores who want to list the actual name of their supplier/wholesaler if that's what you meant. If not, my apologies.

One of my favorites, actually, Mayaca fluviatilis - wiki link. Link to it on the Aquarium Co-Op site here.

They're small and hiding and I'm hopeful they'll do well and grow. Sort of white-ish right now. Hopefully with light, fertilizing, etc. they'll bounce back.
