Just grow healthy Val, It will propagate itself in the form of runners.
I'm wanting to move some to another tank.

I have a tank with some Val and I was unsure the best way to propagate it so I can move some to another tank. Best tips?

Caribsea Crystal River is probably what I would point you to if you aren't using an actual small pebble / gravel.
And this is large enough (grain size) for plants to root and grow in? I know if you go too fine the roots have a hard time growing.

I'm considering setting up a Blue shrimp tank and I want a lighter substrate that will be good for plant roots. What do you all use?

I figured the water might have played a part in it. Thanks everyone for your input and help.
-
Yeah that's what I did today. May be my water also.

I always try that but somehow manage to disconnect it. I do have them in 10 gallons so there is not a lot of room to work.

Does anyone else have issues with the co-op airline tubing getting "hard" once in the water for a while. Once it does get harder it makes it difficult to re-attach the tubing to the sponge filter. Is this something that just needs to be replaced after awhile or is there a way to prevent this?

Yeah, right now I just have an Aqueon planted light. When I set up my tank I was just going to focus on fish and didn't want to mess with coral. Now I want to get into coral, but two fish stores have told me id need a reef light to grow the corals. I would hate to spend the money on corals and have them die, so I think I'm eventually just going to spend the money and get a reef light.
I too have some macro algae in my tank that grow just fine with the Aqueon light, just not sure about the actual corals.

I’d say no, as it’s not the right spectrum.
I thought that would be the case. Thank you.

I might do two smalls - one in each corner.

Super excited. I set up my Muck bucket pond a few weeks ago to hold my pond plants (hornwort and frog bit) over the winter.
Wanted to add some fish so it wasn't empty. I went to my "local" fish store yesterday and got 5 dwarf platys.
Today I looked in and have seen Fry! That's some good luck if I've ever seen any.

Running 2 also allows one at each end of the tank increasing water circulation.
This was my main concern -- lack of water movement since it is a longer tank.

What sponge filter should I use on a 20gal long? Should I use ONE medium filter or TWO small filters?

Yeah. I think it was a combination of over feeding and maybe egg bound. But She's doin great!

Okay thank you.
And she is active. She will swim around all the decorations. When I come up to the tank to look at her and tap on the rim she will come swimming to me. She also was eager to eat the pea.

@xXInkedPhoenixX I'm not seeing much of a change. She seems to be a little slimmer. I did go ahead and add a dose of Ich X, Maracyn, and ParaCleanse. The only thing she has been fed in the past 5 days is a pea.
She does appear to have a white spot where she would normally poop. Is this normal or part of the constipation?
Below are the updated pictures of her.
-
Will do. I'll let you know if there are changes.
-
Yeah, I don't see any pineconing on her. (This is my girlfriends betta and I have seen pineconing on quite a few others) I have her in a 5.5 gallon tank with 5 gallons of water. I put in aquarium salt at a rate of 1 Tbsp per 5 gallon. The coop article on salt said 1 Tbsp per 3 gallons, but I didn't want to over do it.

Is my betta constipated?
I put her in a quarantine tank with a small dose of salt and a catappa leaf to help with the constipation. I also gave her a pea.
She seems to be swimming normally, but just has a big belly.
Thanks for the help.
What is this plant?

Cory posted a video on his Facebook of a rescaped tank with this fern looking plant in the background. Does anyone know what plant it is?
