Well it is still growing. Any ideas?

Makes me wonder where miracle grow sources their organic potting soil from.

Any ideas on what it is yet.

Still alive. Not growing very fast. But still there.

Still alive. Are there any aquatic plants that grow from seeds? I am using organic miracle grow for my dirt layer. I am thinking that they might of sourced some of it from a pond or something.

Well I am pretty curious on how it will turn out and to see if it will live long enough to identify it.

Okay, here is the back story. About two weeks ago I set up a grow out/farm tank mainly for bucephalandra. I made it a dirted tank with a deep sand substrate just in case I wanted to grow out some root feeders too. Well this morning while I was planting some extra hair grass and val runners, I noticed this stem looking plant popping up out of the sand. What is it? Did it come from the potting soil? Did it come from the play sand? Sorry for the bad pics and cloudiness. Not a photographer and stirred up some debris while planting the val.

I have downsized a few times. I think I have flooded my areas market for them. This last time I gave away 49. I still have 7 adults and fry hiding amongst the plants. They are one of my favorite fish. Active colorful. But damn, they can breed.

Haven't had glowlights in ages. That's a good idea.

I currently have a 40 gallon breeder. I am wanting a cool schooling fish that would keep my platy numbers in check. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thank you all. Will do some research on those.

Is there any fast growing rihzome plants that don't get over 5 inches. I am wanting to try a cliff aquascape and need something to accent the cliff face. I am not really wanting annubius, way to slow of a grower. I want to be propagating for other tanks.

I am starting a heavily planted 40 gallon. Most of the fish I am wanting, I haven't kept before. So here is the list. 8 blue emporer tetras 4 congo tetras 9 cardinal tetras 6 kuhli loaches 6 panda corries 5 odessa barbs 10 amano shrimp Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am starting to plan out my dream tank. It is going to be 125 to 150 gallons. Haven't decided yet. But I want one that is biggish. I want it Cory cats, tetras, smaller barbs. I am kind of partial to a small group of 4 to 6 angels as a centerpiece. But would like some other options. It has to be plant friendly and be a non-digger.

Finally got one of my hillstream loaches. They are shy little buggers. They make you work to get a photo.
