Irene Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 So beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I might have to do a partially out-of-water setup someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foo the Flowerhorn gave me this itch with all of the plants that were stuck inside the sweet potato betta tank and reading through this post makes me want it even more. I feel like I may have to try this on my 50g since there are some decent-sized gaps in the lid that I could possibly fit a small plant into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mridul Singh Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Looks neat! I've got various types of Ludwigia growing both submerged and emerged, as well as Rotalas, Bacopa C, Java Moss, and Lobelia C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexa Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 So pretty! How is it “planted” if at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannachka Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 @Alexa i have the substrate piled higher in the back. there is about 3-4” of submersed growth under the water. the substrate is 50/50 fluval stratum and fluorite dark with the plants just planted directly in. these specific plants really do well with a substrate from my experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yannachka Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 i decided to try and breed in this tank, didnt have any yarn but i did have a new loofah so lets see if i get any eggs. ive been seeing breeding behaviour in these guys and i have a small 4g thats been “curing” with lots of algae so why not.
