lindabee53 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I was unexpectedly gifted a bunch of plants. I don't know what most of them are, and the person who gave them to me doesn't know what any of them are. I know I have an Anubias - a big one - and one of those banana plants. I'm pretty sure one is a sword plant, and there's a bunch of moss. Everything else is a big question mark. I don't know whether to be thrilled about this or not, as I have a Co-op order on its way. Well, I said I wanted heavily planted, looks like I'm going to get just that. I need to remember to leave space for my sponge filter. What do I do with big handful of moss?

eatyourpeas Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) You could take an old glass vase and put the moss with some Neocaridina shrimp. Room light, and water changes. I think either @Patrick_G or @Streetwise had something similar at one point. Snails could also work.

Patrick_G Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yes, I have a few glass containers from Goodwill that make great containers for plants and maybe some snails or Neos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I love growing out plants, or keeping wet house plants! You can enjoy them with minimal stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindabee53 Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 You all have such great ideas - thank you! I think I'll put a bit of moss into my tank, but if I were to put it all in, there wouldn't be room for plants. I do have a largish terrarium-type vase that currently holds tiny balls of leftover yarn. That might work for keeping plants or for shrimp. I do have to admit that the pail does nothing for anything I was given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
