Guppysnail Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The anubias flowers grow so slow it will not reach the surface in time. My understanding or at least in my tanks the flower that come out submerged is the corn cob looking center with the pod open as the petal. I know they cannot be fertilized submerged but can be pollinated manually from another plant when flowers are emerged. I would be curious to see what happens if you expose it to air.

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 @Streetwise it would be very cool to see what happens with it if you did. I planted one via a suction cup halfway up my 20 tall's back wall but even that did not get it to reach the surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Ah cool! If nothing happens this time maybe next!! Wonder if it matters if it blooms before hitting the air. (don't google image search emersed anubias, it'll ruin it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 @DaveO, I left that as an Easter egg! It is a piece of limestone reef that my dad dug up from the woods. He had to call a neighbor with a landscaping business to pull it out of the ground with a small backhoe, and drag it into the yard. The Lake Champlain basin is part of the oldest reef system in the world. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatyourpeas Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Your tanks always look so calm and happy, @Streetwise! Would you ever go back to marine? That was a very nice looking SW tank! 😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 @eatyourpeas, thank you! I would enjoy doing marine again. I lost my last marine tank to Tropical Storm Irene. I tried to give the tank away after the flood, but it is now my 16 bow. PS, I tried to pull some algae from one of my small shrimp tanks, and caught a shrimp by accident. I tried pouring out the algae vase twice, and we have this: I had to pour everything into a bucket, and now I wait for my next chance to catch this rogue shrimp! Edit: mission complete! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrey Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Evaporation in the last tank pic? Or intentional lowering of water level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 @Torrey, I need to top-off all the tanks from evaporation. I’m on it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
