ProtoDAda Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hello, Is it safe/ok to leave the plant I purchase from Aquarium Co-Op (with rockwool and all) as it is in the fish tank? Just pop it in there? I have BiOrb aquarium which has like little volcanic rocks for substrate and can’t plant any plants down there. I have plants, Anubias, Java Fern, etc. which I glued and tied in there but would love to put some in there which I can’t glue and tie to the rocks, etc. Thank you and have a great day!

Administrators Zenzo Posted March 14 Administrators Share Posted March 14 Yes, it is perfectly safe. You can take them directly out of the bag and place the potted plant including the rock wool right into your aquarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjoma Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 You could do that. Just make sure you choose plants that don't feed from the substrate. Another idea is getting some easy planters to put the pots into. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/easy-planter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbs Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Can you show us the substrate? It sounds like you should be able to plant in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darax Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I would consider quarantining plants to prevent unwanted snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavdad45 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have an Amazon sword in one tank, and the octopus in another. I never unwrapped them, i just stuck them into one of Aqarium Coop's easy planter. Both are thriving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will perhaps just bury the whole thing in the substrate. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
