Recommended Posts

Hey guys my local store has Montecarlo and rotala h'ra from 1 2 grow from tropica ,i was thinking about getting the imersed ones that come on a Bucket but they didnt get them, do you guys think that 1 2 grow will be harder to grow/adapt to my aquarium? I have a twinstar 45B and tropica aquasoil,i don't have Co2...

Should work just fine.  With tissue cultures your (usually) starting with a very small plant so be prepared to wait.  Patience is key.

This is how it's looking now , its been a week since i planted the Montecarlo and the Rotala h'ra, some of the plants came out but i think it was my ancistrus or the flow from my filter, hope they can still survive...

You should not have any issues with the 1-2-G series. The main thing when you buy a tissue culture plant is just starting with what looks like a healthy plant.  If you're buying "cups" just be careful that you're not paying the price for a tissue culture plant and it's not actually a tissue culture plant.

The tank looks great. Be sure to check out the tidal mod thread stuff in my signature. 🙂

@Vítor Looking good! As long as you know you have some nitrates going, they should grow out quite nicely! Thanks.

I have the tropica specialised, but didnt dosage anything yet , i still testing my water and it always had nitrates till now, so probably on the next water change i will dosage im a bit afraid of dosing and then have an Algae bloom or more nitrates than i need

I use tropica premium in all my tanks because my tap already reads 20 nitrates. If your tank is stocked enough maybe you should go for premium version too.

they usually advertise specialised one for high tech setups or if there is too many plants but very low stocking if I am not mistaken

I only have 10 shrimps and one ancistrus so i think is low stocked but maybe i will get the premium
