IScuba2 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I just got my java fern ( planted with some success), bacopa and water Sprite came wet packed in Ziplocks with wet toweling, ( from aquarium coop) how soon fo I need to plant these? The moss took a long time and I have an OB peacock cichlid in my tank so i am afraid to plant the bacopa or water sprite... can i let these plants sit or "float" in my tank so my cichlid doesnt trash them? (Rocky is less than 2 inches long ) Any friendly advice is welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 as long as they stay damp, there is no urgency to getting them planted. if it takes you a day or three to get to it, they will survive. or you can do like i do, and open them up and just drop the pot into the tank until you can get to actually planting them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I would recommend putting them in water, with a sponge filter, and room light, or more. This will give you more staging time, and help the plants thrive sooner when planted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
