Toska Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I've been nothing but happy with my aquarium co-op plant orders. I got a water sprite and was basically almost too tall for my 10 gallon and quickly grew to over take it, i love it, my favorite plant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Congrats! Most of my plants are from the Co-op. I love swords, I'd love to see one all grown out in a 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishyJames Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Water sprite and Octopus plant takes up 90%. The sword is growing and sending out a shoot. I will be harvesting some of the sprite and octopus plant for my 55 gallon. I need to get algae under control in my 55 first.😔 Edited March 18, 2021 by FishyJames 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 The water sprite went crazy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmedByFish Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Wow! Is the huge plant on the right half of the tank the sprite? (If it is, I just might buy one!) 15 hours ago, FishyJames said: I need to get algae under control in my 55 first.😔 I'm new to this, so could be wrong, but I think putting the plants in your 55 would actually help get algae under control.

FishyJames Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yes. Water sprite is on the right. And you are correct about the algae, I just have too much right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
