starsman20 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Going to try to grow more in pots to make things easier to move around 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I think that's a really good idea. One of my tanks is a lot like yours, I used the larger gravel because I like the look of it and it doesn't go up the gravel vac- but it's harder to grow in though I have some underneath the gravel at the back of my tank. I'd like to grow in pots too, just wish, for my purposes, I could find something I liked to put them in...always looking.... ...your plants look great!

Streetwise Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I wish folks would try organic soil in potted planters. It is a nice way to dip your toe in organic soil. Edited March 26, 2021 by Streetwise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 @Streetwise well and starting with pots would be an easy way to get people to try it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) My favorite soil is organic topsoil from a local composter. http://www.growcompost.com/compost-home/ Hopefully you have something similar, and local to you. Try to be minimal with any sand/gravel cap. Edited March 27, 2021 by Streetwise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeisgood Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Yes, probably organic soil without added fertilizers would be best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I have potted plants in my grow-out tank so I can easily remove them if I need to. Also the tank was originally bare-bottom...that didn’t last long though. 😄 I love the potted look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten thousands of fry from her and even though shes been away from adult males for months she never skinnied up. No babies in a while but she looks perpetually pregnant. My other female thinned out but she only had a few batches of babies. Plus shes a food hog. Its good to be queen????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
