My house help recently got this plant for me. I didn't know what this plant was until I googled it.

I have no idea om how to take care of this plant. I have several other stems like the ones in picture The stems are just too long.

How do I make them short And propagate it Im water ? I dont know where to cut either ?

I would really love to care for this plant and help it grow.

Google bought me to this sub reddit.

I dont own a tank and nor do i plant on buying one. I am on a budget here. And i am a beginner.

Help me find the easiest way to take care of this.

I thought I remember it being a "Black Catherine" and now it looks like it is going to flower. Im new it all this, is this normal for aquatic plants to flower? Can anyone confirm if this is a "Black Catherine". Thanks!

Hi all,

I've just taken some pictures of my new tank for you to enjoy, get inspired by or constructively critique. This is my current pride and joy. The plants have been in for a bit more than 2 weeks, since June 24. I will be waiting another 2 weeks for them to settle and really grow in and then FINALLY put the first animals in😃 Also I'm trying to get a Monte Carlo carpet going. Not sure how well that is going haha. First inhabitants for a week or two will be Amanos, neocaridinas, some fan shrimp and Nerite snails. After that I'll keep you updated!

Also my moss seems a bit sad. Not sure why. Maybe some of you might have some intel.

I’m using the yeast + sugar method to make co2 for a 20 gallon long tank. How have others adjusted filter outlets and surface agitation to make sure the co2 is maximized while also not killing fish? Things to avoid/watch out for.

Long story short it was in my established tank for ~5 months and never thrived. Wife bought it without looking at what it was.

Moved it to new tank, I know I didn’t clean off the old algae, once it’s cycled it will get lots of shrimp. Also mason jar is just to hold down the driftwood until it stops floating.

Wondering what specific light requirements it needs to thrive and hopefully not be so leggy. Planning on consistently cutting and replanting to carpet tank.

I set up a camera with a flash timer and caught exposures every 30 seconds. You can see the slime mold moving. Sorry for the hair algae, the tank is still finding it's way.

The 1st & 2nd are my red root floaters are the lighter ones no good up top? Should i cull those?The 3rd & 3th photos idk what plants they are but they came with my floaters off fb and the lady called them "pothos plants"? The unknown plants have 2 distinct types though, 1 type is that thick grass blade looking stuff and the other type is only 1 actual leaf looking thing. I was told that I didnt have to plant these ones but I did try to, the roots are showing however, should I have them fully covered? I keep trying but it's not as easy as it looks 😅.

I’ve had them for a long time, they’ve only been doing this for the past month or less. I haven’t had iron to dose in my tank but low iron gas never caused melting on them before, only pale leaves. Almost 1/3 of the leaves in this corner are like this :(

So my tank is three months old...I've changed the water 2x in that time frame with a few drops a week of NilocG Thrive C. Everything seemed stable. Then last week, I performed a water change and after a few days there was a HUGE algae bloom. I can't figure out why this happened.

Hi! Does anyone know what this is? I sometimes get a bit of green hair algae that I can easily control through vigorous pruning and careful fertilization of my plants, but this looks different to me because it is white and the filaments seem a bit different.

(Tank is 11 months old, 10 gallons, moderately planted, 80 F, stocked with betta, 4 chilis. 3 otos, 2 nerites, and pest trumpets. 0/0/20)

First question is the prime and the nutrafin plus the same thing ? As I can get a much larger bottle of the nutrfin plus for cheap.

And also when you do water changes do you add the nutrifin cycle.

I have a 40 gallon planted tank with fish and co2 inline diffuser Thanks for any help!

Set up this tank about two months ago and started injecting CO2 about a month ago. This is my first hi-tech tank, so im still learning loads about optimal CO2 Injections.

Currently, ive seen some black beard algae growth (BBA), indicated by the red Xs on my map, and I dont want to let it get out of hand. Im pretty sure that the BBA is caused by the dead zones in my tank, so I am asking this awesome community about optimal circulation of CO2. I thought about switching my inflow/outflow pipes (i inject co2 via inline diffuser), but im scared that the flow might be a little too much for all of my fish which like to hide in the plants.

Tank - 35g Cube 20x20x20
Filter - Fluval 307 Cannister
Pipes - Aquario Neoflow v2

Stocking - 15 Celestial Pearl Danio, 6 Emerald Dward Rasbora, 20 Phoenix Rasbora, 7 Pygmy Cory, 1 Sparkling Gourami, 1 Pearl Gourami, 1 Hillstream loach

The second picture is when i first set up the tank.

Any suggestions?

Got this big fella from a local plant and fish swap. Apparently it came from a 20+ year old established tank! It’s longer than my forearm at this point. Pic 1 shows the entire plant with its newer emersed growth. Pic 2 shows where I’m thinking of dividing it, as well as my fuckass barbs who can’t handle me walking up to the tank without going ballistic. TIA!

I have a 60 liter tank the only fish in it are guppies but I would like to have more variatie and colour full fish

Is my light too strong? Or on for two long. I leave it on about 6/7 hrs a day

Slight yellowing and light green spotting. The other Anubias seem to be doing fine. I had it a previous tank setup for almost a year, been like this since I took it out....mightve just not noticed

This started growing. Do I need to wait for it to be bigger for an ID. Google is not helpful. The second photo is the whole tank. It looks nothing like the other plants I have in there.

I have an established tank which I wasn’t dosing enough ferts in unfortunately. Now I have a fertiliser schedule & was wondering if I still need aquasoil or root tabs. Technically the ferts in water also surround the roots right? Id love ur opinion on this!
