Exactly what charm said! It really makes things easier, and the fish love it too!

10:11:48 Bird

@DD, so you have had good luck with plants?

10:10:56 Charm's Wubs

I will always recommend planted. It will also help keep your tank clean and water quality higher because plants remove nitrates/nitrites from the fish waste.

Versa & Bird, gotta love plants and fishies!

Bird, you should! I made the mistake of not doing one with my tetras and I honestly regret it a bit xD

Um, I guess? They're alive, but they're not growing for him. They're only as big as they are because they thrived in my tank. So I guess my advice is to get an established piece?

Hummingbird Meadows

10:08:17 Bird

@DD, yes. I kind of want a betta fish. Trying to decide if I should do a planted tank.

Versailles

10:07:56 Versa

Yes indeed, DD

Backwood Barns

10:07:43 Charm's Wubs

Ironically, he can grow 10-feet long Jungle Val, and as soon as I take a few pieces of it, it dies in my tanks. So it's all about finding the plants that you can maintain and thrive in your tanks!

@Charm, pointless as in easy?

Ooo are we talking fish and plants? :D

10:07:03 Charm's Wubs

Bird, then you need to have a good piece of driftwood or lava rock to attach it to. But they still grow and require trimming! I have a giant anubias in my 135 that has been growing for 6 years on a large piece of driftwood. I can't seem to kill it, but I'll give pieces to my dad for his tank whenever I need to do maintanance and he can't get them to grow at all. Some pieces that are 3 years old are the same size as when I gave them to him. So... I'm not sure about that. I think they're easy and great plants. If you asked my dad he'd say they're pointless LOL

Charm,
He was wild! The brightest pink and shimmery blue I've ever seen in a betta. Loved his leaf hammocks, too.

@Charm, what about rhizome plants that don't need to go in substrate?

Backwood Barns

10:02:42 Charm's Wubs

Bird, you have to have the right soil/substrate first of all. And then you have to either find someone local who will give you cuttings of their established plants, or order online (I recommend ModernAquarium if you do this, I've never had a bad order.) and then once they are established you have to trim them and keep them maintained so they don't overgrow. Sometimes that means throwing extras away, sometimes that means replanting them... if that makes sense.

Yay, English. Apparently I'm getting sleepy lol

Bird,
I do not, Paarthurnax passed just before my move to Tennessee. However, he had a 20 gallon tank all to himself, which a ton of silk plants and caves.

Hummingbird Meadows

10:01:06 Bird

@Versa, do you currently have a betta? What size tank is he in?

Versailles

10:00:47 Versa

I ended up only with a few moss balls because my betta that I tried live plants with had serious beef with these inanimate objects lol

Backwood Barns

10:00:45 Charm's Wubs

Oh my goodness Versa. That's HILARIOUS! Such a spicy and opinionated boy you have!

10:00:44 Bird

@Charm, can you explain a little more how they are so much work?
