      So, this is a great question. Here’s a straightforward list. Although if you are looking to purchase some I’d be happy to create a package of what I think your tank needs would fit. 1. Hygrophila Difformis 2. Hygrophila Roservang 3. Hygrophila Rubra 4. Hygrophila Purple 5. Hygrophila Tiger 6. Rotala OJ 7. Pogostemon Octopus 8. AR 9. Any persicaria species 10. Pearlweed Those are some of the ones I can recommend off the top of my head. It really depends on the set up of the tank. Since certain species are hard to grow with certain requirements

    • @oliversaquatics
      @oliversaquatics 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I’d say there’s probably an issue with lighting or nutrients. Rotala Walichii can be trimmed just like any other stem plant. Although it’s more finicky and sensitive to stuff like PH, Amount of light and fertilization.

    What happens when algae grows in it

    • @oliversaquatics
      @oliversaquatics 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Awesome question, so if algae occurs in it, I suggest identifying which algae is occurring. Then I would treat the tank accordingly to that algae. For instance if it’s hair algae, I’d cut back on lighting and ferts. It also depends on the type as mentioned because if it’s BBA algae it may be impossible to remove.

    I just got it, but does it need water flow, potassium fert or anything in general ? Got it from LFS who bagged it dry, and gave it to me, after an hour drive, some leaves had started yellowing and some melted... I dont know what to do i have sponge filter rn, so i can add HOB if it does need flow, but I'm gonna lose it if this plant dies 😭

    • @oliversaquatics
      @oliversaquatics 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Imo, it’s not 100% necessary for flow. The only thing I would want to have for sure is High light and a great nutrient to ch substrate. As for your LFS man, they shouldn’t have done that. I’ve had the same thing happen to me a few times since I’ve lived in super rural places. It’s always frustrating. This is also why I throw in Wet paper towels in within my plants upon shipping.

    I have repeatedly tried this technique but I have corydoras and frogs that loosen the stems and they always end up floating on the top. Any suggestions for weighting them would be awesome!

    • @oliversaquatics
      @oliversaquatics 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      So if this is the case, I recommend purchasing some plant weights. I would bundle several stems together and wrap them with the weight. I would then bury as deep as possible. That should prevent cories or frogs from being able to bring them back up.

I plan on keeping German blue rams, Apistogrammas, tetras and rasboras so the temps will be like 82 degrees. Can you suggest one if your plant packages that will fill out the tank nicely? Great videos by the way. You have a new subscriber and future customer.

    I have a 20g tank with such optimal snail conditions that I remove about a thousand, yes, ONE THOUSAND, ramshorns per week, mostly very small, to take to the fish store. They use them as food for their puffers and whatever other fish will eat them. And that's just from one tank. If you give them the perfect conditions and unlimited food, they will completely take over everything! Lately I've been letting the reds one stay in order to convert the tank to all reds, but now I'm starting to get some pinks as well. Wheee!!! But then I have another tank with conditions not so good for ramshorns, really just because the pH is too low (around 6.5), and while they still lay tons of eggsacks, none of the eggsacks ever hatch out. Literally not one single eggsack has hatched in that tank in the year and a half it's been running. Since the only real difference between this tank and the 20g that produces a harvest of a thousand per week is the pH (6.5 vs. 7.2), that seemingly must be the limiting factor. Of course, if you do have a ramshorn infestation, don't go changing the pH in the tank, your other critters in that same tank may not do well with a big swing in pH, so better to find any other solution.
