Subwassertang is far superior in my opinion, it attaches much quicker and is much hardier and doesn't get full of algae and dirt the war java moss does. I covered a few large pieces of driftwood in subwassertang and within 6 weeks it had attached securely and began to become thick and bushy it's amazing for shrimp tanks and a good hiding place for fry.
@@MCAQUIN0 strong direct light is best i find it doesnt do well at all if shaded by anything i also dont add ferts as it has a negative effect last time i dosed my tank the subwassertang started browning and kinda dissolved away to just some roots on the wood but it did grow back eventually.
Oh also uou need low flow definitely as high flow will dislodge it especially when you first attach it and also when it grows bushy large clumps come away quite easily and will float away and it can attach to things you dont want it to like filter outlets.
Just added Wassertang 2 weeks ago. But,its not lost a step. Acclimated to a tank that gets mid and afternoon sun to dusk..over part of the tank. Java moss is also. The Wasser thing looks good in a current. Like mini Sea lettuce you find at the beach. Dark green and every part is perfect.
Yes, but you forgot the most important part....it's a ß not a B. Pronounced like S. And with the umlaut on the u makes it soos Süßwassertang or Suesswassertang.
Fishman I made this video a couple or three weeks ago and the subwassertang is nice it just is slow but I’m like you I’m looking forward to see how it does
I enjoyed very much. I have one tank I put a piece of subwassertang in. It was grown all the way around my center piece and is about 2-3 inch thick. Every little piece will start growing and connect. It is an amazing moss. You did a great job on your wood.
Süßwassertang. The ß isn't a capital b, it's an "eszett", which can be written in English with two S's. Without the German characters, it would be written Suesswassertang. Sweetwater (freshwater) seaweed.
I like the Subwassertang plant more I have moss but I like the Subwassertang better cause of the wide limbs leaves ? has on it my guppies get tangled up in the moss where the Subwassertang they wouldn't & it grows sorta fluffier?? I'm looking for me some if you have any extra you can sell. new sub here.
Jeffroz FishKeeping agreed. I have a Benchmade bedlam and i love mine. Im doing the same with java moss ans susswassertang. Can't wait to see what happens. Awesome vids btw. Keep it up!!!

What's your tank like with subwassertang? mine is getting brown and doesnt seem to grow. Do you have strong light and flow, also , do you fertilize?

@@ViolentRainbow Ah alright thank you very much! That direct sunlight part helps a lot. So ill do that! Low flow and direct light! Thank you!
Wish I experienced this. My subwassertang is like 3 months old and hasn't grown even a bit. It's crazy. Everything else is growing fine

Nice I Love subwassertang man
Thats such a nice idea!!! Greetings from Germany
Fun fact: Subwassertang is German for "freshwater seaweed", so the "W" is pronounced like a "V" (i.e. subvassertang).
Yes, but you forgot the most important part....it's a ß not a B. Pronounced like S.
And with the umlaut on the u makes it soos
Süßwassertang or Suesswassertang.
Cool experiment. I've kept java moss forever. I've never kept subwassertang. Looking forward to how this goes

@@Jeffro Have you done an update video on this tank/ the subwassertang ?
my driftwood wont sink either. i superglued it to a stone for weight. i'd like to see what weeping moss would look like.
boil it a few more times maybe?

Sherry Swinney's Fishroom Nice I’m going live in a few you should come on the show!
Thanks.. I will try to make it.
I have subwassertang and java moss trees. I like them both especially for my shrimp tank
Friday Fish Facts 604 my shrimp love them both
It would stay on the wood better if you wrap it with thread
It doesn't like to be glued.
Süßwassertang. The ß isn't a capital b, it's an "eszett", which can be written in English with two S's. Without the German characters, it would be written Suesswassertang. Sweetwater (freshwater) seaweed.
Süsswassertang (German spelling: Süßwassertang; the b ß is a s) süss wasser Means Sweet water
Thank you. This is a pet peeve of mine lol
I like the Subwassertang plant more I have moss but I like the Subwassertang better cause of the
wide limbs leaves ? has on it my guppies get tangled up in the moss where the Subwassertang
they wouldn't & it grows sorta fluffier?? I'm looking for me some if you have any extra you can sell. new sub here.
is there a 2019 update?
You said Benchmade. Automatic like!!!
Lifetime Knife buy one unless you lose it youve got it for Life lol

@@Jeffro of
suBwassertang, more like *sus* wassertang, cause no-one knows where it came from lol
Süßwassertang. It's like a double S. Not B
Suh-ss-wass-sir-tang. Freshwater seaweed (in German)
Süßwasser (Sweet/fresh water). There is an umlaut on the U, so it'd be closer to 'Sooss" vahsser tung"
Thank you! Every time I hear people say SUBwassertang, I cringe.
5:57 Dude, I'm not gluing ANYTHING to my wood, what's wrong with you?
Robin Ljungberg geez man chill. It’s so that it doesn’t drift away cause it takes a while to grab ahold of surfaces. No nid to be an ass
@@cc-nb5fb pretty sure this was a joke
