On this video I'll show you how to create a windowsill aquarium bow. Super easy ,a great one to do with the kids. Here's the link for the seeds. www.amazon.co....
These have shown up on my Facebook ads quite often. I'm often hesitant about buying this sort of thing. Glad you are doing a video on this so I can see the results.
Just ordered some to do myself when I get my chanel up and running soon. Love all of your videos mate. So simply put and your knowledge on the hobby is vast. Thanks for sharing it with us .
never heard of bonsai lotus before, but I'm growing lotus in a plastic container (around 5 gal) right now. They need fertilizer every week or their leaves will shrivel away. I put a betta in the water so it won't harbor mosquito larva. I got those seeds from wild growing lotus from a certain marsh
Hey Mark.. I always enjoy your content..it's always cool to see what you are up to. Your creativity is the best and thank you for always sharing your experiences and tips!!
Thanks for the video Mark 👍🏼 I’ve never heard of these little plants 🌱, I’ve ordered some from eBay as the amazon seeds had a very long delivery time, and you’ve made them even more popular lol 😆
I love ur vids and I wish I could somehow support u more. Ur content is superb my guy. Ur really good at explaining and demonstrating these types of things, and you also make it fun to watch. Thank you for your content, and best of luck to you!
Dwarf Sagittaria! I’ve used this in various tanks over the years and while some stay around 2” to 3” but a lot really go for it and get to around 10”, and they don’t like being trimmed! Enjoyed this vid, it’s been a while since I saw a ‘dirtied tank’ demo. Will be interested to see how your lilies grow, will give them a try if yours go well!
@@MARKSAQUATICS Hi mark. i examined the soil at my stream and i remembered that the soil is already occupied with other aquatic/swampy plant roots, which i am worried that it may choke out the lily since it’s mainly dollar weeds which i heard were really bad. Since the soil is going to be submerged and the pre-existing root systems are going to going to be broken up, will they just rot and die or will they somehow find their way back since they are in a familiar environment?
Hey mark I know this has nothing to do with your video but I had a question about the dwarf puffers. I have 4 and while cleaning my tank I found what looked like 6 tea colored balls in my tank. I accidentally broke one and white liquid came out. Are they dwarf puffer eggs?
I live in Scotland, I have a bowl exactly like yours and I have ordered the bulbs from your link. What I am most intreated in is shrimp, I currently have 3 shrimp tanks, all with heaters. Do you think if I done mine exactly like yours, that shrimp would survive in there without a heater?
Hey Mark, I've tried growing a few of these now in different tanks, so has the wife. They sprout no problem and send runners to the top, a small furled up pad starts to form but then it turns brown and rots off. The bulb sends out new runners, but the same happens to them all. We've don't know what we're doing wrong. Do you have any idea? Cheers.
I've found that. The way I got around it was plant them in a long shallow pot / tray of good aquatic compost plant the seed and then cover the compost with small gravel. They need lots of food to grow properly. The reason the die off is lack of nutrition. Hope this helps.
I've grown these b4 and I was very disappointed bc it says u can grow them in just water and beads but all my plants b4 flowering just rotted im sure it was due 2 missing nutrients the dirt gives sigh sadly I wish I didn't listen to that person who said they can grow without dirt!! 😔
Hi Mark I have a 6oo ltr tank I have a container filter it's a 1000ef fluvial my tank is 6ft long by 3ft w by 4ft high is this filter big enough.I would love to win your filter thanks garry
@@MARKSAQUATICS always like your shrimp, maybe you can find something a little different, 3 - 4, maybe a color variant, and we can follow their growth as a colony.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I testes again and it died again... now I'm building an indoor mini pond and will throw some seeds in for an other test. How is yours going?

I got my seeds 5 days ago. I need to re-pot them soon, i dunno if I should put them in big pot or in an aquarium. How are these lotus now?
Just ordered mine! 40 for under a fiver. Bargain! Can't wait to try them.
After planting the dwarf lilies, do I need to keep the bowl warm?
I can't wait to see update becouse when i had them they died everytime
I'll let you know as they grow ok.
Ikke
For the first time I am growing lotus tubers outside in tubs. Already getting aireal leaves.
👏👍
Hello, Mark. There is a small stream in my backyard that has kind of a sandy/muddy soil in it. Will that be good for the lily?
Hi. Yes that would be fine to use.😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS Hi mark. i examined the soil at my stream and i remembered that the soil is already occupied with other aquatic/swampy plant roots, which i am worried that it may choke out the lily since it’s mainly dollar weeds which i heard were really bad.

Can you use tap water? Or do you need aquarium water
Tap water will work, aquarium or rain water is best.

They very well could be. If they are as they age they will take on a speckled appearance. Check out my pea puffer breeding videos in my playlists.
Ok I will thanks!

Yes they'll be fine in house temperature 🌡
Wheres the actual link ?
Wonder if they would work in an aquarium with fish in 👍keep up the good work Mate 🍻
Yes the warmer temperature will be good for them. 😀👍
What type of shrimp would you recommend Mark and could it be their permanent home?
Cherry shrimp are the easiest to keep.and yes it could be a permanent home for them. I've kept them in bowls for a couple of years with no problems.

@@MARKSAQUATICS That's brilliant. Thanks so much Mark, I really appreciate you taking the time to offer advice. I'll give that a go then. Cheers
Yes exactly what happened to me what was the stuff called that worked properly so they don't rot? I'll buy it and try yet again!
Don't they need sun after the leaves form?
Just ordered 10

Hi Gary.
make sure you comment on the filter giveaway video as that's the video that the random generator will pick from comments ok.
Thinking fish are needed. 2-3 Neons, a betta, a pair of guppies?
This bowl is to small for fish really. Shrimp would be best 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS always like your shrimp, maybe you can find something a little different, 3 - 4, maybe a color variant, and we can follow their growth as a colony.
Hey. How are these looking?
Do you know the scientific name of these 'bonsai lotus'?
I'll find out ok.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I have a feeling it's regular lotus. Can't wait to see what it grows into.

I have some bulbs not seeds
They grow, but as I know these cheap seeds will never flower.
I'll keep you posted ok.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks. I had no luck with cheap orderd lily seeds, but I still have some, maybe give another run for it.
@@MARKSAQUATICS I testes again and it died again... now I'm building an indoor mini pond and will throw some seeds in for an other test. How is yours going?
@@MARKSAQUATICS Oh and they are not water lily seeds but lotus seeds as a figured it out some days ago they are tottally different kind of plants.
