You can buy Subwassetang here marksshrimptanks.ecwid.com/Subwassertang-Golfball-Size-8g-p91606620
There was no sunswassetang to buy from the site you attached
i bought subwassertang because of your videos and then realized it floated everywhere and went looking for how to attach it.. here you are again !
Never seen the stuff until your videos, it almost looks like easter basket grass up close. 😂 I've had good luck tying moss onto things with disposable nylon hairnets, much less of a tangle and knot mess for me. Just cover the whole thing, twist and tie the end into a knot, and cut off the remainder. 😊 Can make some easy kokedama that way too.
Wow I’ve been using my subwassertang wrong!! It’s just been a mess in my shrimp tanks. THANK YOU
Mark I appreciate your enthusiasm. I can't wait to get a few shrimp. I just found a tall 15 gallon that I think will eventually be a shrimp colony. Newcomers will have to forfeit all worldly possessions and promise to go forth and multiply.
Thank you for this video! I got some subwassertang on a whim yesterday from my lfs, and I'm glad I saw this before I just dumped it into my tank lol
The subwassertang looks fantastic! Shrimp really do enjoy investigating new things... I put three nerite snails into my red cherry tank to help sort out the algae and the shrimps rushed them, crawling all over them - for a few seconds I thought they were going to eat them, lol!
Nerite snails are great for algea ,you can literally watch them mow through patches of it .
Thanks for the video, this helped me out when I added my Subwassertang to my theme tank.
Very welcome my friend :)
Wow! Fantastic! Thx! : D
I've been seaching for how this is done for quite sometime after first seeing these beauties in your tanks..
You'd replied to a question in anther video with a link here. Proof that it pays to *read the entire Comment Section.*
Absolutely love the look of the subwassertang. Still looking to find some since you answered what plant this were in a past video. Like the new intro too.
Thank You William ,I wish you luck finding some .
Finally got my hand on some. Let's say this plant survived one week in mail from Poland to Canada. My shrimp will love this. Again thank Marks for showing us this cool looking plant.
William Vincent Wow just the one week ! that is amazing service William ..I am waiting on a package from America and its been 6 weeks ..also waiting on stuff from China and its been 4 weeks lol seems you got the luck :)
Wonderful. Never heard of Swaassertang (I'm a neebie). Will look up.
I love watching your videos on my TV so crystal clear 😎😮😁 Great videos!
Thank you Kala, Picture quality is much better with the Iphone6 than my old windows phone :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks
Dilber Kaya Hi Dilber ,why do people say my name in my comment section like you have just done? I have asked but nobody has ever answer on it yet lol .
Marks Shrimp Tanks They comment your name because if they accidentally click on your comment it will reply. Our name pops up and if they click post instead of cancel your name is posted
What if you tied it to a sponge filter(not too tight so the sponge isn't smashed)? Would that prevent the filter from working? Seems like an easy way to hide a sponge.
I got some coming in today, gonna put these tips to use. Thank you!
great video i used it on engineer bricks for my shrimp tank which i am setting up thx
Thank you for showing this method, makes sense. I wasn’t using as much thread and it wasn’t working.
You’re welcome 😊
I have like... A million little bits and pieces of this stuff everywhere in my aquarium! I'm glad I saw this, now I no what to do with it
Thats good to hear, to let you know I started of with a tiny peice the sice of my pinky nail hahaha
Magic thanks Mark, I was wondering how tight to tie up the subwassertang, I had originally been advised to thinly spread the subwassertang and tie it up, but not knowing for sure had to search back for the best advice 👍
For a long time I wondered why the german word "wasser" is in Subwassertang and then I found out that it's actually spelled "Süßwassertang" and really is a German word. "ss" would be a more appropriate substitution for "ß" which is kind of an "s". "Süßwasser" is German for "fresh water" and "tang" is German for "seaweed". Süßwassertang is emphasized on the first syllable by the way.
Ahh here we go. I jus ordered some thanks for the great video!
Yeah its great stuff and it grows like a weed for me but I cant really grow moss ,I think my water might be toooo soft maybe :D
i watched the full Comercial thats how i show a major support ✊
lol I am so thick Deon ,you said the same thing to me before and I didnt know what you were talking about ,thanks my friend :)
Thank you for making this video I requested. Love it!
You are very very welcome :)
Must just not have tied mine enough when I tried last year. Now it's unruly and I needed answers. Glad found your video first. Thanks.
Curious to know more about the bottles of bio media over the outlet of the sponge filter. Sounds like a great idea if you have a how-to on that process. Thanks!
some of those filters were a bad idea, anything that floats thats made of stone or some kind of ceramics will grind against each other and make the water cloudy, the other thing is these were not shrimp safe, any time I had a power cut the shrimp would climb into them and when the power came back on they couldnt get out so in the end I removed them all to be on the safe side.
I died at that part when he said "I don't know if u guys wanna see me do this over and over again" man I love your videos man (Y)
Love the plants in your fish room. Subscribed!!
Thanks for the sub!
I have a question.Plant guy sent me a black wire (not thread) with the plants. Using wire to tie the moss or plants would be ok? Wire does not get rusty or something?It was black wire with thin metal in the center. Thank you.
Your tanks are so tidy....Mine are a jungle....subwassertang is like a rampant tumbleweed...
Hi can you please do a video where you attached it to your aquarium wall will really love to see how you do it, love your videos Marlene
I bought some mini subwassertang I love it because it’s actually thinner and looks more dainty I just can’t get it to stay on the wood starts out being real sturdy but eventually with water changes and vacuuming it ends up in the sink over the past six months it’s very frustrating I need something that it can go in and grow out of I don’t know what to do
What's the rate of growth?
just like tying your shoelace ✊ great job thanks for teaching
Thank you Deon :)
It is a very nice plant.I will have to find myself some here in Australia.
I love it,as you can see it grows really easy :)
Another awesome tip. I like the look of these plants but I am having a difficult time finding the same look here in the States. But I will keep looking. :)
I think it also gets called round pellia in the US if that helps any .
2001 subs! congrats!
Its saying 1998 for me hahaha cant complain it will be over 2000 today :)
Can you do another feature on this plant? Do you supplement your tank with anything? Do you trim the ends? Whats your tank parameters that allow it to grow THAT much in 6 months? I did this (as instructed) about three months ago and mine haven't grown any. Would love to know what makes your yields so successful! Thanks :)
all my tanks are softwater tank and thats probably why it does so well, I do have the odd harder water neocaridina tank and it doesnt really grow the same if that helps.
Marks Shrimp Tanks definitely interesting! Thanks for the reply. Love your channel!
Marks Shrimp Tanks do you know how soft the water should be for optimal growth?
May I ask what type of moss are those????
this is suwasssertang
Is this considered a fast or slow grower?
How can you tell the difference between subwassertang and pelia moss?
Does it grow better attached to something? Or does it grow better unattached to anything?
I just got some but it is sooo different that I don't know what to do with it... 🤔
when it is warmer can I buy some from you
Thanks for sharing - now I have to find me some subwassertang :)
if it was any other time of the year I would send you some ..its -15 tonight so I wouldnt like to be a plant in the post .
mark can i have some subwssertang too, just a small piece will do.
cem19771 I cant post or buy anything this time of the year because its so cold outside ,this morning its -10c sorry
no worries friend, i'm going to check local petco to see if they carry it, that's where i got my 3 little buddies.
big surprise last night spotted 2 baby cherry shrimp, kids were so excited they couldn't believe it.
Wonderful! How do you make that filter?
wow they will grow into those nice ball shapes? nice
yes they will.
@@MarksShrimpTanks How long will it take starting with the amount u showed us?
I think u mentioned 1 or 2 years in the video 😅 will it really take that long
@@firestyt3440 you get a decent sized ball in about 6 months.
@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks for the replies
great video!!!!
Thank you SATYA SWAROOP NANDA :D
Awesome thanks
You are very welcome Gijs Stollman :)
You have got some beautiful subwassertang clumps.... :-)
I really wanted to call the video (How I grow my big green balls) but I thought the ladies would get abit frisky :D
LOL... would have been funny if you called!!!
I changed it lol
I’ve watched a handful of your videos. I’m going to try tying some susswassertang in the near future. But wonder what you would say is the average time it takes to establish to the wood. And do you cut and pull out the threads after that time??
you should be able to get a decent attachment and ball like the size of an orange in about 5 months, all the thread eventually just rots away.
Attaching moss onto things is a real fiddly pain. I've just done a load of moss pads this week, after a while a started to get band hand cramps. What's your favourite moss Mark?
No idea my friend ,I do have two types I think one of them is just the standard Javamoss and the other is a weeping type no Idea of the name though :D
you making mind blowing bro
mind blown lol
Hi Mark where did you get your subwassertang from? Struggling to come across in stores (Scotland also)
I actually got a tiny piece in a shrimp order which I grew.
I'm very confused as I've read that Süßwassertang is the same as "Monosolenium tenerum" but again I've also read it isn't :S Can you help me on this one? I'm only using Tropica products, and Monosolenium tenerum is all they got :)
It's a fern in the Lomariopsis genus actually, but it's still an undetermined species.
You’ve gotten me hooked on Subwassertang, but I’m still not a fan of snails. Being that it’s so sensitive, is there anything you can safely dip the Subwassertang in to kill snails and their eggs before adding it to your tank? I know things like Alum and Potassium Permanganate will kill snails, but not the eggs. Is there anything safe to use that will kill snails and their eggs, but not Subwassertang?
I would have said Alum too and I have tried a few different percentages of bleach dips and its killed everything so far.
How about shipping cost?
Mosses stick to lava rock the best because it's porous :)
I will have to get me some ,thank you :)
hi Marks, i love your channel. This plant is Lomariopsis lineata?
It is and thank you for the kind words :)
Keep up the good work
Thank you WanObi1972 ,cool name by the way :)
Haha yea i am a Star-Wars lover and Shrimp lover
Currently i only have 1 CR Aquarium and awaiting for a long time at some Neo caridina
Aquarium are ready for them though
WanObi1972 Thats good to hear,I am going for yellow neos and probably bloody mary shrimp next after Ive finished this bluebolt tank.
Hi Mark.
How tightly would you say you tie your Subwassertang to the wood? I notice you seem to have put quite a bit of tension on the threads. Would there be a possibility if tied too tightly that the thread would cut through the subwassertang?
yeah dont tie it to tight it will be sliced I think.
@@MarksShrimpTanks ok thanks mark.
Hi Mark, another great vid, can I ask what lights you use on your tanks please?
Just now I am changing over to DIY LED security lights on most of my tanks :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks 👍that was the answer i was looking for, thanks again.
You are welcome sir :)
I use a Twinstar 900s led which is pretty bright. How does this plant do in high light?
No idea, I have only used in in low light tanks
Just got some of the stuff. Weird plant,I couldn't find a root on it anyplace. I just tied it down to wood like any other epiphytic plant. Mine is living on part time twin 40 watt fluorescent lights and a large window that baths it and the rest of the tank in sunlight.
We will see.
It doesnt have any roots but it can attach itself to things
So far Mark,its growing..but if I hadn't tied it down,it would be in pieces as I still dont get the feeling its attaching. Any fish nibble,and some breaks off..or a current. Plecos..
It doesnt handle fish disturbance well. Unlike the mosses.
For sure a plant for a very calm tank and totally peaceful calm fish-lol.
how do you make sure the wood doesnt rot
Its hard wood ,eventually though it will disappear but we are talking years
With my water being a bit hard, will the subwassertang not grow as fast, turn brownish or possibly die?
probably yes, it doesnt grow so well in my harder neocaridina tanks
I might buy some of this (any ideas where I can get some cheap) also what are you feeding your shrimp at the moment. Great Videos 👍👍
www.garnelen-tom.de/zwerggarnelen-shop/Suesswassertang-Lomariopsis-lineata-100ml
I feed alot of different foods look in my food playlists for ideas :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks I'm English haha
ya want some crazyfrog 360 no scopes a bin You can change the language on the page lol
bottom left :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks I found some on ebay thanks 👍👍
Hi Mark can I ask why my shrimps die after they mould? They don't seem to mould successfully unlike my other shrimp tanks. I have to transfer my remaining shrimps to other tanks so I don't have all deaths. I have one hang on filter,one sponge filter and a large hang on fan so I have given all that is require to make them comfortable but I still have deaths in that tank.
Lack of minerals and nutrients possible, look for foods that contain calcium and chitin ect in the ingredients and feed it to them on a rotation with your other foods. let me know how you get on :)
Do you fertilize your tanks at all? Or is it just substrate?
Just substrate :)
Do you trim the subwassertang to keep it in that lovely shape?
I dont but you can ,if you were artistic you probably could make it into shapes .
Thanks, that's great!
Hey man, any tips on breeding cherry shrimp my previous shrimp died dont know why ? how long will it take for them to breed ? (berried female)
Sure do my friend , How To Breed The Red Cherry Shrimp - Neocaridina Davidi th-cam.com/video/FTgGktfSjw0/w-d-xo.html
If you have berried female it should be just a few weeks until she has baby's ,maybe 3-4 weeks at the most depending on the temperature of the tank.
Marks Shrimp Tanks i wish i had berried females , my previous ones die on me i dont know why
Alex Cordovez thing you want to avoid is big water changes and feeding to much Alex.
Marks Shrimp Tanks Whatbdo you recommend i feed them ?
Alex Cordovez Any kind of algae wafer is fine,1. the absolute best practice is to give them a certain amount ..watch if they eat it ..then remove after 2 hours.
2. Then the next day give them a little less and repeat step 1.
after a few days you will have worked out the exact amounts to feed :)
probably a stupid question :P but, lets say I bought from you and they grow big and I have to much and want to sell, do I just trim them and all the small leaves that you cut off can be plantet again or do you actually need to use like the bottom part of it that is stuck to the driftwood?
These things eventually break away from what you tie them to so yes in a year or so you have to start all over again,if you wish to sell parts of it you can just pull them apart.
Almost at 2000 Subs mark your doing great .... tanks looks great 🤗🤗🤗
Tanks :D
Hi Mark! Your aquariums are very beautiful! how much light is needed in the tank 35 liters to grow this plant?
Hello Рамиль ,all my tanks are what I would say is low light conditions ..lights are on 12hrs a day :)
thank you for answer Mark! Could you give an example of some your tank? volume of tank and light power of lamp. I will try to calculate necessary light power for my tank (35 litres). And another question: do you dissolve CO2 in your tanks or may be pouring fertilizers. Sorry for my English ))) I'm from Russia and my English is not so good.
Рамиль ХР Your English is fine so dont worry about it.
I dont use CO2 or ferts apart from what leeches from the soil.
On the two largest tanks I run 2 x 36w t8s at 6500k.
On the smaller ones I run a mix of LEDS and energy saver light bulbs.
On my newest tank it has one 20w led security light :)
thank you Mark! now it's clear for me about lamps )) Today I found a magazine which sells plants. Could you see this plant on this link ammania.ru/akvariumnye-rasteniya/lomariopsis-lomariopsis-lineata Is it the same as you grow?
Рамиль ХР Yup that is the one ,Is it not to cold to send things in the post in Russia ?here its very cold and plants would die if I put them in post .
Really nice video :) This would work for moss as well right? And what bulbs are you using for your lower rack? at 14:00
Oh yeah it will work for moss,the lights are GU10 leds 6-9 watts I think :)
you get amazing growth from it!
all my lights are pretty weak and thats probably why I have success with subwassertang :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks think your right.I ve got sibwassertang that started with small pieces...just Ithonk an expressocup amount..my tank doesn t have a own light yet and does fo fine with the light in my bedroom at night and during the day geys some light from avross the rooms windows.My shrimps are loving the tank and breeding constantly..the subwassertang is growing allmosy out of my 40loyets nano cube after 2 months without any fertilizer.
Hi again mark. Do you use any fertilizer in your shrimp tanks? And what about subwassertang... Does it require fertilizer?
no nothing at all ,some ferts will leach out the soil ..it basically likes low light and clean water .
Marks Shrimp Tanks that's a good plant in other words 😂
iLive2Ride76 oh yeah definitely :D
Hey nice video. But it's called Süßwassertang or Süßwassertang. Süsswassertang meaning freshwater in German 👍
Its actually an unnamed species of Lomariopsis, Subwassertang is just an evolution of the word Süßwassertang because ß sounds like z or s in English .
Hi Mark! Is that a Purigen pack in your tank? I've been wanting to put one in my crystal tank but I was nervous! Do you find that it works and the shrimps do well with it? I have one from Aqua Vitro for plants.
Yes it is ,I like that extra clarity purigen gives a tank :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks oh yay! I'll be putting that in today! Thanks for the quick reply, love your videos I've learned so much from watching them! I love these tiny critters
Mark, do they grow without Co2 and ferts?
Yes Sir ,I think I have just stumbled on their preferred water conditions ,Low light and very clean water :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks thanks Mark, i got 1dl of this in the mail today, gonna tie some of it down to a piece of wood and the rest into a moss dome. The texture was different of what i thought it would be. I thought it would be more slimey but it feels like any other moss.
What is the lighting requirements for it to grow?
Mine are not growing
Lighting doesnt matter so much but I big difference when it grows in soft water compared to hardwater
Marks Shrimp Tanks Uh-oh...so which is better for it, hard or soft water?
Hi Mark will you post to South Africa ? please
For plants yes I ship to south Africa ,Link should be in the description
:)
Thanks Mark order done.I am just starting out i have 20 cherry shrimp and i am struggling to get what i need in SA I'm also looking for mineral stones any suggestions?
By the way i love your video's they are very informative
Thank you ,cant help you with the mineral stones for some reason they are like goldust just now ,You can try ProShrimp in the UK he might have them :)
Hi Mark, I wanted to please ask for advice; I've got 5 crystal reds in a 10l dennerle nano cube, and am currently trying to optimise their living conditions. The breeder I got them from, had them in water at 280 TDS, which is pretty insane I thought; would it be recommended to change 1/20th of the water each day until I get the TDS down?
I did this once tonight and noticed a few moults, the last thing I want to do is incur deaths via moulting.
Thanks
Best thing you can do here is remove the Shrimp from the tank completely ,fix the TDS and then reacclimate the shrimp back to the new conditions .doing it this way will save you alot of time and hassle .Do 1 drip every 2-3 seconds and drip aslong as it takes to get them to match your new tds ok :D
Cheers, i'll work something out and try that; I'm seeing a lot of people over here (Scotland) keeping crystals in tapwater, high temps, high tds etc; goes against everything I have read...they breed too! Can't vouch for the quality though, which is perhaps the biggest difference
Colin _ another Scotsman eh :D
och aye!
where do you get your shrimp I want some they are very beautiful
If i have to buy shrimp it will be from a guy called Garnelen Tom in Germany ..but its winter here now in Norway so I cant sell /send/receive Shrimp by post because they would freeze .
Marks Shrimp Tanks when it is warmer can I buy some from you pl
Marks Shrimp Tanks I would love it if you would sell me some fish
Jisun Zaman Shipping from Norway is super expensive I made a video about it th-cam.com/video/1bO-sUNKGqE/w-d-xo.html
Marks Shrimp Tanks if you would email me at jisunz994@gmail.com thanks mark
Hi Mark.. that is such a cool plant! I wonder if I can get it here.. and if it would be good for my planted tank!
Might be good for your planted tank you will have to try it if you can get a hold of it :)
I would love to.. it's really pretty how it forms little bushes!
You can attach subwassertang to aquarium objects with superglue! Superglue won't harm the tank or inhabitants.
hello mate, thanks to share your information. I have a question about care this plant in the pot . is it possible I keep it in the 1 litter clear glass pot near window ? or it need water flow ? cheers
I have tried this before and as long as you give it water changes its good
thanks ... so I must change the water regularly ?
10% a week is all i do ☺
What kind of wood do you use?
I think all the wood I have is malaysian driftwood.
i love your vids, but SUBWASSERTANG???
it is Süßwassertang, which just means freshwater seaweed, and it is spelled zuess-vosser-tongue. or just call it pellia, that is also wrong, but at least it doesn't sound horrible.
I am not German so why would I say Süßwassertang ? Its generally accepted to call the plant Subwassertang in the English langunge.
@@MarksShrimpTanks wow you answered ^_^
2000 sub?
almost ,will pass 2000 today :D
This is a common mistake, but there is no "b" in this plant's name. The plant's name is German. The "b" looking letter is an Eszett (German sharp "s"). This is an Eszett: ß. It is pronounced with a strong "s" sound. (To type an Eszett on a Mac, type Option and "s".) Süßwasser means freshwater in German. Tang means seaweed in German. Therefore, Süßwassertang means "freshwater seaweed" in German.
It would be a mistake IF i spoke German but I am not.
@@MarksShrimpTanks it's not about inability of speaking German. It's simply the correct spelling and pronunciation of the common name of the plant.
How can it possible be the correct spelling when I dont use German letters ?? you say it the way you want to and I will say it the way I want to.
@@MarksShrimpTanks, the English language uses many words from other languages: French, Spanish, Latin, Greek, etc. This is especially true in using a genus of many common aquarium plants, such as Cryptocoryne, Vallisneria, or Echinodorus. It's not a personal matter of choosing how to spell a name. All I am stating is the fact that what is viewed as a "b" is actually a German sharp "s" (ß is called an Eszett - which one can just spell "ss"). Susswassertang (or Süßwassertang) is the correct spelling (loosely translated meaning "freshwater seaweed"). You are free to cross-reference this.
Hi Mark, Thank you for the great content! You mentioned that you thought it might collect nutrients from the wood. I have several clippings donated from a friend free floating in one of my tanks but I haven't seen much growth in several months time. Do you think they'd fare better attached? Thanks!
Hello Keven ,I have notice it does better on wood and will actually stick itself to it if that tell you anything.:)
