Thank you so much brother.
Nice looking tank

@@GCaquatics you’re welcome I appreciate you because I am learning how to do a planted tank that I want to set up
@@Smallfish16 I too am in the learning process, hopefully we can succeed together.
Looking good G&C!
@@dixsigns1717 thank you so very much Juanita I am a happy camper 😁
Dear Gabriel:
The species of Amazon sword plant you acquired appears to be Echinodorus bleheri. $12.00, for a specimen that size, in such good condition was a real bargain!
I’m very pleased that you enjoyed the swap meet. I was surprised, when I watched your, previous video, to note that you rented a motel room, for same. I went to a swap meet, last weekend. Getting there involved a 2.5 hour drive and the event only lasted a few hours. I did have a blast and purchased several items, at very good prices. I hope you find closer, such events, in future, to attend.
Please do not break your Amazon sword plant in half. That would likely kill it. The only way to propagate Amazon sword plants, from my experience, is to remove daughter plants from runners. Even this is risky. I removed two daughter plants, from the same runner and replanted them, only to have both expire. I recommend leaving daughter plants on runners as long as possible. It might even be best to root daughter plants, in the substrate and leave runners in tact, to deteriorate, on their own.
If you don’t have a water-test kit, please take a sample of the water from the tank, where all the plants died, to a pet store and ask them to test it (for free) for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. If any of those parameters are high, it will be necessary to get that sorted before adding fauna.
Thank you for sharing this, terrific update.
All my best,
Sincerely,
E. J. Brinegar
I am so happy to hear that you had a gerat time. I hope to see a video of your purchases. Thank you for the info on the plant i will ont break it in half. I too hope more shows like this happen closer to me so that i can check them out. thank you once again for your continued support brother.
Dear Gabriel:
My purchases, at the swap meet are now spread about my and Charles’ houses. I was very pleased, to get two bunches of jungle val (at $5.00/bunch) and the bunches were quite large. Other than that, I purchased three, small, plastic hides, at $1.00/each. I gave these to Charles, as he likes to glue hides, together and decorate and paint them. After which, he covers them with epoxy, making them aquarium-safe. I got a few items, for free, including a “Betta bed,” still in the original packaging. I got a fish net, which had a few holes in it. I sewed them up, with sewing thread. I was interested in bunches of floating crystalwort (Riccia fluitans), on offer, at $5.00/bunch, from the same vendor, who sold me the jungle val. But, I decided to forgo this species, as I haven’t had much success with it, in the past. Apparently, it is necessary to keep it in a tank, which has weak, water flow. I haven’t yet figured out how to keep plants, from becoming covered, in green hair algae, in such a set-up.
Charles purchased a couple bunches of Alternanthera reineckii; traded an aquarium, for a tall, corner tank, with a bow-front (about 10 gallons, in size); and, around a dozen, small mystery snails. He got a couple of heaters, for free, but hasn’t tested them, yet, to see if they work. He purchased two, large bags of bloodworm flakes and gave me a generous portion, of same. He purchased a few other items, as well. The experience, of the swap meet was very enjoyable.
I appreciate your enthusiasm and am very pleased to see that you acquired more than a trio of albino-red, delta-tailed, fancy guppies.
Keep up your, terrific hobby and YouTubing.
Sincerely,
Brinegar
@@ejbrinegar wow toast is awesome, I’m sure you guys can’t wait for the next one.
Nice big sword... Well with 12 bucks... Ya... A few more would of worked... But next time
@@stubbsaquatics6080 ya I totally agree, like I said my only regret.
Make sure you add root tabs to the area under the sword
I did i put on right in between the two new plants which is about 1" away from each one.
That sword plant was a great deal. I'm not sure if you split it through but anything is possible if you have roots on both half's it probably would work.
One thought about your blue moscows in your 125 there. I don't think the any babies will survive there pretty sure you angels and goramies will pick them off rather quickly
Thank you, yes the plant is nice and a great price i shoulda bout two. I have like 11 blue moscows in the room so they should be able to breed if the ones in the livingroom tank cant. I want some blue and some red im pretty darn excited.
Hello, I love swords plants
@@BwizzleAquatics same here I am VERY happy with my purchases.
@@GCaquatics my sword tank is crazy with them.
@@BwizzleAquatics I hope to have enough off spring to make this tank look better and put some in my other two planted tanks.
It looks good already, but I was like that.And Added a forest of swords
@@BwizzleAquatics thank you brother for the compliment, I'm just excited about what the future holds.
Don't split the sword. Wait until you get runners.
Thank you brother i will make sure and wait. sometimes i get inpatient :p
That amazon sword looks like a mother plant so will probley grow more plants
@@urbanexoticuk thank you for the info and I sure hope it does grow more 😁
@@GCaquatics i only know this as my mate got one in his shop and was about the same size
@@urbanexoticuk wow thank you for the info I’m pretty excited now 😁
Yeah I'm not a 100% sure, but I don't think you can just cut a stem and plant it. You'll need to wait till you get a runner then cut that and replant. Also it looks like the crown may be buried unless I'm just not seeing it clearly. I don't think you want the crown fully buried as it may not be about to produce off-shoots. This is really just my best guess because I'm no plant expert. It's a gorgeous sword plant and I'd hate for you to lose it. But please, let someone else more well educated on Amazon swords advise you than me. It's a great addition...congratulations!
@@FishRfun wow thanks for the info, if no one else says anything I will know to do some research.
@@GCaquatics you should reach out to Stefan at Lush & Salty Aquariums. He's a great guy and will know 100% the direction you should take. He won't mind a bit to give you some advice on it
@@FishRfun thank you sir.
The mother plant will have more shots then a normal plant
@@urbanexoticuk wow never heard of that, that is awesome.
@@GCaquatics do you have imstagram i will send you the photo of the mother plant my mate had in his shop
You should listen to your wife
@@air_ah_sa_lee bah humbug!!!
