Cory how does java fern do in a hi tech tank system
Oh my heart, those puffers 💜🐡💜🐡💜
Ikr
Oh wow so that's why my java fern hasn't been doing well for so long. I've been burying all of it into gravel and sand. They reproduce a lot, but they look terrible 😭 thank you for this video even though it's pretty old! I learn to NOT bury java fern
My husband just gifted me Java fern for my 15 gallon fish tank and i'm so excited to learn about this plant and see it thrive!!!
Those puffers are so adorable!! I love that they all came to the front of the tank. I just got a java fern and I'm testing it out for the first time. I'm a plant grower but not with aquaponics. It's something new I'm getting into. Thanks for sharing. Your java fern is gorgeously huge lol
I have a java fern and all the pods are growing roots there has to be 30-40 of them sprouting now not sure what i am going to do with all the new plants but it is exciting to see them growing new plants.
Love to see your aquarium plants 😍
Thanks Cory
The best video seen yet!
Holy smokes that's a monster fern!
Do you have any info on how to care for these java ferns? I'm sorry, but I really didn't get much out of this video on the care part... I'm just trying to learn a little more 🙄 not trying to be mean or disrespectful. I've had a few issues with growing these and they're browning a whole lot lately.
agreed…
hello! awesome video, really appreciate the advice. just discovered that you aren't supposed to plant the rhizome.. now it all makes sense as to why my java ferns and anubias started looking so awful! haha as you can tell I'm a beginner. I was just wondering how you get your java fern to grow so beautifully in big bunches like those in your tank? in other words do you start with multiple plants or can I achieve this with just one and it will grow? also does the size or driftwood/rock it is attached to matter? thanks so much in advance! look forward to more awesome videos.
Mostly it takes time. Takes a while to grow in for sure, the more you start with the faster you get results.
So can I like put it on the creases of my driftwood will it grow like that
Thanks for the info! If one of the leaves comes off but still has juveniles on it and the base of the stem looks dead and dried up should you cut it at the stem so leaf will stay alive and float untill the young can be propagate?
tried gluing Vesicularia to rocks and they looked really good. When I went to bed, all of the plants looked fine. When I got up the next day all the plants had come off the rocks and had migrated all over the bottom of my tank. Still looked really pretty, but was not what I had wanted. What did I do wrong.
When the sprouts have roots, what should I do? Cut them of and plant them in another area of the tank or leave them be?
love ur videos mate. have u done a video on what are good lowtech carperting plants?? i had a look on ur page but having trouble finding one, im shore u have if anyone could link me :)
I decided I absolutely can't stand tying plants to rocks, so I decided to use suction cups and fishing line to secure the plant and attach it to the black glass. I do not have the rhizome/roots buried in the gravel. But they're also not touching wood or rock either. They are kind of positioned with the roots hovering above the gravel. Is this fine?
Why don't you carry needle leaf anymore? Looking to buy some
Hi mate. I saw a video a while back about the FLUVAL 3.0 light for plants.
I have a tank with low light plants like these Java Fern, Amazon Swords etc and I wondered how I should set my 3.0 for low light. When it’s on 100% it is way too bright and I am trying to get the balance of the three whites, red and blue right for my plants. Any idea ?
very educational well done . well explained . ty
hi
I have a 7 gallon tank with java fern in it...I have 11 watts pl light on it...I have put co2 injection....1 bubble per 4 second....n dosing 5ppm nitrate n 2 ppm phosphate n 7 ppm of potassium(twice a week) n seachem micronutrient mix 1 ml twice a week....n 50 percent water change....its been 25 days I started this tank...n the tank matured before I added java fern...but java fern doesn't seem to look well as in yo videos....kindly help me out on this....do I have to do by changes....
If one of the leaves is brown, do you have to cut it? Thank you so much!
Hey, i just got a bunch of javafern and it has real long leafes. Can i just cut the leaves i half to fit my shallow tank?
Should I get the flourish product for these? I wrapped some on driftwood with marine safe wire. I couldn’t find plant glue or fishing line anywhere here. It looks so pretty against the driftwood. I did wind up getting plant glue though and I may glue them to the driftwood. Thanks for the recommendation for these!
You should get some fertilizer yes. Flourish is on the lower end of potency. Our easy green is a better value for most aquariums. www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/type_fertilizers/products/easy-green-all-in-one-fertilizer
How fast they do grow?
Cory.. what the best way to store/keep live plants until I am ready to plant? right now I have them in a bucket of water.. but they aren't looking well
In a fish tank with ferts and a light really
@@AquariumCoop OK ty Joe
I have java fern that I bought and it came with black looking leaves, after months it still has new growth and still black leaves, what can I do?
It's a low light plant. So would a 48 inch 40w tube be enough for java fern in a 75gal?
Yep
What are close beautiful blue colored fish
Can I plant it in substrate I got no clue oh I have got the normal Java fern
+Fish Life it does best of it sits on top of the gravel really. Or rock and wood etc.
Omg I'm such a an idiot! One of my Java leaves had a few little "weird" pod things on the under leaf. Totally thought it was rot or something nasty and pulled it off! 😬
Can I stick the java fern to aquarium decorating items like houses, barrels etc that are mostly made of resin?
yes, you can.
Mine is growing on a plastic vase.
Can these plants grow with standard lighting from the average fishtank? The black lid ones.
Typically yes. Lower quality light will just mean slower growth
3:40 Video titled "caring for-", doesn't say literally anything about caring for them until 3:10
Java Fern in a 6 gallon aquarium with one betta fish and no substrate. HOB filter with only biological and mechanical filtration. Java Fern free floating. WC once per week, approx 20%. Should I add fertilizer to the water column? If so, what brand?
john doey no you dont need to
what type of fish is that with the orange and black stripe down the middle?
Denison barb
How do I get the plant to grow big, mine that I just got is already propagating a lot but I don't know if it is growing bigger. (I got mine at pet supplies plus and the lady gave me 4 for the price of one, that was good)
Lots of time, and feeding it good nutrients, it's a real slower grower.
Do you know if you could plant this on coconut shells?
Yep, totally can.
I've been using coconut fiber mats ... Pet smart... 5$ 20x10" cut into 3x4 squares works for me .. Soak first if you dont like brown water tie losely with fishing line to hold it till it takes root then snip line.. I've got 20 or so small baby plants took me bout 4 months dont discard old leafs they grow new babys good luck
How do we attach it to the rock or wood?
Super glue gel
Are you supposed to plant Java fern or just free float
Hello, I have just got rid of my JF 'cos it is just a messy plant - in my experience at least. Leaves constantly dying and sprouting babies which are unsightly. I love the leaves of this plant but never seem to have plants with them unless they are sprouting babies. What can I do to ensure I have good and dense leaf coverage and less "baby sprouting" ? Baby sprouting leaves are dying so the plant does not look nice. My set up is low tech and reasonable light. It is a planted tank of 120 lit.
+i Digit what are you fertilizing with and is your java fern planted on wood or rock?
Aquarium Co-Op Hey. I don't fertilise regularly because the tank is low tech. I yend to let the "waste" do the fertilising. every now and again I activate the UG filter to pass a current through the substrate, other than that this tank is largely left alone except for the water changes and top ups .... approx every 2 to 3 weeks. The tank is actually hassle free, almost "self sustaining". The ONLY plant that does not do well is th JF. I have no rock nor wood in the tank so the initial rhizome was planted in the gravel ( I have inert gravel not plant media ) to simply anchor it. the rest of the rhizome is exposed to the water - like my anubias, but the anubias are doing great.
.i have some java ferns here. They were going good, giving birth to plantlets and etc. But suddenly, they got black. Leaves got rotten. If i act quickly, i can romove the rotten leaves and new ones grows. If i take time to act, i lose the plant. My questions are: how to avoid this? Java fern does not support heat? Or doesnt support strong lights (my light is not so strong)? Lacks of nutrients? Long photoperiods? How to avoid the so called java fern disease ? i read about on the internet but ppl say its lacks of nitrogen or lacks of potassium, but i dont see a real reason about it. I divided the tank in two zones: light zone and shadow zone (just indirect light), the ferns are on the shadow zone and yes the plant is not rottening anymore, but is not giving many plantlets as before..can you help me? thx
Can java fern remain in the pot and having the pot sitting in the aquarium floor my local fish store has them in pots
No
i know this is bit late but why is the java moss i brought in big ball?
A little late haha. But if you're still wondering, it's probably one of those fake moss balls that EzoTerra and other companies make. They're meant to resemble moss balls, but are only java ferns wrapped in balls. They can still be beneficial to your tank, just plop em in and they'll be grow. Not very fast, but they will.
Is it ok to keep that many little neon tetras in a 20 gallon tank?
This was filmed at Aquarium Co-op. It’s a store so will have heavily stocked tanks since the fish are for sale. They also have ample filtration
hi
How long would it take for a Java Fern like your $4 sale piece to end up being bushy like the opening video shot?
I've glued some onto driftwood and looking forward to seeing it get bushy but I can't see much growth.
Most aquascaping videos seem to use "mature" Java Fern (all varieties) rather than a single rhizome with a few leaves so it's difficult to know how long it takes to get the final, "grown-in" bushy look.
Thanks
Update?
@@showtime0942 not yet. I'm curious too
Will totally depend on your individual tank and levels of nutrients available to support plant growth. Java fern is very slow growing for most people
can I add java fern to my 5 gallon tank?
Yes
You said it’s a 20 gal? How many tetras you got in There ?
Filmed at a retail store.
IM trying to identify mine, Mine has white/beige thicker roots...
its a melon sword
my java fern leafs going black, what is wrong with it?
So am i better waiting to buy my java until i actually have fish in the tank?
my java fern is rottening when i attached it to a drift wood with rubber band. it was fine when it was under gravel. help me pls.
Well hmm,.. if it was doing better b4 ,then one would realize that's prolly best way for that plant?? you would think so rite?? ?
I had crazy glued some Wendelov fern to driftwood & rocks,.. same thing happened !! except w/rocks, they adhered to them & grew really well, only thing happened on driftwood was that it turned brown like it was dead and ends became lil plants themselves. Idk if that suppose to happen or was this normal process for plant to die, turning leaves brown but at ends of each leaf was a new small plant starting to develop. i leave alone and month later i had bunches upon bunches of tiny versions of that plant. Whenever it gets to be a certain size it does same thing. I can't get them to look bushy to save my life. ;)
Can you just tie it in the wood?
Yep
Say you can get it for 3-5 buck but sells for 12.99 on his website lol I’m sure he gives a nice bunch for the 13 dollars
Java Fern is not an aquatic plant. All ferns are terrestrial plants.
Java Fern is farmed on land in commercial nurseries.
Commercial nurseries can grow java fern 100 times faster and better on land than underwater.
Java Fern can survive underwater for a short period when periodically flooded during the rainy season.
For most of the year they grow on the water’s edge, either with their roots in water or moist soil.
Forcing Java Fern to live underwater all the time their leaves will be infested with algae.
Terrestrial plant detests living under water all the time.
In an aquarium setting Java Fern gets stunted with algae.
I only have algae issues in tanks with Java ferns. Can’t grow it for the life of me 😂
Attaches faster than anubias but isn't a great looking plant, always got ugly black spots where baby plants come out, but ain't no nice looking plant
lol mother plant for $80 9 years ago
Not a single word about care besides it’s a low light plant
Thanks Cory
