start at beginning of the year once snow is gone, new budding/growing grass takes hold better then stuff that over 3 inches and planted into tank, also submerge grass roots in a bowl of tank water for 24 hours to decreese root shock.
Nice. Good tips and spring is here.
I just plan some in my aquarium and my fish & shrimp are loving it 💯
That's awesome
I have grass in my tank... it's been in their for 5 months it works for me..
Betta, animals, and more do you have to have sunlight?
Mondo grass works just fine for me
I'm doing the same experiment with a houseplant fern.
One full month submerged and still green.
I'm monitoring it very closely because some new branches seem to be growing (very very slowly).
Awesome
I trim my lawn like I trim my plants lol awesome
Lol. Yeah this was awhile ago. Spoiler alert. It didn't work. Haha
Its awesome
#worshipsongsbydaniel
Holy grass i mean holy cow who would have thought that some thing we see every day would look that good. I don't think anyone ever tried that. I never heard of it , cool.
Thanks. It did eventually die after a few weeks
😕 I knew it was too good to be true. Back to Petsmart for a small packaged clump of $10 aquarium dorf hair-grass.
I accidentally got a little bit of lawn grass when I was grabbing some moss outside for a new aquarium. It's doing very well so far.
+Ron Johnson it will die eventually
Is it still going?
How long did it last
When it gets really large, move it to the back as a "background" plant. Nice tank! Im so trying that for my 20g
Noooo don't try it. The grass doesn't grow for more than a week
It's just gravel with root tabs and liquid ferts
I'm using the exact same substrate
I thought I was the only one thinking to do this. Gonna try for sure
Spoiler alert. It does. Sorry
I wondered this, I have crabgrass and bermuda. Add it grows so quick that I just take patches out. I'm also trying to find a way to filter out my tank without the need of constant filter Replacements or emptying the tank so often because my fish don't like it. And if I can use lawn grass to filter my tank and clean it, that sounds perfect. I'm wondering even if weed dandelions will grow underwater for the same purpose.
The grass eventually died in a couple weeks
Keep us posted. From what I understand it will do OK for a while and then end up dying off.
Abit late but float the grass on the top by doing that the grass gets air an the roots under water I have done this for ages an works great now have roots down to the bottom on one part an the grass growing out the top all I do is cut it an that's it
🌱👍🏻
Lol thanks Nick. Yeah I figured it would die in a couple weeks, just wanted to try it
This is amazing!
Thanks bro. Will sub you. I will update on the lawn grass growing in the tank
I will try
I prove it today,hope it works
It does not. Lol
Does it work half submerged, like the leaves on top , roots submerged
No. It dies
It does work half submerged
To funny. Experts always think outside the tank lol. Great job
Lol. It did die
I am tryng this one. Been thinking about this for a while.
It usually dies but good luck
Update soon. Spoiler alert. It died
How long did it last?
@@princetrophies if your aquarium temperature is below 50F it can last for 40 to 60 day in tank without decaying. if above 50F it can last for only 5 to 6 days
I wonder if substrate would make a difference hehe I have sand and want to try this, only found your video googling if it was a possibility! Lmao thanks for the update!
Ahahahahahaha
i already done this method earlier...... some of the land gasses grows underwater......
Glad I ran into this channel I put the same in my tank a few weeks back and it’s doing fine 🫡. I also have a pond near by I just collect anything near and in
That's so crazy, thanks for sharing😄 thats awesome that you have grass from your lawn in there.. Is it ok for the tank? Hows it doing?
It ended up dying after a while
Thank you for giving me some insight. I am trying to recreate the Blackwater habitat. I already have moss aside soaking to get rid of all the dirt. I will definitely try the lawn grass and make sure to rinse it properly
It dies. Save yourself the trouble. Try some botanicals. I have some videos on my Blackwater setup
Land moss (any kind) grows well underwater.
Thanks for the info :)
I am going to try it.
👍🏻
WTF - that’s brilliant!
Lol. 🌱🌱🌱
Came across this at around 1 am last night next thing you know you see me going out side digging up grass washing it and planting it 😂 have some by the window growing out the roots in some water from my aquarium , have some in my aerated waterfall filter acting like aquaponics, planted some and have somemore doing aquaponics just on top of my Betta tank with a potato lmao , did the potato 2 days ago already growing roots
Lol. Nice
You are a madman. I really don't think this will work in the long run. Terrestrial plants typically survive in a waterlogged state for a little while, but ultimately I think it will drown/suffocate. It certainly won't hurt your fish though. Good luck on the experiment. Guess we'll see in a few weeks.
Everybody who was a established tank go outside and secretly steal some free grass from your neighbors...
+Randy Guangzhou haha
Randy Guangzhou they'd end up saying get off my lawn!😂
I would welcome you because there’s too much grass in my backyard
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Update on the grass in your tank, please
It died
I dropped grass seeds by accident into my tank and the seeds sprouted in 3 days. And it looks vibrant too...
Cool
I just put few today . Let see....how many time it's need to die
2 weeks
A very interesting vid hope this works out in the long run 👍🐟🐠
Do it Stella work
I have the same feeling. It will probably melt any time now.
I just tried it with my pond and they have been alive for about a week
Awesome
Hey is the grass still growing?
Unfortunately it didn’t last long
Wow !!! would be great if it did survive and would love to know the result :)
I believe onion grass with the round blades will grow underwater...you can always grow rice!
True
Do you think this would be a replacement for guppy grass? And I wonder what would happen if I never trimmed it?
It does in a few weeks😢
can u put some in fresh water fish like gold fish
+merman Mikey yes
This is a freshwater tank? Correct me if I’m wrong but I see a few runny nose tetras and a molly and a ciclid of some kind
if it sticks out the water it works not for jumping fish try with minnows or goldfish or other non jumping fish
Coo coo coo
@@MASSAquariums U are replying to a message, but you made the video 8 yrs ago
Ok so 9 years later what was the outcome. I have a bit grass in jar submerged as a test subject.
It died after a week or so
Would It work in sand?
Nope it dies
Thanks for the info
Bloody hell will it works with pebbles I have blue sand and pebbles
MASS Aquariums aw
any updates on this? I'm going to try for my massive goldfish tank
It ends up dying
Did it trive? I'm planing to put some lawn grass in my tank as well
It died. Sorry
Petsmart sells lawn grass for 10.00.
Lik
What
What kind of grass is it
+Katelyn France fiscue
I wonder how it will do with the roots in the water but leaves above in an extra hob. I have golden pothos that has grown from 4 inches to 6ft with the roots in the water.
Yes. Pothos is awesome
i have photos in my betta tank .. stems in the water and the leaves out of the water and some of them are growing leaves and even new branches actually under the water was very surprised to see this and been making my kinda wonder if i could put them under water completely.. thinking it would prolly just die though as it wouldnt be adapted to underwater the way the new shoots are now
It actually does great in your tank if you switch it with new grass every couple days!
Hmmmmm
I wonder if it would survive with co2
It died
Oh man youll habe runners all over your tank soon!
Haha. It died
This actually works
It does not. Dies in a couple weeks
What about if I went to the pond and pulled plants but disinfected them in 19 cups water and 1 bleach
@@joshfreeman8961 if you do that make sure to dechlorinate it b4 adding to the tank or it will kill your fish
PetSmart sold me Mondo Grass. I heard it will rot ?
+Scott Danziger never heard of it
I really enjoy your videos as I used to live in the north east. The people are great. I have a question . The person who helped me set up the tank put a big bag of charcoal in a penguin 200 with the filter pad. This is a 29 gal planted tank with eco complete and gravel. I put in flourish and a few API root tabs. Will all that charcoal adsorb the nutrients for the plants ?
Monde grass will rot is is a scam used by petco and petsmart it isn't even a bog plant and will doe if any part is submerged except root
Exactly right. Already dead.
Damn right! I bought mondo grass from petsmart as well for 5 bucks. And mine rotted too.
I would do this but I’m kind of worried about bringing diseases and parasites to my tank. Is that possible?
U should have tiger barbs in ur tank 😁 they would look nice there
Thanks. I do like them
Do you have to have light? Or in front of a window???
It doesn’t grow
Which plant is that big leaf plant near the glass

My question is , I live in the south (Memphis tn) and started to think to myself after seing this video if it would be safe to use Bermuda grass and if so lawn doctor does there standard treatment sprays but what I'm asking is since it has been quiet some months since they have done so , will it be safe to add to a fish tank , preferably a 2.5 gallon tank thnx to any and all who help in advance :)
You could try but most grasses will die
I just had a chance to see the work order , do you think it will be safe if they treated the lawn in October for my fish
I just saw, on a nature program that grass can survive floods, fires, droughts, grazing, insects, etc.
It died
Hi mike. This is really awesome. How fast it's I might try some come spring, mabey in back some where. Thanks for sharing ur experiment . I'm working on my first palurarium. I have pic on google plus.
Kaye
Dah I feel real dumb. I am on. Google....Kaye. hahaha
Lasted about a week. lol. Just a crazy experiment but trust me it will never last. Thanks for watching
Can all types of garden grass go in? the really thin fat grass?
No. It ends up dying eventually
Oh ok would this grounding be good for a type of water grass. Not yawn grass?
_lh3.googleusercontent.com/ac9DDc_uaj9vNJDjU9o2j9VxlXjP30-MktosP-fB9CzBGNQU-qwJXgjopDUTy3dsyPyfneY0qA_
Yeah
Not all. You can do an adventure (like me) in marshy lands and look for the plants that grow in there. There's a higher chance that marsh plants can live in submerged condition because marshy lands are always wet (though not flooded) but maybe sometimes areas for floods.
Was there any update to this?
It died after a few weeks
Is it actually fine to put grass in a betta tank
It ends up dying
So how long did it live for?
Couple weeks
are these harmfool?? for fish??
Not if washed
Hey i have a very good sand black sand substrate could I have it in my planted tank?
Yep.
Thanks
What about st. Augustine grass
Maybe
did you have to wash all the dirt off the roots
I did. Yes
too bad it only last 3 weeks. lol
lol. I know right
Soil needed?
Negative. It does after a couple weeks
Has anyone used wheatgrass? Growing from seeds?
I haven’t tried
Be careful if you use fertilizers.
True. Good point
What happened?
Did it survive?
Nope it died
Hey, Mike. I'm currently working on planting jungle val in my 20 gallon long tank. My gravel is standard (not meant for planting) but from what I've heard, jungle val is not picky. To help with the growth of all my other live plants, I've been wanting to add supplements to 'feed' them, like seachem flourish; according to research, this additive melts jungle val. What would you recommend? Nice job with your lawn grass in your tank by the way. It looks awesome.
I use root tabs. I sell them super inexpensive on my website. www.shopmyaquariumbox.com
How did you sterilize it? The usual way?
Just wash it
MASS Aquariums. it looks like my question is outdated. I just saw your other video.
What is the fish that comes in from the right at the 3:14 mark?
What color
Has a long face, spots behind the eyes and a dark stripe down it's side.
Geophagus Jurupari
Sir will it require special care and lightning for then. Can we use are garden soil for it or we have to use aquarium soil. Sir, please do tell.
It ended up dying. Not water hardy but they’re might be varieties that work
try rice next time...
+jean claude douaumont cool
It may work because they grow in rice paddies (of course, LOL) which is flooded and young plants stay submerged until they grow emerged.
I did that my water turned green and smelled of death btw there was no fish
Yeah it died soon
I have a feeling it won't like being submerged for very long and eventually melt back. We'll see tho, keep us posted.
Did it live ?
Nope. Died in a couple weeks
@@MASSAquariums is there any way to make them live ?
Not that I know of
Just put some wierd grass I found in a creek in my tank find out what will happen
Cool
wowwwww
🐟😂
Bro it dies after few weeks.....
Yep
i thought it would drown
Eventually dies
Nice video, cool idea! You got a sub from me. Good luck.
its not thriving its yellow. you shoukd start them in a glass in the window and cut away the old growth and keep the new
👍🏻
No. That's also not lawn grass.. looks to be at most a weedy sedge.
Kentucky Fescue
It doesn’t live long
Nope
Oh if it does work, put more grass like a lawn in ur aquarium. It will look like an aquascape
Lol. Sorry to say this was a long time ago and spoiler alert it does not work. It eventually died
Ha ha
👍🏻👍🏻
