[AquaticLife] Pond plants for use in a fish tank, questions.

I have never seen water hyacinth here, so perhaps no one has tried growing it. I have seen it down south when I was traveling though. I liked the purple flowers LOL. My 125 gallon tank has the highest hood, it is wooden and suspended above the tank. The original design […]

[AquaticLife] Pond plants for use in a fish tank, questions.

Wow.. I’m surprised there’s only nine States that they won’t ship to. Most places consider it a VERY non-native invasive species. Of course, they may not ship up there to you or to HI regardless. Aren’t there any places up there where Water Hyacinth grows wild? Maybe it won’t survive your […]

Shannon,
Husband is a military man, is he? That usually means periodic transfers, doesn’t it? In that case, your idea of container water gardens would be a good one. They would be easy to pick up and move with you, rather than leaving the pond behind. The clay is no fun to dig.

Many people do mix them but if you want to keep the purity/beauty of your Koi, especially Butterfly Koi, and hopefully have spawns from them in the future so you can continue the FreeCycle cycle, then it would be best to keep them separate. That, and the fact that you may need all the […]
