Gail, You can’t go wrong with floating Water Sprite. It’s easily grown, requires only medium light, has excellent surface coverage, has a decent root system which will absorb its needed nutrients directly from the water (helping to starve out any algae) and is not invasive to the point of being a nuisance, as […]
Dave,
All small animals have an instinctive fear of large animals. The ones who show no fear of large animals have simply learned that by experience. Any fish you have in your pond would have grown up around humans and thus that fear would have subsided. Nevertheless an […]
It’s like eating water - little nutrition just a filler. If lettuce must be feed use Romaine - aquatic plants are better Regards, Aquaticz

Hi, I’m new to the group and was hoping someone could give me some advice on what type of plants to buy. I have a 20 gallon high with goldfish. I already have a water wisteria which seems to be doing quite well. I’ve made a few cuttings for friends. However, about […]
As silly as it may sound I have found aqua bid to be an good place to ID plants. There are data bases on line but many times there are renderings. I find an actual photo to be better a better source for me. If you are not going to do […]
What I did was start with things like Anubias and Sword plants mostly. Then after I felt comfortable with them in my tank I branched out into the more colorful plants and such, but I also keep my plants in dirt with gravel on top. My walstad tank is obviously all dirt […]

They are full sized female guppy’s, I have had them for over 6 months myself and they were full grown at the LFS so I’m not sure how old they are honestly. It is possible that they could be getting ready to die of old age… None of the other fish are […]
