My new Wabi-Kusa ball that I created. Definitely try this out if you haven't already. 🌱 Simply form a small ball with wet aquarium soil, take some aquarium moss and cover the whole ball with it. Then wrap a thread around it to fix the moss. You can use all kinds of aquatic plants. I have simply taken plant cuttings from another Wabi-Kusa. You can plant them with tweezers into the ball. Place the finished ball in a container or a small bowl with some water and spray it regularly, so that the upper leaves do not dry out and the plants can slowly get used to growth over water. @aquabase_ #terrarium #wabikusa #nanotank #plants #indoorgarden #mossgarden #aquascaping #plantedtank #moss #vivarium #mosslife #plants #rotala #hygrophila #terrariums #plantedaquarium #indoorplants #urbangarden #emersedplants #mossterrarium #aquaticplants #nature #aquaterrarium #botanical (hier: Stuttgart, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZ_ZQoITlZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My apologies for the relative lack of share-worthy art lately. Hopefully you will appreciate some living art?

This fabulous large man has been with me for all of 4 days and I love him to death. Please don’t break my heart big guy!

He’s a giant plakat betta with koi/marble/multicolored genetics of some sort. I know these are a huge risk for many reasons, but I found him in my neighborhood, and it turns out I’m a fool after all. I’m looking forward to all the color changing shenanigans. In the meantime, he watches me cook and do dishes.

Please excuse the state of this tank. It’s been through some hard times.

#betta #planted aquarium saga #planted tank #fishkeeping #giant betta #plakat #he will be named sooner or later #now I just call him Big Man #potential names include Magnus and Mad Fish Willie #I wonder if he will keep growing #very feisty but also loves loafing in the rotala to sleep #I gotta do right by him #I’ve had some big losses in the last year or so #lost Penny Puffer at 4+ years old and Gorlomi pearl gourami at 7+ years #it’s been the end of eras around here for fish they’re all getting pretty old #my luck with koi bettas is poor and I know it’s gonna be a tumor but I will adore his company while he’s here #I’m weak what can I say? no other excuse #video #20 gallon long

sharing more hibiki commissions again because i absolutely adore this piece and because every single one of the flowers in the aquarium is a reference to each of the 2006 jujutsu students.

Fish tank update🐟💕

I've just planted a few bits of Dwarf Hairgrass and I am so excited to see it grow into a nice carpet! I was planting it so wrong before so I'm glad it's finally sticking!

My Anubis Barteri plant (on the log) has a tiny teeny new leaf growing but I'm not sure you can see it in the photo🥲

On the right hand side is my Rotala Rotundifolia which has grown A LOT since the day I planted it.

And lastly at the back behind my log cave is my Hygrophila Siamensis which is also growing a bit💕

I'm considering fertilizer and CO2 capsules but these plants don't specifically need it. They are doing so well! Growing underwater plants is so rewarding and fun I can't wait to add fish!

I got them all from Pets at Home (pet shop) and they are from a brand called Tropica?

ended up getting some more plants for my aquarium... hehe :3 and i celebrated obon today at a local festival!

#ephraim.txt #my betta bulb got a weird white film over it and reddit said this was likely it dying... so i took that L and got some different plants to- #-replace it :) a dwarf sagittaria and some rotala!

[is-the-fish-tank-big-enough]

So, I bought some cool looking plants for my 10 gallon, because they looked really cool! I couldn't read the label, since it was written on the glass and had been smudged. I find out later its Rotala macrandra mini. I don't have co2 and I don't know if I can give it high lighting. Should I take it out before it dies on me??

Hmm interesting question. I've never messed with plants that are demanding and am usually the type to just throw things in to see how it does. The only time I've had to take a plant out was when I had a moss ball die on me and cause a mini cycle crash 🤔

I would probably leave at least a little in to see how it does. If it survives and grows, it'll probably just revert back to green coloration which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

i found this out bc i pulled almost everything out of the tank to try and finally eradicate the algae bc its almost exclusively living on the rotala so i pulled it and the hardscape out and rearranged everything

#txt #i threw out all but like 4 clean stems of the rotala and im just letting it free float bc it didnt have algae before i planted it....

Please look at my son he is such a goofy little guy <3

#beastiebites #bettablr #betta fish #his name is anakin i adopted him from a friend cause he was getting bullied by her african dwarf frogs #he is an absolute sweetheart who enjoys sleeping on his mattress of rotala and watching me do stuff in my room akfhskfh

La Ammania sp. bonsai es también conocida como Rotala Indica, no deberemos confundir esta planta con la Rotala Rotundifolia. Durante muchos años se comercializo la Rotala Rotundifolia erróneamente como Rotala Indica, de ahí que se las confunda con el nombre. Podremos encontrar esta planta moayoritariamente en zonas de Asia como China, Japón y el sudeste asiatico. Pertenece a la familia de…

Some very honest State of the Tanks photos. They always look better in person, can’t photograph them to save my life, but the colors are popping. (No color adjustments on these!)

The 40 gallon is growing quickly despite nasty algae that conveniently doesn’t show up that well in photos? Mostly black beard algae/cladophora and green spot, so my fertilizer dosing/CO2 injection needs to be fine tuned. Despite this, the brand new rotala “H’ra” (5th photo) is getting pink/orange/red. I love it! The bucephelandra are also growing despite the algae, they may need a little repositioning to help with that. A good trim of the nearby rotalas will also help the alternanthera reineckii get beefier, but it is holding its own now that it’s got plenty of root tabs. (6th photo)

Maximus’ tank is chugging along slowly but steadily. The bolbitis and bucephelandra keep floating away. That is extremely annoying. Root, damn you! But the hygrophila difformis is back after nearly rotting into oblivion.

I need a more aggressive trim routine…

THE DEED HAS BEEN DONE AND THE SHRIMP HAVE BEEN MOVED

The old SHRIMP CUBE, for posterity:

There’s a buce-covered little mopani wood log in there that isn’t very visible because of the sheer amount of salvinia on the surface, which I’ve moved to the main 20 gallon because I LOVE mopani wood and I also love how the buce rooted into it. I also moved the crypt in - it’s fun to see how different it is from the other two crypts that I bought from the same tissue culture, just from growing in a different tank. The ambulia is getting tossed, unfortunately. I love how dense and fluffy it is in low tech tanks, but high light and CO2 make it super leggy in the community tank and I hate it.

I want it on record that I started with ONE of these fuckers. I like the look and stick-together-ness of it a lot more than duckweed. I just got the first volume of Stars of Chaos in the mail and the intro page had a very poignant note on it that was completely lost on me because it specifically referred to duckweed and I’m traumatized from painstakingly picking tiny bits of it out of every plant my classmate has ever given me. I REFUSE TO SUCCUMB TO THE INFECTION.

Anyway, the move went well apart from me finding one tiny little baby shrimp and the tetras trying to eat it (probably the loaches will get him, RIP and apologies little buddy, it’s very unlikely that a shrimp colony will manage to reproduce in this tank even if the adults are going to be left alone), and it kinda strikes me how full and vibrant my community tank looks now. I have a couple of more changes I want to make (rip out the rest of the rotala macranada, let the ludwigia super red grow in instead, and refill the sand bank) but aside from that it just... looks really amazing now, especially compared to how much it’s grown from its starting point.

Here’s day 1:

And here it is today:

:D

Week 3

So after a bit of research and with some help from the lovely people at the local fish shop, my lil underwater garden is looking luscious and healthy!

I’ve chosen plants which are nitrate hungry. The LFS guy said that plants that are bought off online stores sometimes arrive so beat up that they usually can’t muster the energy to root. It might have been a pitch to sell me some plants but I found that he was right. All the plants I bought managed to take root within the week and are looking bushy and happy.

The Monte Carlo is now completely cleaned out and the Rotala also got trashed too. Instead we have water weed, water wisteria and hornwort as the background plants (all nitrate hungry fast growers) and we have Anubias on the rocks and Java fern by the filter. As the Hornwart grows, I chop the new shoots up into little bouquets held by lead weights. They function as new plants so I can keep filling in the background.

The best news of all; the tank is cycled! I’ll give it a week to see if it’s stable and then we can get some wet pets in there!!
