I have several stems of Hygrophila corymbosa. I'd love to trade for plants I can't get in my small rural town or for ram cichlids. $1/stem; 10x stem minimum. Small flat rate USPS box. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

21-24" plant; still pretty young. The pictures are a week old. It now has 6x 21+" leaves on it, and 2-4x 12" leaves. Is growing very quickly; very healthy plant. I'm only selling because it was sold to me as a Madagascar Lace bulb, which it is now clearly not. $15 + USPS flat rate...

All plants are sold! Thanks for you interest; all plants shipped last night and I am completely out ATM. I'll have more in a few weeks. Justin

I have way too many jungle vals! They are taking over, and my discus have petitioned me to remove most of them. $10 for a package of 10x 10"-18" plants with good roots. Plus shipping of $6.

You are right. I forgot & had to look it up.

Ohh wait! You have purple lights. Replace them first. Those are doing nothing for your plants, but your algae likes them just fine.

Yup; I bet you are growing algae like crazy. You have a lot of mouths to feed. I'd try to rehome a lot of them; but that's just me. --- assuming that's off the table --- You are generating a serious amount of nitrates of which you algae gets first dibs. Remember: nitrate should never...

No no! Don't feed your poor discus less! Algae comes from a misbalance of nutrients, too much or too few. What kind of light are you using? -- I need specifics; bulb type (t5ho,etc), age of bulbs, brand/model, color temp. You obviously have plants, how many/what type? What size tank...

I'm glad they found a good home! My discus were about to stage a revolt overthrow the Jungle Val government. When they are happy plants, some of there leaves will turn from green to reddish. When they are in this mode, they reproduce like mad plants. Growth will be right around 12" in a week...

I'd say my neons have had (and still have) a longer life expectancy with me and my 84F than they would have had at my LFS or most of the homes that would have been placed. To that end; I think many people have proven that domesticated fish will survive and often even thrive in pretty awful...

Sounds like you are doing a great job. Keep it up! It's not hard, just have to keep doing it. Fast water pumps from your aged barrel helps. So does a water alarm (usually for freezers). California Black worms, I get from here: http://www.aquaticfoods.com/worms.html Their prices include...

25C = 77F; so yes it is too low. They should be in 84F (29C)

I guess I mistyped. What I meant was he (the professional discus breeder) believed that too frequent of WC's removed the ammonia before the bio filter had a chance to 'eat' it, therefore starving the bacteria. So when the fish generate ammonia after their large meals, the bio-filter wasn't...

All plants are sold!!

I have one last package of about 15-20 plants which my wife agreed to ship on Monday; if anyone's interested. They were ready to go but didn't get sold, so they are planted back in the tank until Monday. Price will be $15 + $6 shipping.
