So you ventured into a planted tank. What has been the most frustrating in either getting it started or maintaining it? From plants being difficult, to figuring out proper methods, or even from your wet pets. I'm curious as to others aggravating experiences. For me its been my java moss not growing while everything else is and my african dwarf frogs. I absolutely adore my frogs but they've driven me crazy concerning my plants. The goofballs are not gentle. Anything that takes a couple days to take root, I am constantly replanting! I just propagated my hygro and I have put the new piece back in the soil more times than I can count. Its finally got a cpl tiny roots so hopefully soon it will latch in the soil and stay put. Same problem with my dwarf tears. I have a 3rd of what I started with actually rooted. Of the rest half has survived floating amongst my sprite. I had a nice sized floating piece of wisteria that they shredded and now just have a tiny piece left that I planted in a spot they don't really hang out. I also had two really nice full pieces of hornwort, which is now in many smaller pieces around the tank. If its fragile or needs to catch root in the substrate, they are hanging out on it, pushing off it, or swimming through it. I swear just to aggrivate me, lol! Everything is still alive, green, and trying to grow despite my rowdy frogs. What's been your annoyances?
