water wisteria?

[fishdud]

are they considered floating plants? cause the one i have floating is doing better than the one i have planted. the one i have planted, its stem is like getting soggy and ripping off.

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

Idk if they are a floating plant but I came to the same conclusion, mine are better off floating too.

 

[fishdud]

should i let them float then?

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

I don't see any problem with it, I let mine float along with my anachrias(spelling?).

 

[fishdud]

okay will do, even the tiniest little piece is doing better than the planted one -.- okay now i have a problem with my gravel, theres like fuzzy stuff on it, like some kind of green fuzzy algae and its all over my gravel and its hard to get off, any help?

They are closer to the light when they're floating... They're fine however you want them.

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

What do you mean hard to get off? What methods have tried?

 

[fishdud]

its like stuck on the gravel, ive tried moving the gravel a bit with the vacuum thingy to get it off but theres just to much and hard to get rid of.

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

Never heard of that.. water are the inhabitants of your tank?

 

[fishdud]

im doing a water change right now but ive had this problem for like a month already.

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

Sorry, I meant what, not water

 

[fishdud]

i'll have to see in a minute but my water parameters have been fine but kinda going through an algae bloom due to a new lighting fixture but i'll post a pic in a minute to show you what i mean

 

[fishdud]

Kind of a bad pic but its the green fuzzy stuff

Buy a couple of snails

 

[fishdud]

i would but i dont want them to ruin my plants

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

I have snails and they don't ruin mine

 

[fishdud]

what kind do you have? and ive heard snails clean good but also leave holes in plants

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

The ones I have were sold as Gold Inca Snails, but there just mystery snails. And they don't eat my plants, they do graze on the leaves but there just eating the algae off.

If you don't like the idea of snails, you can get some shrimp.

 

[fishdud]

what kind of shrimp? i'll see if petsmart has any

 

[Esoteric Backbone]

Algae-Eating shrimp (caridina japonica)
