every since i got the water hyacinth, i have been thinking about setting up a hydroponic/aquaponic like system. maybe getting more pond plants. i want to provide additional aid to my filter. is it possible? if so, what do i need to get to work?
is there any submerged pond that is non-potted plant that i can get?
there are no mention plants beside the floating plants. also, i was not aware of the water hyacinth that there were fish eggs. now i have new born fish fries, i do not know what kind of these fries are? can it be fries koi?
In post 28, I discussed three types of plants in levels of the water. Stem plants would include anacharis, cabomba, hornwort, ludwigia, moneywort, etc.
I have no idea what kind of fry you have.
i found a deal on eBay for anacharis, a seller is selling 100 stems for a total of $23.2. should i get it? and as for the fish fries, i will post a picture when there a more daylight. i do not know if i can take a picture of the fries as they might be too small and if i zoom too close i might make the picture fuzzy.
Are you saying 100 stems for $23.20? Or $2.32? The first would be a "yeah, but I can match that price just about anywhere on the net..." And here, you can do better than that. Even adding shipping.
You should be able to get anacharis locally. Petco sells it, but I buy mine from my LFS, which also has ponds outside. My LFS price would be comparable to that and as he drags the bunches to the surface, I can look at them and say, "No, not that one. I'd rather have that one."
I also suggest you read about setting up ponds. I've given other pond newbies links in other threads in this forum to do that.
