[@erikm8372]

If anyone’s curious, the scientific names of these plants are _Tradescantia zebrina_ 'Inch-Plant' or 'Wandering Jew' (

Great info! Thanks for taking the time to write this, very helpful!

[@jaegyugwak7729]

Thank you bro!!! Great video + expert!!

1:56 isn't this wandering dew?

[@S.Trades]

They aren't just "in the fish tank". They are also under strong lighting.

[@Logan-z9r]

Wonderful content, thank you for the information, I grow many plants as well as house fish and i wondered what i could grow symbiotically with the tanks.

[@Twinkley1981]

I only have 3 types of house plants in my tanks at the moment…PeaceLilly, Pothos and creeping Jenny. The creeping Jenny has taken over my outdoor tub which looks great. I absolutely adore those inch plant you have. I’m going to have to buy one. The breeding rack is looking great. Btw Did you try putting a microfibre cloth underneath the air-pump yet to help reduce the vibration noise?

[@thedirtytank]

Yes, I did add the cloth and I tightened the screws on the pump itself and now it's a LOT quieter! Thanks for the suggestion!

have you tried bamboo plant? Grows well in my 125 gallon

Hi from Singapore! Love this!

[@thedirtytank]

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed

[@marenjones6665]

I think the plant in the shrimp meadow tank, the one next to the pothos, is called a nerve plant or a toothache plant. Famously fast to wilt, but quick to recover. If they really can tolerate life with roots in water I'll have to give it a try!

I love the purple tradescantia

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

wow amazing.

[@CarolineMorin-s1v]

Bonjour! For all the beautiful plants you showed us, do you just put them in the aquarium? No pot, soil, moss or anything? So I could clamp some on the side of my thank and they will grow simply with the water from the aquarium? Thank you for your videos!

[@thedirtytank]

I have a few in a mound of dirt but most can just have their roots in the water and do just fine!

[@boniw698]

What’s important to me is your lighting. What kind of grow lights and or bulbs are you using.

[@thedirtytank]

I use the nicrew lights for most. On the tank in the thumb nail I am using a ring selfie light that broke off its tripod and I just secured it to wood. The silver heat lamp looking light is just a standard house light. And the light on the small shrimp jar is a top fin led light

What are the floating plants in the breeding tank? I love your tanks. Thank you.

Thanks! Dwarf Water Lettuce mainly

dwarf hair grass... is there any c02 sir?

[@matthiasmaiwald8236]

Hello -- I am interested to try growing basil with the roots in my hang filter, or roots in the tank. Any experience with basil?

[@namankashyap5380]

Great tanks buddy....!

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

Ive got a bunch of rex begonia that do well in just water. Im looking to add them to a live tank with one betta in it. Just wanted to make sure its safe for my fish.

[@rbihon]

can you put strelitzia?

[@thedirtytank]

I had to Google it, those are beautiful! I am not sure to be honest. Most tropical plants with high humidity requirements often do well growing out of a tank but I've never heard of someone trying it with this plant. If you do it, let us know how it turns out!

[@kfalianny8714]

The first plant..the purple one is tradencia zebrina

[@Nic-kx5dn]

I have monstera,..andpeacelilly❤

[@synth4090]

They are Syngoniums! :)

[@henrylo6773]

I have 3 different types of caladiums growing on my tank

[@thedirtytank]

Just Googled those. Some of them have really nice colors!

[@henrylo6773]

@@thedirtytank try go to your backyard and do any cutting. Ud be shocked that even the plants they say won't grow in aquaponics can grow in aquaponics. Nothing fazes me anymore.

[@Jessejam0732]

How many gallons is the tank in the thumbnail?

[@thedirtytank]

It's a 20 gallon long

[@duckets8340]

Pothos can also grow under water

The "mini Monstera" isn't a Monstera ay all. It's an epipremnum..

[@hedgewitch59]

No it isn't. It's a rhaphidophora tetrasperma.
