I love your fish tank! Tiger Barbs are my favorite together with fancy goldfish! I didn't know you could keep the plant cotton around the roots. I always took it off but it makes sense to keep it on when planting! I'm going to try to do what you did with your Crypt! Also, going to get me a Blue Acara fish!

@@CatharinaShields thanks for sharing! Really appreciate it!

Beautiful plant...even growing a little sideways 😊 I chuck so many plants into tanks the same way 🤣 I love the Electric Blue Acara...I have 2 breeding pairs. Giant sweeties unless protecting their eggs/fry.

[@TropicalFishGuy]

They are one of my favorite fish! Thanks for sharing!

[@Dgarays]

That’s what I want to do. I wanna put them in pots not all over the place. Thanks for the idea

[@TropicalFishGuy]

Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

I like the way you plant your plants keep it up i give your KZbin videos a five star

[@chriscoralAloha]

Great tank. I also have a holy rock in mine.

Hi, Fish Guy--I am new to your channel, and I really enjoyed your video on the Amazon Sword plant, and why it can seem to die off initially. You are a very good educator, with a nice, relaxed teaching style. I am a rank beginner, so I really need you!

[@TropicalFishGuy]

Thanks so much for the really nice message! I’m glad I can be helpful.

Can I keep the plants with the pots it comes in, under gravel?

[@carolinekelly4726]

Nice tank. Do you have any substrate under your gravel? Your vallis is really healthy.

[@TropicalFishGuy]

Hi Caroline! No I just use gravel and let the fish poo do it’s thing.

[@Almi047290]

Nice video. May I ask if that potted plant that you just buried in the sand. I was told by a pet shop owner that the sand and the aquarium soil should not be mixed. In your video obviously that is not the case. Appreciate your reply

[@jimameen]

Hi Fish Guy, can I just put plant in my tank without taking off the pot?

[@TropicalFishGuy]

Yes you can! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@TropicalFishGuy I always have chances of my plants surving least 2 or 3 weeks without using root tabs. I will surely try this
