I Planted 100,000 Seeds In A Fish Tank

I made a Bonsai Tree Fish Tank and Planted over 100,000 seeds to carpet the entire tank! I added a small school of Chili Rasbora to complete the miniature look. The tree was made from marimo moss and is a great low maintenance tank! If you enjoyed this video, please subscribe for more!

Vast majority of aquarium plant seeds are non aquatic, or don’t grow to be what you expect. Show us what happened months after you planted these seeds, wether they died off, grew too big, or anything like that.

[@somthewildmanab]

True

[@LoveBee999]

there are other vides with same info but no one show what happend to them after few weeks

[@psecdocumentary]

I enjoy experimenting with aquaponics and I can tell you that aquaponics is completely unpredictable. You're right, the outcome is never going to be what you might expect. Whether or not this is good or bad is a matter of perspective. I've had some very nice surprises and some disappointments. Ultimately, nature is going to do exactly whatever it feels like doing in any given moment, regardless of what you try to do. You can have the water, the lighting and everything absolutely perfect, and not get good results. You can also get much better results than you technically should have gotten or ever thought you could possibly get. Nature does what it wants. It is untameable. We can nudge it, guide it and give it prods and suggestions and so on, but ultimately -- its going to do exactly what it wants to do, which may or may not be what you want.

[@nemofknfish]

Agree, and hopefully the fish survived. You should let the tank run for a few weeks before adding fish.

[@KateInTheCity]

@@nemofknfish Maybe it was a cycled filter.

[@briangiannattasio61]

Bought same seeds off Amazon Used the short grass (5cm) in the back with the same small leaf upfront Looked Amazing for 4-5 weeks Then the grass just straight up uprooted itself and died The small short leaf up front kept growing up Got to half way up tank and lost it’s beautiful green and went yellow . It didn’t die but the leaves became long as it changed getting nutrients from it roots to leaves These seeds are a scam . Or only good for a display tank you change it often after a week There are no short cuts to a long term nice looking planted tank

[@KO_LE]

Yeah this happened to me too, they also grew mold and I had to wait even longer to cycle it, I just now was able to remove about 95% of the plants and they have been causing issues for months.

How about fake grass like Astro turf?

[@drew-shourd]

Did you use Co2? Also, I have seen so many videos on YT where people put WAY too many seeds, then they just choke each other out, fighting for light, nutrients etc. As a grower of microgreens, I know this all too well. So, many people say these seeds are a scam, because the seeds didn't work for them cause they didn't know what they were doing. #usererror

[@TheCuggsmeister]

I'd love to know what this tank looked like a few months later. While these seeds will sprout and initially grow, I've heard they are not truly aquatic plants and because of this they'll soon die and cause an ammonia spike.

[@90FirstGenPGT]

@@andrewschmidt8740 kind of what I was thinking. I had similar seeds/plants. They lasted maybe 6 months

[@jasonpatterson8091]

It likely was torn down the same day it was set up. The only part of this that was built with time considerations in mind was growing the sprouts in the first place. The fish were put in there the day the tank had water. Even if they were actually HC seeds, switching from effectively dry soil growth to immersed growth that early probably killed most of it - even when the roots are immersed there's a shock in switching to fully immersed growth, and these were just planted in moist open grain substrate.

[@bryanboone7363]

It should, if you take care of it. It might not look 100% clear like it was on day 1, but my brother has a fish tank for at least 20 years now. If you keep the filters clean, change out the plants, and keep some Plecostomus fish in there, and keep chemicals in it to keep the nitrates and ph balance, it should be pretty clear. Saltwater tanks should be crystal clear if you keep them right. Although they are much more expensive, and a lot harder to upkeep.

[@charleseskildsen3317]

@@bryanboone7363 actually saltwater tanks are much easier to maintain then freshwater tanks. Once they are set up correctly and established they are very easy to keep. The bad thing about salt is that when a fish dies you have to have a funeral because the dang fish cost so much money.
