[@jeremysvideos9554]

Your video was a big help. did as you said as far as cutting and growing more and it worked perfectly. thank you

[@O-VERTT]

I really appreciate this video a lot! I was very precarious on planting these specimens, and the video really cleared everything up for me. I am definitely going to subscribe.

[@aquamate]

Awesome video, your killing it with the production, that is a cool. Plant, I'm about to do a few changes on my large planted tank.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks dude, means a lot!!! Let me know what you do with it and if there is anything I can do to help!

[@ScottMclaughlinJ]

New Subscriber- Your tanks look awesome and you know what you are talking about! I'm sold!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you!!! I'm glad you all joined the community!

[@madturtle8826]

Great video. Would this be a good plant to start with in a dirted tank and is it a fast growing plant?

[@gabesrunning8495]

Well done mate! Great video as usual!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate it.

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Hi there, Great channel, I was wondering if the pogostemon stellatus ‘octopus’ is the same as pogostemon quadrifolia? Great channel I love how you’ve done your corners in your fish room was it hard to do? I’d love to adopt the idea in my upcoming fishroom. Again great channel , be well mate Regards Duzzy 🇦🇺

[@chadcrotts870]

I like this plant a lot in my low tech tanks. In the high tech I had to trim it twice a week or it would take over the 40b. I loved the almost purple tint it would get under the leaves. Great job with the video!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks man! Yeah, when I first got the plant i didn't realize it would display such amazing colors!

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

All the Way you are reaching 1000 subs :D All the Best

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you for stopping by!

[@TMAquatics]

Never kept it when I was more into planted tanks. Gorgeous plant. 👍

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I will send you some of my next trimmings :)

[@FKJ_WORLD]

went to the river yesterday, got some plants , and is working on my first planted aquarium, Unsure as to the name of these plants. However they look great. Everyone has their taste in plants and yours are great

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

That is awesome man! Let me know how the wild plants do for You!

[@FKJ_WORLD]

@@OtterCreekAquatics will do

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

A good beginner plant requiring a lot of clipping to maintain healthy mother plants. Also a very good nitrate sponge.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Very true! It's hard to keep breeding tanks balanced. It does a good job keeping it close!

[@faisalkabir5830]

I have one .. it came with the shrimp packet , I though it's just grass but now it seems amazing

[@shesellsfish]

Sweet lil plant, not that fussy. 👍💕👍

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Yes it is amazing!!!

[@evansmoak7182]

I just found your channel. I subbed, but it looks like you haven't posted new content for 1 year. Hope you're ok and hope that you produce more content. It's crazy that I've been in the hobby for 10 years and haven't heard of this plant. I ordered a couple earlier today. This video was very helpful.

[@maryannmeyers4585]

HI do you know why the top of my plant new growth has a white color does it need more light ,root tabs or easy green, it had been looking great--vibrant green thanks

[@FIRYX-]

Good video my friend. Greetings from poland

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you for stopping by buddy!!!

[@anthonycoates1604]

Your tanks look awesome brother. Where do/did you get your plants? I do really like that octopus plant.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thank you, means a lot buddy! I got the original from aquarium co op. If you are looking to get some send me an email or an IG message!

Shared out on fishtubers notifications

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Thanks Buddy! I appreciate it

[@AquariumThoughts]

I started using this plant as well. It's a great growing plant and is doing excellent in my main tank. Excellent video. Do you have any experience growing this in sand substrate tanks?

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I have grown it well in sand mixed with pea gravel. If you have deep enough sand bed you should be just fine. The pea gravel helps it root in the substrate good

[@AquariumThoughts]

@@OtterCreekAquatics I'm just going to need to try it in a sanded tank when I rescape one of my tank

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Yea definitely man! I have no doubt it will do just fine

[@anissaferringer4965]

How does it do with goldfish? I have a couple of smaller fantails in a 55g and am looking for something to use as a background plant. Thanks!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I've never tried it with goldfish but the leaves are long and skinny, not very thick, so I'm sure they would eat on it. You could try a few crinum for background

[@jerrymarlow4069]

I keep this plant and love it I have it in every tank to include my 125 and it has reached the top I have propagated it many times and the 125 is now forested because of this one plant and my hatchets and gourami love this plant

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Yea man it is a super fast grower. I have to cut it non stop in my 55 gallon

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

I have never had this before...maybe I can give it a try. 🤔🤔Much love #fishfam

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Definitely have to try it!!! It's amazing

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

@@OtterCreekAquatics none on your getgills...I checked🤷‍♀️

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I will put more up soon! Someone bought it all lol

My fav plant as well!

Really? Super amazing plant

[@4gbudgetfishkeeping198]

I love this plant 🌱

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Yea it doesn't get much better than this one!!!

[@RobertoGarcia-ni8vl]

Do you have a list of allelopathy? Plants that grow together and not. Of course from your own experiences

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

In all honesty I have not experience any plants that do. I will start experimenting and keep in touch with you on this one!!!

[@RobertoGarcia-ni8vl]

@@OtterCreekAquatics thanks. I know that jungle Val fights with some swords and definitely hinders my banana plants. I had to move them to a different tank without Val. And the westeria I have doesn't seem to well with Val also. I did some research because I want to do the walstein ... Walsted . Whatever method. I only have five different species of plants right now so that's all I have found. Thanks bro for your vids. You've been a big help to a beginner planter. And love your Cory vids!

[@seymourfishtanks1201]

will be looking for some at the local fish auction

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Definitely! I got some on my getgills store if you cant find it locally

[@patrickyarber]

Hey man, love your videos and noticed you live close to me, I’m in Louisville, and was wondering if you sell any of your endler or guppy fry? If so I’d definitely be interested in getting some from you.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Really dude? that is awesome! I do sell them. Send me and email [e-mail] or find my Instagram and send me a DM

[@erxkeel]

Also flowers lil purple flowers when its VERY happy.

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

I haven't been that lucky yet. I think I'm going to throw some in a tub outside and see how much better it does.

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

No CO2 is it ok?

[@thirstyrabbittanks2u191]

G’day g’day Got to get me some of them

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Definitely check it out! If you come across any scoop them up!!!

[@PokeGummy]

I need to find this in my area!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Definitely give it a shot!!! I think you will love it

[@howlinhauler]

It's the same color as the other "easy" plants , hygrophila, sprite and wisteria unless you have high tech. Pogostemon kemberly is my fav pogo . pogostemon need high nitrogen or you get stunting ; )

[@vb2377]

Close to 1k!!

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

Not that close lol hopefully we get it soon! Tell your friends :)

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

if it's so easy to grow then why did mine die so easy cause I had some & in a tank with a BUNCH of guppies & plenty of light but yet it still DIED on me so what happen??

[@OtterCreekAquatics]

It all depends really. It's hard to tell without knowing the process that the plant went through, where you got it from, what substrate, were you using fertilizers, etc.

[@raisinggoldfishonabudget7058]

@@OtterCreekAquatics 3 YRS LATER , I just got me some more from LRB to see how it does, I'm letting it float in a basket in a 110 gallon stock tank that has 9 decent size goldfish that I've had for 2 yrs, I've been checking out what other people say on this plant & every 1 says something different, so it's do or die I don't have any co2, or high tech level tanks which is a 75 gal & 110 gallon stock tank, the only "high tech" on them is the filters & lights, & substrate which is black diamond blasting sand course size, I use co-op easy green pump fertilizer & osmosis root tabs.
