@@Fishtory Jake Broe is definitely not part of the Fish Fam. but maybe there’s some interesting fish in Ukraine 🇺🇦 that will be worth mentioning in your channel. I don’t know 🤷‍♂️. On Jake Broe’s channel I always say “Glory to the heroes of Ukraine 🇺🇦 & all who assist”. I do not watch Father fishing any more because like you I do not have enough time. I’d like to go on the shoal but just not enough time & now that I know the things he stands for I am vehemently opposed to his personal beliefs. Changing gears. Joe Blogs is another guy I really like to follow but again not in the Fish Fam. & I also follow a few channels with astrophysics & geology. When you said in one of your videos how much time you spend returning comments I was really impressed with your medical issues that you could go through so many comments & respond to any of them at all much less as many as you do so I am deeply honoured & appreciative of your priceless time to so kindly donate to better the lives of other people & their critters. I promise so as soon as I learn how to use the computer better I’ll figure out how to do the $2 a month thing. this would be my one and only monthly subscription to anything on the Internet because unfortunately the most I can afford to do for Ukraine is simply say what I say to Jake bro channel and this other guy called Artur’s Army. Problem with so many channels available is you simply have to pick one if that’s all the budget can afford so I’m glad you’re able to just keep it at $2 a month for as long as you too will let you. I know you will get too busy & will not have time to read such long texts & I’m really surprised you’re able to make it happen now so I’ll try my best to start their membership thing.

No wonder Susswassertang spreads like a weed. I got it accidentally and now I need to control it, otherwise every tank has it all over the bottom and hardscape. However I agree, it can look great, esp. when it anchors to wood or rocks. SAE ate all my Java Moss, so Susswassertang kinda replaced moss in that tank (there's also Anubias, Bucephalandra, Boulbitis and 3 types of Java fern). So I keep half the list in my aquarium: I have 10 (V. giant and V. mini), 7 Ludwigia repens, palustris, few related species to 6 (mostly Crypt. xWillisi), 2 (Taxiphylum), 1 Susswassertang. 8. Lotus lily is rarely on stock, similar with other species, 4 pennywart - maybe I will try it, now I keep related Hydrocotyle Japan which is related, but it's hanging by a thread, 5 Probably Egeria Najans, which I never kept. Related Egeria Densa never lasts in my tanks for some reason. Bummer, I heard breweries used to keep Egeria Najans aka "Canadian water plague" in their water-supply ponds to soften and clear the water. I didn't even try 9, 3, but seeing them on the video makes me want to add them to my tanks. :-)

I was just given another aquarium, and I'm thinking about how I'm going to set it up. I love these top 10 plants lists. I always see something I'd like to try.

[@tauncfester3022]

I love it "....Guppy grass, it's so easy it's a little scary.." 😆 I do have to add though water pH isn't always a co-current function of hardness, it is in most cases, but, there are exceptions. Especially if your bedrock is a non alkaline earth metal like Gypsum or other Sulfate bonded Calcium and Magnesium compounds, you can have relatively slightly acidic waters that have a general hardness (GH) up into the 6 to 10 range. These are what most people are shooting for with Crystal Bee Caridinia shrimp tank water, because of their weird native water conditions. Plants also do better with some Ca and Mg in Sulfate form, a General Hardness of 4 to 7 is fine for most aquatic plants.

We need a full on in depth video on the different types of val and how they differ from one another, when to use each one, and how to best take care of each one. Trying to find info online about that is like trying to pull teeth with chopsticks.

[@giftofthewild6665]

I had a beautiful val species that got bronze to red tips under high light. I can't remember what it was now and I really want it again. I've had the best results with vals in harder, more alkaline water. It melted in my low pH tanks. They also require moderate to high lighting but they don't need ferts in water column or CO2 as long as you have a rich substrate (eg soil or aquasoil or similar). In the wild they grow in pretty much full sun in rivers etc, they root strongly and like a bit of current. Also unlike most aquarium plants these are actually true aquatic plants that grow submerged in the wild (most aquarium plants are marginal plants that can tolerate being submerged, vals only grow underwater). I read that they can use carbonates from the water in place of CO2 but I don't know if that's true or not. I've grown them both with and without Co2 and not noticed much of a difference in growth so I'm inclined to believe it.

Hi thanks. I managed to get myself ludwigia repens to add a bit of colour. Quick question for you. I use a all in one liquid fertiliser which is good. I have a lot of stem plants. To get rid of my hair algae i reduced my light time abit and stopped using liquid fertiliser. I added some root tabs just to help the planted in sand plants. My Hair Algae stopped frowing back when i removed it. Do i need to strat using my All in one Liquid vertiliser again. Will my plants suffer.

I wonder what the pH of the springs down in Florida run. I visit them often and have seen what I believe is something very close to jungle Val, growing very lush at the edges of some of the springs. Easily 6-8 feet long. That water pushes up through limestone caverns. I can't imagine the pH is below 7.5. I really want to collect some. I'm totally going to nerd out with my test kit next time I visit.

[@Calebsfish23]

Any reason vallisneria grow’s low to the ground ? Mine spreading but some have been growing for weeks but not tall but leafs are long. I adjusted my light after reading 2hr aquarist site on lighting a few days ago hoping that helps built my hygger light around red and blue light and only 20% white and neutral green light on average 20% less than blue and red.

[@Fishtory]

So it could be the dwarf form perhaps... or nutrients (root tabs will show you it's true potential. ) then light works in a bell curve ... low light causes the plant to stretch to reach light, but it won't spread... medium light will make it tall , too much light and it grows deeper in color, denser and wider.

[@Calebsfish23]

@@Fishtory its definitely not dwarf i believe it gigantea version. It has really wide blade of grass the mother plants where very tall and there like 5 of there sprouts. But they staying low with very healthy blades. The mother plants I believe are melting away and will regrow as i have only had them a couple months. My Amazon sword is doing amazing same with duckweed. I have nearly cleared out all the duckweed. I have used pond advertised fertilizer. Its crystal clear thrive in Amazon has like 10% nitrogen and bunch of other stuff. It is ammonium based but haven’t seen any ill effects. I do keep limestone in the tank to ensure there plenty of minerals. I have deep substrate similar to father fish but my own style. Also using hygger 999 lighting for 75 gallon tank. My newest setup since the paper i read is now 20% white 100% red 100% blue 80% green for 8 hours a day while the other 4 hours is slowly brought up from 50% and white is consistent the whole day.

[@SininStyle]

If these plants feed from the water column and use roots as anchors, is there any reason to not think all underwater plants are like this? Would it be better to just go full sand and pebble for anchoring and feed through the water? Has to be studies on this. I know dirt/aquasoil tanks do well, but could it just be due to leeching from the soil into the water column?

[@evergreenpsyche]

Most plants will do both, but many plants are objectively known to be primarily root feeders that will not absorb much nutrient content out of the water column. Alex mentions this in a few videos but you can do your own experiments if not convinced....one that comes to mind is any Cryptocorine, might survive plain sand but needs a rich soil to thrive

[@Fishtory]

So almost all aquatic plants do feed from the water collumn but anywhere from 4 to 200x slower and less efficiently than the roots. This is precisely why hydroponics works...just using extremely rich nutrients in circulated water on roots of terrestrial plants

[@Fishtory]

Most crypts definitely need stability...they die if moved and or melt. There are a handful of tough ones that propagate via fractional tissue transfer....(daughter plants breaking off and not seeds or flowering). Those are the water column feeders including the 3 i mentioned in this video, however most others need nutrients... crypt nurii, balansea, spiralis, and wendeti all come to mind as wanting to stay put in substrates
