so i just got my 55 gal set up, cycled and put the fish in and i want to put some plants in it. i would like a BIG grassy plain, amano style look. i want to do this as ground cover: AquaticMagic Im already buying like 30dollars worth of plants from here so i would like to order from here and have it in the shippment. my question is, will my JD, placo, or pictus bother this plant? i am also gonna have some sort of anubias on some rocks every so often. thanks!
Well JDs will usually uproot plants. I don't have experience with JDs or plecos with plants but they are fish that get fairly big and can therefore get fairly messy. I would personally re-think the ground cover myself: you might end up wasting $$?
Uhm not only would the JD possibly uproot plants - But what you've posted there is a moss, so you'd need to tie it down somehow in a way, shape, form to not only have it form a carpet and not drift upwards but also somehow JD safe.... Had you considered Hairgrass? It will grow to about +/-1" but it roots down fairly quick (compared to other plants used for carpets) and possibly would withstand the JD better then moss?
i meant i have had bad experience with aquariumplants.com the last time i bought there 90% of the plants were dead, i managed to salvage 2 contortion vals and a petite nana out of 5 plants i ordered (contortion vals come in groups of like 10).
I didn't wanna say nothing at first...but I did find your new order pricey as well (thou I donno this place quality)
I have order here 2x Sweet Aquatics and I love the quality and the pricing there (and so far always got free shipping too) and all plants I got there so far are doing great.
You find a Red Tiger Lotus rare? I had never any problems finding it so far, guess I just got lucky.
