:icon_frowSo I got a new camera and havent figured out how to use it properly yet so heres a peek at a project that i've been tossing together for about 3-4 weeks to test a photo......
My colorata is never that color but grows the same, it doesn't get any roots until it reaches the surface and starts to lay flat on the water then roots pop from every node and a new plant starts just above. This seems like a great way to propagate, now it just has to break off and float down stream.
all your tanks look nice Chad, my regular nurii also hates Excel and is the first to show and signs of stress, which is too bad because my tank is full of algae and could use some Excel.
Hmmm..Tim, if you gave it a grand effort, you could probably spot treat it with a syringe. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it works great! Hows your moss doing for you? Did you ever get a positive ID(rhetorical question)..Yeah, neither did I
I did do a spot treatment right before my water change and it did help, I only used 20 ml at best to float some Excel over my fissidens for 2 or 3 minutes but I think it's all going to die as I didn't know fissidens doesn't like Excel, then while the water was low I did the driftwood and that worked well.
I still get the opposite result but it's mostly just photos and the text might be Russian, so it could say don't mistake this for Mini Rose for all I know, but there are no good articles on these to date.
She is actually useful for alot of things. She likes to help change water, she is the pilot of the magnet glass cleaner, shes an extra set of hands, and is helpful for clean up. Its cute to hear her try to say the scientific names of the plants too

Yes, any good moss doesnt like Excel. Only the crappy ones you dont want will live The spot treating with a regular dose with the pumps off works good! The moss ID thing is as confusing as a miss ID'd crypt.
Cool, good to hear. I put this one up emergent to kill off some of the clado that was on them when I got them. I wish it would stop blooming and start growing
LoL. I never mist my emersed plants. I always forget. It's kind of like "I should mist this... oh man the squirt bottle is all the way over there I'll just do it later"
She does a better job than me. Shes on it everyday. I gives her a way to be involved/responsibility. I however, am much like you. "Meh, ill get it tomorrow. They look fine."
Lol the worst is when you get around too doing it, and then it's "Are you serious... the bottle is empty... I'll refill it later they got a little squirt they are fine."
Your flower looks great, and is that moss growing above the water line on it's own? It's cool that your daughter is into planted tanks, I think all kids love nature and the thought of preserving their own little piece in trying to understand it, plus you'll be able to help her setup those ADA tanks you buy her for her birthday, Christmas, graduating the 6th grade etc.
Yes, the moss grows on that filter and gets picked off about every 3-4 months. Haha, on the ADA tanks! "Look honey! Daddy got you a new 60-P for your birthday "
No, since she is your professional mister you need too get her some new rare Bucephalandra and Crypts and be say "Look at these pretty plants that I got for you too mist!!!! The crypts are melting but in a month or two you should have a pretty leaf too mist!!!! "
Im just keeping it clean. I picked some hair algae out of it. Ill store it in a jar until I see if the driftwood itself is infected. Then ill put it back on and grow it out again.
I laid two emergent stems along the back of this tank in the wood. Some of it grew up and out and some grew across the top of the water. The filter current is pushing this one down.
Works for me. Imagine the possibilities if you could have a drooping stem plant for aquascaping. Leafs and everything drooping (not everything perked upwards). You could make some true rainforest scapes and stuff. Now you got my brain pondering the possibilities.
Thanks for this info. Now I want to try creeping it I guess im still looking for some ovalis then.
