I don't know, they sold it to me as "Bunch Plant" could you identify it?

Cydric · 01-29-2007, 04:25 AM

Not sure what that plant is, almost looks like a lilac bush.

Or some kind of weird, out of control anubias.

Sorry, can't help ya, i like it though - whatever it is.

Maintenance Equipment UPDATE:I received my sponge filter and air pump by mail today!! I am so happy! I have already added it to the tank. It is a bit large and the tube where the water comes out off is half out of the water so it make a bit of a current on the top. To reduce the current I twisted the output of water towards the glass and it helped a bit. But it is running great overall and the water is already clear! It is for up to 15 gallon tanks and mine is only 5.5 gallons so the water is really clean

Feeder Guppy UPDATE:The guppies are all eating from the filter sponge! They look like they are really enjoying it, so looks like I am going to have success when I add the shrimp

Plant UPDATE:Today I also received my plants by mail from other members on here

I received some Java Moss and Java Fern Plantlets from one member. I wrapped the Java Moss onto a rock with a rubber band and I just have the plantlets floating around in the tank lol Not sure what to do with them yet. And from Danny Li, what exactly did you send me? It looks like a sip-lock back with some dirt in it. Are they seeds or something? I will add pictures in a bit as the camera's batteries are recharging at the moment

I want to give a big thanks to the members who sent me the plants!!

Storm_Rider · 01-29-2007, 07:52 PM

they will rot away if you don't seperate them, that is my experience with them at least. if they aren't lookin so great right now, float them for a while and replant them

RES love anacharis and water sprite (water sprite more though). if mine ever grow back fast enough i'll send you some, for food and for scape.

If they start to get brown I guess I will remove them

And so I've heard that RES really like Anarchis

Thank you very much! But you don't have to send me any

That is true

I want to ask a question though.
How long do you guys think I should have the tank set up before buying the shrimp?

And I am going to try to get the pics up tonight
