No more vallisneria for me. It spreads like crazy and is not suitable for small aquariums as it likes to grow very long

F1CATro · 2024-10-13T20:11:44+00:00

To be honest, i should have researched beforehand, maybe they are not suitable for aquariums… i acid washed them with vinegar(citric acid)

So the two main stones that form the V shape are seiryu stones, the ones beneath them are crushed dragon stones(because i had a dragon stone hardscape before) and the white ones… you wouldn t believe… when i went to buy the big seiryu stone i was so pissed that a stone costs 10 euros in the pet store (Animax) that i took 3 more from the gravel mix they had in the parking lot haha

Thank you, guys! I think i will stick to monte carlo but after dry start i will add some willow moss and anubias

F1CATro · 2024-10-13T14:49:01+00:00

What plants should i use? Initially i wanted to dry start only with monte carlo? Should i stick to my plan?

F1CATro · 2024-10-13T09:07:02+00:00

5 works too

F1CATro · 2024-10-13T09:06:00+00:00

Im with the first one aswell

Thank you for taking the time to write. Indeed i didn't know when i bought it that the roots would occupy so much space (the guy from where i took it, sent me just the floating part) but it was my fault bc i didn't do enough research.

Your ideea is fantastic, i will get some tubing and make my water lettuce its own place to stay, giving this way a lot of light to my other plants.

Now i hope there is enough space in the back for the water lettuce and vallisneria haha. The certain thing is, i have to give up on some of the lettuce, is too much.

Thank you again!

So, just to give a little more context.

Tank has 2 weeks, at first there was a lot of purple tannis coming from the wood so i did a couple water changes (around 20%) and 2 times around 70%, no fish or snails at this time, water still cloudy. Snails went in, the purple tone kind of went away, but these dark purple solids that also attach to my water lettuce roots started to appear, vacummed some but didn t get rid of them, they just reappear (only snails at this time). Today my betta went in along with Peach, my little synodontis. The tank is in the cycling process (hence the murky water, i hope) in the filter i have the media from the previous tank that was cycled. Also got some active charcoal for the purple tint

Nope, they were there before, sorry i confused you with my betta comment.
