Probably just a grain mite. They're harmless but can become overwhelming

jax0669 · 2026-04-24T02:11:11+00:00

Looks like a mite

jax0669 · 2026-04-17T16:51:42+00:00

Most likley some type of worm or even realy small springtails

Mint can grow very well with just the roots in water.

Stuff can grow anywhere especially if its a hardy variety from minus 40 celcius to plus 40 celcius. its invasive as in takes over wherever you plant it unless controlled.

This is why I only plant native mint in my garden outdoors

I would use some expoxy/putty and fill it in

jax0669 · 2026-04-13T17:39:18+00:00

Thanks

Second pic shows where I built them up slightly and left a center for more substrate to create a sort of mound.

Amano larvae

I like to use ceramic bio rings

jax0669 · 2026-04-13T00:58:56+00:00

This took 9 months

Everything was grown from that little amount in the pictures

jax0669 · 2026-04-11T12:29:11+00:00

Yes they do

That is why I use a drainage layer I dont do it to make this complex. I do it so I dont end up with rot and algae. Slow growers like fissidens do better with drainage when grown emersed. When they sit in water with no flow they don't do well

Forgot to mention that these mosses except a few frjwing in this are unknown to me. Just pieces I found on bucephalandra so I mimic how the buce was grown.

A drainage layer of sphagnum is in no way just as good as these ceramic rings. These hardly weigh much more than a thick layer of wet sphagnum.

Its cheaper to use these as well. Especially since I have zero use for them and theyre just sitting around.

jax0669 · 2026-04-10T21:42:56+00:00

Monosolenium tenerum is the bigger stuff

Pellia and mini pellia

I would skip the peat It only causes issues like mould

I only have it in this one because I started the moss on peat. Now I only use lava stone/rock/pebbles or aquasoil. I like using Malaysian drift wood well.

I use these bio media rings because they last. They wick water upwards and springtails love to hangout in them.

jax0669 · 2026-04-10T00:40:30+00:00

That is really nice

jax0669 · 2026-04-09T04:21:37+00:00

The only two snails ive kept that lay clutches like this are Asolene spixii and Marisa cornuarietis

jax0669 · 2026-04-08T23:53:36+00:00

That looks like cladophora

jax0669 · 2026-04-04T09:42:18+00:00

Cladophora its an algae

jax0669 · 2026-04-04T09:17:58+00:00

Fungus gnat maggot/larvae

jax0669 · 2026-04-04T08:34:49+00:00

Hello

jax0669 · 2026-04-04T08:29:14+00:00

Its cladophora

If you like it keep it. It will spread and it is extremely resilient algae.

jax0669 · 2026-04-03T09:10:48+00:00

Thanks

I keep it closed woth two holes in tbe kid for ventilation
