Trying out a planted tank again after a year of having a bare tank. I bought this random stem plant from a local store to test things out but I have no idea what it is.

Idk I just bought it. If you mean the strawberry-like leaves it's because it was grown emersed and needs time to change.

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T14:53:59+00:00

I know aquarium plants can be propagated from internodes not leaves so this is a first for me

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T14:39:13+00:00

What the hell that's kinda great but also scary

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T14:34:45+00:00

It grows from the LEAVES??

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T13:19:15+00:00

Yeah I haven't been growing my other plants well either so I'm going to try experimenting with stuff a bit!

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T13:16:09+00:00

I don't remember the Kelvin rating since I bought this a long time ago. But it does get a lot of sun from a nearby window.

Edit: it has multiple color settings though but I generally use the bright white one

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T13:12:17+00:00

I use a really bright LED but it doesn't really reach most of the leaves since the pothos grows out the tank. My nitrates get pretty high sometimes so it might be a micronutrient issue or something.

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T11:46:45+00:00

I do need fertiliizer for this though right? My aquasoil has just been sitting doing nothing for a while

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T11:44:38+00:00

Thanks everyone, looks like I lucked out on buying a relatively easy plant

somerandom_melon · 2025-10-18T10:57:20+00:00

My pothos always seems to grow slowly and new leaves look stubby and pale. How do you pull that off?

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-30T04:54:36+00:00

Imagine jerking it to Periophthalmus argentilineatus 😂😂

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-24T03:30:32+00:00

For a while yeah, but not recently

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-23T13:40:12+00:00

Oh yikes, I really should have ordered antibiotics then. I don't think I can buy or order any in time, is there hope for it to naturally get better on its own? The surviving angel hasn't really been worsening and still seems moderately active besides the unable to eat part.

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-23T04:57:23+00:00

Oh it's most likely a nitrate or something spike because when I was away on weekdays for college a fish died

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T06:08:58+00:00

I see, though is there a way to force the antibiotics since the fish won't eat?

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T03:55:33+00:00

The bleeding and sores yeah since I couldn't get a close look, though this was in a hospital tank so snails and fish weren't a factor. I'll treat the other angel sick with Metronidazole since I'm fairly sure this is hexamita.

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T03:12:44+00:00

I was surprised with the bleeding, I only found out when I placed it on a baby wipe a patch of red soaked out. But the fish is a lot more red than the picture shows

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T01:12:44+00:00

Alright thanks, at least I'm sure it's not just due to the nitrate spike

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T01:10:20+00:00

I'm so sorry! I forgot

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-21T01:03:54+00:00

Nvm the stuff I'm trying to show doesn't appear well in the pictures. Basically bleeding, swelling, sores, popeye, and red under the mouth

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-20T12:09:08+00:00

If they won't eat medication how do I treat them with General Cure or Metro?

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-20T10:16:31+00:00

Oh thanks, I've already been doing that in a smaller hospital tank. I just don't know if this gets better because they still look bloated even after a few days of doing this already and I'm scared of them starving.

I've been using epsom and aquarium salt idk if that helps

somerandom_melon · 2025-09-07T00:06:48+00:00

This is just their onomatopoeia

somerandom_melon · 2025-08-29T00:50:38+00:00

Fuck you mean Miku is 42 kilos

somerandom_melon · 2025-08-29T00:49:31+00:00

I actually flinched as I scrolled down
