2-No clue looks like stuff in the 30gal

# 1 is cabomba carolina (could be ambulia but I doubt it.)
# 2 is a melon sword.
# 3 either stargrass or mermaid weed

Second Pic.........
# 1 is a java fern
# 2 is either stargrass or mermaid weed

I am in no way an expert..................

Fishboy93 · 10-11-2005, 05:51 AM

I hate how all those fuzzy plants look alike

Damon · 10-11-2005, 07:32 AM

They don't really. Once you get to know the various plants and look at leaf structure and how they grow from the nodes, it becomes easier.

Cabomba leaves grow more horizontal.

Fish Friend · 10-12-2005, 11:01 AM

thanks guys!!! the 1 is very different from the 2 in the 10, does java fern send out baby plantleys and its best planted on wood, rocks??

awesome kid · 10-12-2005, 06:04 PM

simpte, what's a node?

Damon · 10-12-2005, 06:44 PM

Yes java fern does.

A node is a growth point on a stem plant. The "bumps" along the stem where roots or leaves grow.

Fishboy93 · 10-12-2005, 08:14 PM

Hey Simpte I got a problem:

My ambulia got this weird black smudge that is slowly wilting all the leaves.
Im try to contain it in case it can affect and i cut leaves of the ones that have it. What do i do?????

Damon · 10-12-2005, 10:05 PM

Tank specs please......

Fishboy93 · 10-13-2005, 04:54 PM

29gall
pH-7.1
Nitrate-??(Probably low cause of plants)
Ammonia-.30ppm

I dont have all the test kits yet sry.

Damon · 10-14-2005, 10:43 AM

Lighting? CO2? Substrate?

Fish girl · 10-14-2005, 05:28 PM

Don't bother with that ****, CO2 you don't neeeeeeed it. All plants need is water and graval.

shev · 10-14-2005, 06:14 PM

lol. ok, sorry if im wrong. but Im pretty sure we have a troll in our hands.

mlefev · 10-14-2005, 06:23 PM

Lol, ya think?

Lara · 10-14-2005, 06:36 PM

There is a difference between 'trollness' and what I suspect is youthful ignorance/arrogance and/or inexperience, don't be too quick to judge

I think the first one is Ambulia (unless my Ambulia was labelled wrong in the shop), I thought the java fern was some kind of crypt but guess I was wrong.

Lara · 10-14-2005, 06:40 PM

P.S. I really love that first tank! What's the background? Is it rocks stacked up or some kind of specialised creation? Looks awesome, esp. with the Ambulia/Cabomba growing out all over the place, congratulations!

shev · 10-14-2005, 06:43 PM

It just seems she already knows the questions, and is just trying to get a rise. read her other posts, cross posting puffers into the cichlid section.

Similar to the "hey con eye haf a oscar in an 2 gallon tank" question, knowing the answer. anyone else remmeber that thread? lol.

I could be wrong.
