guys
im kinda new in this planted tank thinggy
i was wonderin izzit possible for not using co2 in a 2ft tank wit some plant inside? (i was thinkin on planting java ferns)

yes it is possible.. keep it low tech...

something for this thread..

i did a little search at wikipedia and the fish from the photo i posted is green/grey corydoras like Namgor2006 said and it is scavenger-type one.
i put this new guy sekor only (wikipedia image) into the tank and it eat all the algae ! wow.

kinda excited because my leaves very licin no algae now in just 6 hr. Pleco short term for Plecostomus ?
How come it cost for rm 150 for baby pleco while i buy ~2 inch pleco @ rm3.50 only ? diff pleco ?

fedaplah
my glosso spreading upward, not sideways
how to make them spread sideways???

Pleco has quite many types also, some selling in high price cause it is not local breed such high fin leopard pleco (if i'm not mistaken for the name). Mostly pleco & corydoras are family, which they're belong to Catfish category.

Pleco does eat algae, but less effective than SAE or Otto cause they're actually omnivorous. Search Omnivorous in google, u'll know what it's mean



Here are some update for my tank:

not enough light... add more light... it will grow sideway

after stop my aquarium life for almost two years after my CRS rack failed. I'm going to start back soon..
wish me good luck..

ooouw orite then
i was thinkin about planting more than 2 types of plant
more playground for my future guppies
so do u know any other plants,beside java ferns,dat will thrive inside non-co2 aquarium?

no offense Lookout!,
95% of the plant need co2 to grow well and fresh...
Java fern ,
Narrow Leaf Fern,
Bolbitis,
Moss ( all kind of moss ) ,
Anubis ( nana petite , or big Anubis ),
stem plant, (those cheap one RM2 Cabomba ),
hmm cant think much atm...
this all is plant that can survive without co2,
and it will grows but super slow haha...

wow
thx for da info!
as long dis baby alive in my aquarium,im kinda satisfied already
but i will use co2 in the future but for now,relax dulu lah
im new in dis planted tank world so,yeah non-co2 surviving plant is the best option for now

wow! those discus it surely attractive,btw is tat java moss at the bottom of the driftwood?

2ft tank with 55w not enough??...

plant more...

the_catacombs


singular species of plant not nice lah
get bored real quick to stare at
;p

No worry,
just ask if have any question about it =)
will help out...

Thanks for ur compliment.

Yea, those r java moss that i put them below the drift wood.
My first attempt to tie on the driftwood & rock failed, then i started to think that if i can put them under the drictwood or rocks (this idea was exactly from one of the LYN forumer as well)

For these moment, my Java moss & Java Fern can survive but can't grow beautiful because of my water temperature is 29 to 30 degree.
It's damn hot for the plants, but it's make the Discus healthy (contra)

Perhaps, i need to buy 2 cooling fan few weeks later.

i don't monitor water temperature
i think my light is enough for the size of the tank
but i use timer, only turn on 8 hrs per day, not enough is it?
CO2 i think is fine, turn on continuously
