Nice. Are the stem plants on the right side glosso?
Can any one help to id the plant in the picture? Thanks!
Looks like Cabomba
Cheers,
JJ
So its not hortwort? I compared with some google pictures, I thought its hortwort.
Its very tall when I got it. I have to trim it right away when I put into the tank. This is a taller one on the other tank.
Missed out the attachment.
@jiajuen900, It really look like cabomba. You are good!
Mind showing ur tanks in full view. Will want to set up another tank soon wanna get some inspiration.

Hi all,
Am I suppose to remove the plants from the white cap or I can leave it there? My concern is that it will not root to the substrate and float.
I don't know what is the red plant, but it sure grow fast and went out of the water. Notice that there are white whiskers from the stem. Am I suppose to trim of the whiskers?
Thanks in advance.
Its best to remove the white ring from LFS-bought stem plants... wash and separate the stems (make sure to check for pests hiding amongst them), then plant the individual stems into the substrate with some spacing in-between them.
If you don't remove the white ring, the stems will remain bunched up and their root growth will be restricted and have less access to nutrients in the substrate.
The red plant looks like one of the ludwigia species, i've also kept it before and its quite an easy plant. The "white whiskers" you see are aerial roots, many stem plants grow them to allow more take up of nutrients from the water column.
No need to trim the aerial roots, they are beneficial to the plant anyways... but if you find the roots unsightly, its okay to trim them (though they will still grow back again after some time).
Thanks UA. I will do that the next time. The plants in white ring are dying.
Hi all,
It's been a while since the last time I ask questions.
My Betta has passed on with a bloated body. I am trying to do a water change and getting ready to add in community fishes. And planning to add in some oto.

Are the particles on the leaves food for oto? They look like dust in water. They are especially prominent when I do water change or disturb the water.

During water change, I notice something that looked like the plant root (as shoen in photo) swimming very fast across the tank. I found 2 of them and "arrested" them. Will this chap be the culprit to cause the death of my betta or community fishes?

Those particles getting kicked up and settling on the plant leaves look like chunks of uneaten food or decomposed waste material (aka mulm). If you see alot of it in the tank it could mean your filter is not drawing in the mulm efficiently, so try and see if you can improve the filter system and also the overall circulation around the tank.
Not sure about the "plant root" thing, though if its actually swimming in the water column then it could be an aquatic insect, any clearer photo of it?
Hi UA,
Thanks for prompt reply. Here's higher resolution photo. I wonder how many more are there. They seem to be under the substrate.

Could be dragonfly nymphs... maybe check the photos of those insects online and compare if they look similar.
