[gregorsamsa]

Hey brothers,

my grass (dunnoe what name are dying) so im thinking of setting up a low light light plant tank. Anyone can intro me such stem plants with their pics, or where to find the pics? Cos i go the LFS they dunnoe the scientifi name... Can help? Thanks?

Maybe you could try some types of Moss or Fern. They require relatively low levels of light and can survive in most water conditions.

[|squee|]

Java moss
Anubias Nana
Java Fern

These are the best low requirement plants you can find.

For stem plant, i can't think of any. Even if they can start off well, problem will arise as they grow tall as the lower part of the stem plant starts to rot due to the lack of light.......

Maybe you want to try what the others suggested.

Hi Greg,

I rather understand what caused the death of your plants. would it be water parameters, light, CO2, etc? Once you get the fundamental right, you will truely enjoy this hobby.

Don't give up trying!

Cheers!

Low-light stem plants you may want to try :

- Ceratopteris thalictroides
- Didiplis diandra
- Hygrophilia polysperma

Look for their pictures in the Flora/Fauna section.

yeah.
i just bought some yamatoes from clementi.

im waiting for all the grass to die before i buy the nanas and the java fern. how much argh?

anyway i always read epople using base boosters and roots monster, how effective are they?

im currently using plant plus every day as well as sera iron tabs once a week.
enough?

If you are only using nana and ferns, you don't need to add in any of that.

[gregorsamsa]

oh is it?
ok thanks brother

[gregorsamsa]

hey brothers,

i saw the six plants that youi guys have mentioned.

Apart from that are there any other else? i bought the java fern nanas already. Cept for the java moss which i heard is quite easy to grow but hard to control.
