thanks bro ... was thinking of converting the gravel for rooted plants .... but afraid my shrimp and fish will die of water change

might be good to check up on that stem, whether it'll change the water parameters, and whether it can be grown submerged, otherwise if it starts rotting like other terrestrial plants, then your shrimps will definitely get affected...

If I'm not wrong, they sell that plant with bubble fertilizers right?

no ... i did ask them before ... and i still take precaution to soak the bamboo stem in water for a week to clear off toxic ... when i first bought it is put in a water container .

will rooting plants cause problems for shrimps ? i am not using any soil for this setup ... only black quazt .. so i have to trim the root more often ?

Hi Melvin, I like the small pot on your left corner in your 1st pic. I'm sure your setup will look much better after it matures. All the best to you.
