It's so funny about what you said about buying "one" fish instead of multiple in a species (like neon tetras). I bought a single neon tetra that was the last one in a tank at PetSmart. He is now 4 years old! He's been through many other neon and cardinal tetra pals and they all died! I bought a single male guppy, who was alone in a tank at the pet store, and he is now hanging out with my neon and he is also thriving! He is so funny and loves coming up to the glass when he sees me. He's very social and been a great match for my neon!

Thanks for the tip with the crypt plants. It’s so frustrating when they melt. I’ve found that my best tips for growing aquatic plants are making sure the fish are plant friendly (don’t put a silver dollar in a planted tank) and giving the plants enough nutrients. For example, a sword plant needs nutrients at the roots, so a fert table near the base will make it grow like a weed.

Crypts are among the hardier plants out there, unless conditions change suddenly. Their tops might melt under stress, but a plant with healthy stem and roots will rally quickly. A plant that is transitioning well without melting should not be clipped or cropped. Always look for a plant with lots of roots.

Most of my success has been with rhizome plants and rosette plants. They root just fine. But that approach to dealing with crypt melt is interesting. With terrestrial planting, cutting back many of the leaves can help a young plant or clipping. But cutting all of them is terrifying even though I see the logic. I have similar problems with stem plants. They just don't do well. I use inert petco sand. It's not really sand. It's a bit larger, and I don't think it can compact. I don't use a planted substrate because I'm never changing my substrate and planted substrates run out of juice.

I just got finished (hopefully) getting rid of BBA in my 29 gal. I removed all of my fish, shrimp, snails and vallisneria (because I read that they are sensitive to hydrogen peroxide) and "nuked" the tank. I added 2 cups of peroxide and immediately the BBA started to bubble. The next day it was brownish-red. 2 days later I added a capful of Excel and the BBA turned gray. On day 5 I pulled my plants out one by one and cleaned off the BBA as best I could. I did an 80% water change and vacuumed out as much algae as I could. On day 7 I added new filter media and replaced the plants. By day 10 I thought it was safe to add the fish, etc. back and they are doing well. My swords, on the other hand, went into shock and the leaves melted. My rotala looked sick so i trimmed away the bad parts and replanted. I keep looking to see if the BBA is coming back but so far, so good. If I have to do it again I think I might scale back the peroxide to 1 cup or pull all of the plants and give them a dunk in a weak peroxide and Excel bath and then nuke the gravel and driftwood. This kinda worked but be careful. I had a really bad case of BBA and went overboard.

I put a layer of the fluval plant and shrimp stratum, then put a layer of sand on top. Try to plan your tank layout ahead of time. I ended up moving some things later and the two substrates mix easily when moving things. No negative effects to the plant, just some fluval on top of the sand now.

@@mauricematla1215 I've been using duckweed for quite some time and I assure you my tanks are heavily planted and I still get nitrates, just more slowly than a sparsely planted tank. My plants (and animals) are all healthy and growing fine. I do skim off duckweed every time I do a water change. I've seen what it can do when it overgrows--I had a serious back issue and couldn't do much of anything for a few months. Everything survived--plants and animals--but the tanks had gotten quite dim from the cover the duckweed caused and I began to worry there wasn't enough surface agitation happening for proper gas exchange. It will easily get away from you if you don't stay on top of it. Even so--without a water change for that long, nitrates were present but well below 40 ppm. There are definite benefits. not that I'd ever neglect a tank on purpose. Sometimes things are out of our control. So, I don't know if your comment is based on experience or not. But mine is.

Here's a tip: If you really want more of a plant and it can grow emersed, consider propagating cuttings in small flowerpots filled with very moist soil and placed in plastic bags to retain humidity. I did this and had a huge mass of Hydrocotyl tripartita 'Japan' until I killed it by injecting CO2 (it turns out that that's extremely toxic for terrestrial plants...). Another tip: Glossostigma cleistanthum, Vallisneria americana, Elocharis acicularis, and some really cool Potamogeton and Isoetes species grow in ponds and waterways even in New England, so nature can be your aquarium shop on a budget.

Yes, cutting the leaves and roots down on the crypts make total sense! Wish I'd have thought of that. Great tip! I have a tip. Don't vacuum the substrate around the plants, just the open areas. The fish poo is a great fertilizer. Ever since I have stopped this practice, my rooted plants have really taken off and are lush. I don't even vacuum my tank with dwarf sag and it is a thick jungle in there! And I was just about to start CO2, no need now. Love the hillstream loaches at 3:23. Someday I'll have some. Ha! I didn't hear a word that you said at 6:02 because of that funny tot on your lap! Don't let that discourage you from have tots in future videos, I can always rewind! Your kids are adorable. At 5:48 you should have the Benny Hill theme playing. That betta looks funny in fast motion! Thanks for some great advice once again!

Will you do a video on the test kit for plant nutrients? I did know they had a test kit for that. Thank you for the content you give. Great job I enjoy your videos. ~Brad ~

Yeah, for sure! I basically ended buying a bunch of individual test kits that weren't included in the regular API master test kit - phosphate, potassium, GH & KH... I'm still missing a bunch, but it started getting expensive. :P

How old is your daughter and what's her name? She's so cute! I have two daughters, they're six and four and named Quinn and Ashlyn. You should get her to set-up a tank with you, would be a fun memory. We have five tanks at home and my kids are not at all interested in them. Bummer.

Hehe, she's right around the same age! Her unofficial, online nickname is Game Girl because my husband is Mr. Gamer and my son is Game Boy. ;)

I don't understand why Petco continues to sell plants in the fish dept. that are not suitable for aquariums. How do they get away with this? Are they preying upon people that don't do research? This is wrong.

Java ferns are great, apart from the fact that they grow juvenile leaves so often and so much that they make them look bad. So much work to keep them trimmed off

Thanks for the tips. In particular, I had not heard the floating of stem plants. Thanks, I will try that. By the way. As one who has been a sign language translator, your colleague in the middle of the video shows great promise. :) Thanks again, Jim
