When the lettuce flattens it’s trying to get more light. So the way yours are is just perfect. Sometimes the edges will burn and that’s because it’s adjusting or water is too warm. I grow inside and outside. Water movement is actually ok as long as it has everything else it needs. My koi eat the roots so they won’t get huge but they will still do great. This is my experience. Love your videos! Very easy to follow.
Hey Mate. I am absolutely the bomb in growing frogbit! OUTSIDE! I don't think frogbit likes the warmer climes of the tropical or indoor aquarium. It grows like a pest in my outside pond - constantly killing my pond fish if I don't cull the plant often. Thus, when one lot of frogbit dies down in my aquarium, I simply move some in from the pond! Within 5 minutes of the transfer, the roots of the frogbit will have trapped ten times their weight in aquarium debris. Great for top feeders to play in and good breeding areas too. Pick it out and rinse off the muck and then put it back!Simples! When it starts to look sick3, either put it back in the pond or fertilise your plants within! Win/win cheers Ozabby
I've tried all the floaters you mentioned. Duckweed is a plague, frogbit is invasive and I have to keep selling it off, and lettuce blocks too much light so I don't like it. The only floater I absolutely can not keep alive are red root floaters. The best part is that the frogbit is invasive enough to pay for all my fish foods.
I don't know Frogbit - one bit, but isn't the water lettuce stealing all the nutrience from the frogbit? It seems you put a little bit of Frogbit amoungst loads of competing Water lettuce. Try a nutrient/fish loaded tank with just the Frogbit and let us know how that goes? Thanks for your vids.
I love your channel, plants, fish, house, ADHD, you seem like a cool guy. Thanks for the information my friend. If feels nice to be part of the fish fam. & you seem like a cool😎 guy. it’s nice to see you talking about shared passions, such as our fish keeping hobby with husbandry of these beautiful plants, fish, & other critters like the microflora & microfauna.
Salvinia minima looks better but somehow duckweed is from the 7th level and crowds out other floaters. Duckweed also gets on everything, including you, if you have to reach in the tank for any reason.
from Thailand👋 I can't keep frogbit healthy as for duckweed often turn small and white leaf. I think giant duckweed and water lettuce is the best. It's super easy to care.
Not sure if it's the lighting , none of the floating plants looking healthy, all the plants should have a darker green color , need more leaves on that water lettuce. May be because they are mainly tropical outdoor residents.
