How to grow pothos in aquarium to reduce nitrates. 

Thanks! Hopefully I can get them to breed soon.

Thanks for the input. I know you can grow it full submerged but i never tryed it. But I grow it partially submerged in some other tanks.

Welcome

The plants shouldn't have any problem with this as long as: 1. There's enough nutrients in the water column. 2. There's good water flow around the roots. 3. The initial stem cut angle let them feed freely (if you use cuttings) 4. Your fish don't eat the roots. 5. Your plants have access to natural light or full spectrum light. This is specially important at the beginning. You could test it with just a cutting if your stressed about it. Note that if you have a established planted tank, pothos might use to much of the nutrients from the water column, making it difficult for your aquarium plants to thrive.

About 3 years but I trim it at lest once a year because it get to long and attach itself to the paintings.

You can't go wrong with pothos

It will follow light so maybe put a floor lamp near the tank, so it grow horizontal towards it.

There lots of factors that will affect this like how many pothos, pothos size, fish size, fish stock, tank size. But I'll tell you before I started with pothos my tank nitrates level was climbing by 40-60ppm weekly, after a few months with pothos it was only climbing by 10-20ppm weekly.

@@BenAfricanCichlids that’s awesome!

It will mainly depend on water flow and oxygen in the water. You can keep the whole plant under water and it will still grow, it will be slow but it will grow.
