I had my 55 gallon tank with a custom 10 gallon sump tank made out of a 10 gallon fish tank. I had pthos growing our of it and have not done a water change in 5 years and have not lost a single fish. All of them are very active with bright colors.

@@elsancho-mx7om you have to condition it first. two things are essential for best results. Lots of oxygenation (air stones, powerheads) and seachem flourish. You will get leaf melt but eventually the pothos will adapt to being submerged and the roots/shoots will grow. You will always have a leaf go bad but just snip it off. Because oxygen transmission is lower in water, you have to add the aeration. Let the pothos float when you put it in the tanks. Pothos will grow but not grow fast when submerged. You can counter this by just adding more.

Most of this is ok, except plants don't remove much nitrate, they always take Ammonia first in preference, meaning there is less available for conversion in the 'Ammonia -> Nitrite -> Nitrate cycle'. I tend to use Pothos, Peace Lilies, Lucky Bamboo but have used faster growing plants like mint, normal floating aquatic plants can also be effective but delicate.

You opened my eyes. For 2 month now I thought I hab a Monstera Deliciosa and wondered why mine looked so small and wrinkly. Now I realised it was just labled wrong when I bought it and I actually have a monstera adansonii :'D Thank you.
@u2bst1nks
@u2bst1nks 6 месяцев назад
Both deliciosa and andansonii will grow small leaves if they're not allowed to climb. If the plant is given a plank or moss pole to climb, the plant will mature and grow larger leaves with more fenestrations. Without something to climb, they will produce long leggy vines with small leaves. The same goes for pothos.

I can definitely vouch for peace lily being a great addition to tanks. I have a 5g tank on my desk that I recently changed the light on. That caused the Crypts and Buce in the tank to almost entirely melt back. Doh! Since that tank tended to stay right around 10ppm for nitrate, and I knew the melt would jack that up further, I moved a peace lily from a tank where it wasn't getting enough light. Despite the massive leaf melt, nitrates plummeted to ZERO in a couple of days. Melt continued for a few more days. I tested the water daily throughout this to watch for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate spikes. Everything remained at 0 once the peace lily brought the nitrates down. I'm even having to dose with ferts weekly now. The Crypt is starting to come back in. No sign of the Buce recovering yet. But through all that, the ember tetras and shrimp in the tank continue to thrive, and the water remains healthy for them. I know that peace lily made the difference, as the last time I had a massive crypt melt (in a 29g that time, due to a light failure), it caused a HUGE spike in the nasties.

Philodendron come in a lot of different looks and sizes, so you can diversify the aesthetic too. I have only been doing top offs without water changes for years thanks to all the plants (I vacuum a few times a year just to keep the tank neat).

@CatFish107 Год назад
to add some confirmation of your last point. I've got a hybrid endler/guppy colony, and it can get overpopulated fairly quickly. About a year after putting unrooted cuttings of pothos and M. deliciosa in, the top of the tank is covered in vines, and the back wall is covered in roots. Now, the plants do absolutely help keep the nitrates down. Just been looking for some variety, and possibly an even more effective variety for the tubs full of mystery snails and guppies. Trying to grow out a handful of hatches of snails sure puts a bioload on the system!

Another thing with plants out of the water is they are getting their water from the tank, and losing some of it into the air, so yeah you will have to top off the tanks more often. And the faster the growth the more water they will take.

But I see what part of the pond they chill in and the water isn't deep at all, and there is tons of vegetation. I hope to r replicate that second of the pond for the little dude. Also I will now be adding other plants to the bog filter to my turtle and cat fish, which by the way I run a small fluval canister filter I think a 207 on it, and then I have arrow head vine, and golden pothos and lucky bamboo that filter the water. I think I lost my sun fish to my cat fish. Was almost certain that Ernie was to big to eat. They have grown up with each other.

Here in the UK, it is sold as pond plant, and people say that it needs to be in cooler water and that fishtank might be too warm for it, but I see that its country of origin is Egypt and I doubt that it grows there is temperate climate.

Amazing channel! surprisingly there aren't many channels talking about ripariums outside of aquascapic designs like MD life. Could you do a suggestion for smaller plants like less than 1 foot that can grow? all riprium plants seem to grow into tree tall sizes. Also can there be plants other than just green so we can have variety in color? I tried to get chinese evergreen based in your suggestion as it has some red but greenhouse store said they dont bring it as its very delicate and extremely slow grower.

Syngonium white butterfly known as arrowhead plants will out grow any of your top 5 plants you mentioned here. It will grow and spread so fast that it needs to be trimmed back monthly. Sweet Potato vines are also a fast grower as well. I have used all the plants you mentioned here plus many more house plants like Dieffenbachia, Aglaonema, Tradescantia, Spider plants, Oyster plants, Elephant ear plants and many more.

Syngonium and sweet potato vine don’t grow as well for me, and yes there are many varieties of plants to grow (which is awesome!) I grow many different species myself, these five have been most effective for me so far. Glad you’re having good results from the plants you mentioned!

The syngonium in my tank has gone completely wild, it's always growing new leaves and has 4x its size

very informative and well-presented. i was wondering what size tank would be needed to have the monstera deliciosa, i have a 29g, would that be big enough?
@plantlifeproject
@plantlifeproject Год назад
Thanks! 29 gallon may be fine, depends on how well it grows for you. If that’s what you already have, I would give it a shot, maybe start a cutting instead of a large plant.

You can also grow rice both as a houseplant and as an aquarium plant. You can grow it from brown rice grains. It immitates natural habitat for labirynth fish.

There’s a great video of a plant only tank with guppies and shrimp with zero filter or air pump and it’s survived over a year.

Do you have any videos on how you can keep large peace Lilly or monstera growing in a tank? I have a 75 I’d like some large plants in but I’m unsure how to attach or hang them in the tank. Thanks!
