Re: Is this a baby anubias?

Got some pics this morning, and I'm pretty sure it's not duckweed. I mean, I haven't added any new plants in months, so that's unlikely. Only thing I've done recently is switch from gravel to playsand.

Here are the pics - take a look and see what you think.

Is this a baby anubias?

I was getting rid of some dead water sprite and stumbled upon this teeny tiny plant that looks just like a baby anubias. I'm wondering, can anubias actually produce a new little plant like that? I have an anubias nangi and a Lynxa, and the Lynxa's flower is still going strong. Could this little guy ...

Re: Growing and propagating plants: tips and techniques


I've been doing some research on this too, and from what I've found, most aquarium plants, especially Anubias and Crypts, tend to grow faster when they're not submerged in water. There are a few exceptions, like Vallis and Java Moss, but for the most part, you can grow them out of water.

If you ...

Re: Growing and propagating plants: tips and techniques

Hey coltin, I've got my totes, soil, and fertilizer ready to go, but I'm still deciding on the lighting. I've found a few LED options that seem decent and won't break the bank. Since the room doesn't get direct sunlight, I think any of these would work. Plus, I can attach them to a shelf to get them ...

Growing and propagating plants: tips and techniques

I've been thinking about growing and propagating plants outside of a traditional aquarium setup. I was considering using plastic tubs with lights. For anubias and crypts, is it better to grow them submersed or emersed? I want to buy a few pots, plant them, and let them grow and propagate before ...
