The Umbrosum Plant was planted in the Display Tank this afternoon to replace the Hygrophila Corymbosa Kompakt Plant. The Kompakt Plant had been eaten by some of the fish in the tank. The Umbrosum Plant is an aquatic plant. I think it looks nicer than the Kompakt Plant. I hope this plant will grow well in the tank.
The Banana Lily plants have been growing very well in the display tank. Both plants have ‘flowered’. As you can see, the flower is floating on the surface of the water and looks like lilies.
The Hygrophila Corymbosa Kompakt Plant is an aquatic plant. This plant will grow well with the addition of CO2, iron, potassium and trace elements fertiliser.
The Banana Lily Plant in the tank is growing very well. The stem in the middle is growing rapidly and hopefully, the plant will flower soon.
The Ambulia is an aquatic plant. It is a very fast growing plant and looks splendid in a planted aquarium. Under ideal water conditions, good lighting and with good CO2, this plant can grow up to one inch per day. This plant thrives in the temperature range between 18 to 32 degrees celsius.
Fast growing, beautiful plant:
The Water Sprite plant is a stem aquatic plant. The proper name for this plant is Ceratopteris thalictroides. It thrives in the temperature range of 20 to 30 degree celsius and pH range between 5 to 8. The growth rate is fast and does not require a lot of light.
Planted:
By the way, the fish in the photo is a Boesemani Rainbow Fish.
Amazon Swords from the existing tank. Had to trim the roots and leaves before planting into the new tank.
The Hair Grass Plant (aka Eleocharis) is an aquatic plant. Ideal temperature range is 22 to 27 degree celsius. This is different from the Dwarf Hair Grass and can grow quite tall. As a result, the Hair Grass Plant is current planted at the back of the tank. I will post more details of the Dwarf Hair Grass soon.
