Thanx

Schalk

sorry people this is the wrong pics! lol will post the ones i want now! now i feel dom!

 

lol sorry about that!

The following 2 plants where sold to me as java fern and anubias, but why is the tips of the java fern so split and twisted? It does not look like the other pics i saw of java fern...

Thanx

Schalk

 

ok this is very deur mekaar now. i want id on all the plants please. The last two where sold to me as anubias and java fern i got them like that on the drift wood...

 

the last onelooks a java fern and the second last one is anubius

 

ok thanx but then why is the java fern's tips look so twisted with litle black edges?

 

"java fern's tips look so twisted with litle black edges?" Lace Java Fern or
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' - Tropica

 

I agree.

1st one is a green plan (easy grower)
Second and 4th one are redish plants. I've tried them both, and they both died in my tank. Unless you have very high light, and inhecting CO2, you can expect them to pass out. Just watch their roots. Their leaves stay alive for months, but what you don't realise is the roots are rotting away and poisoning the water in the substrate
Third one is another green plant. (This is also an easy grower)

 

no.2 is losing leaves like crazy! find one at the top of my tank every day! no.4 is growing well. have 3 bushes of these guys in the tank, an i have 0.5w/l of light. 2x silvania growlux and 1 aqua glo and another boyu blue spectrum light. Using the profs low tech ferts and the pfp method. hope it works!

 

image 668 in front - Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' - Tropica
back probably some sort of Telanthera - these need loads of light ... roots on the stem should not be removed.

663 middle - a bacopa of some sort ?
664 - back plant a Rose Sword - echinodorus x 'rose'
front is not an aquatic plant - Hemigraphis exotica

665 - left a bacopa of some sort middle Telanthera right echinodorus x 'rose'
666 Telanthera Reineckii ?
667 anubias barteri var nana

or maybe not ?

 

From where did you purchase them? The last 1 is deff java fern and the second last one is anubiu. As far as I know they are the only plants that realy root them self to the driftwood. allthough my java mos kling to the wood sumtimes

 

Hi Schalk,let me have a try.
#1;Bacopa monnieri.Slow to medium grower,does well in bright light.
#2;Hemigraphis colorata or Crimson ivy.A nonaquatic plant,i.e.a plant found in marshes or swamp.Looks good but will deteriorate inevitably in the aquarium.
#3;Looks like Hygrophila polysperma.Fast grower,does well in bright light,easy grower.
#4;Alternanthera reineckii.Medium to fast grower depending on conditions.Needs bright to very bright light.Beautifull if you can get it going.
#5;Anubia barteri.Easy to grow altough very slow.Very robust,does well in low light.
#6;Microsorium pteropus 'Windelov',Java fern.Slow to medium growth.Undemanding,does well in low light.
Hope this help.

 

Thanx every1! you think that no4. will grow in my light setup?

 

Yes ... but time will tell how well.

 

The Java fern tips are ok! They have either been emersed for a while or the tips are making new plantlets! Windelov look very similar, but the whole leave are more curly.
Watch out for that red-cabage/beetroot- looking plant! - it's a fish killer!
Go to the links of Tropica and familiarize yourself with plants, as a lot of non-aquatic plants are sold, to make a quick buck.
Good luck, the Java fern and anubias could outlive you!

f-fish i realy hope those alternanthera reinickii do make it and start growing well, i realy like them and i saw some pics of what they look like when they realy grow! you think my lights will be good enough?

Gertjc i took that one out just now as all his leaves where falling off anyway! thanx for all the help!

 

ay i also under the impression that the first one is a java fern ,thats what they told me we bought it ,it died and came bak to life il call it frakenplant anyways ,the red one could it possibly be [for the char-Oz]baagee ?

LOL!
I was going to ask what language he's speaking.

 

hey bud .no comment on the plants but i see in your first two pics yout tank is hanging over the edge unsuported .this would give me sleeples nights , have you thought of adding a nice thick peace of wood , ply or masonite under the poly to support the tank evenly.

 

I think this was discussed in a previous thread.

Schalk, nice plants
The reineckii you will need high light and CO2 is a plus
Crimson ivy is for the pot plant on the windowsill
Keep the anubias and Java Fern in the shadows as they easily pic up algae
