2 novice questions about plants in water
*** post for FREE via your newsreader at post.newsfeed.com ***
Hello, I am having two questions about plants in a fish tank: 1. How can I fix plants which are free-floating (like hornwort) in the gravel? I read in a book that they may be fixed with a band of tinfoil (wound round the lower end of the stem) which will hold it down to the bottom. 2. I also have a betta fish bowl in which I was advised to put a pothos cut in order to root and provide some minimal filtration. I did so and both pothos and betta are doing fine; except that I am getting this slimy coating all over the bowl. When I change the water and remove the plant everything is fine ; once I place the plant in the bowl I am getting again the slimy thing. In extreme situations(when I delay changing the water), this slimy coating turn visible: whitish filaments hanging on everything. It looks to me like bacteria colonies. Can somebody please explain the phenomenon. -- Cordially, Nic.
