My Massive Amazon Sword Plant
Just wanted to talk about my Amazon Sword plant. The variety of sword I believe is the Echinodorus Grisebachii. I've had this plant for many years and it never grew much, but after it robbed my other plant of its root tab it exploded!

Had a lot of fun playing with this light, It really is beautiful not only the light effect, but the overall quality and construction. Very easy to use as well for those of those not tech savvy. I really enjoy having this on Plantcity, a very decent price as well compared to many. You can check it out here! www.hygger-online.com/product/planted-aquarium-lighting/?ref=sheezxth

    I have dirted deep substrate, but if I don't stick root tabs every 6 months (give or take) to my swords, they start to suffer. Both Echinodorus and Helanthium. Week or two and I can tell a difference. Bigger plants even flower and produce offshots.

    Thank you for your suggestions. My goldfish tank was awful with algae. The filter had algae growing on it. It took me over 3 hours to clean it. I changed her rocks. I cleaned her filter with soapy water and rinsed it out very well. I have 1 single goldfish in a 10 gallon. I typically do a partial water change and a filter change every month. I am guilty of having her light on longer since it is getting dark out earlier. I am going to try leaving her light off to see if that helps.

    • @lakesregionaquariums2887
      @lakesregionaquariums2887 Місяць тому

      @ginabaker8167 larger water changes will help out tremendously, and less feeding of so that the goldfish produces less waste, and the 10 gallon being a small environment the waste levels that can fuel the algae happen much quicker, so ma6be down the road if it works out for you get the goldfish a larger aquarium if not keep up with large 75% water changes once a week! Also be careful with soap when cleaning aquariums that can usually cause some problems with the fishes health. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for watching my video!😀

    I am new at this. My tank is a 55 gallon an not quite as heavenly planted as your. It's only two months old I do between 20 or 30 percent water change weekly an while gravel vacing . I have a tidal 55 hob fitter and have been squeezing my sponges out in the tank water the following day after a water change. Is that ok

      @lakesregionaquariums2887 2 місяці тому

      @alvinkappel9646 hey thanks for checking out the video! Glad to have you in the hobby! At two months old the tank is definitely still young I'd probably avoid cleaning both sponges if my memory is correct the tidal HOB comes with two sponges, so If you wish I don't see a problem cleaning only one of them out. But the more bacteria you keep the better in the early days of a tank. I'd probably recommend to leave them both dirty for some time until you start seeing the filter have less flow. Then when that happens I'd say don't do a watcher change that week. But clean the sponges instead. That way you are always keeping a healthy balance of bacteria in the tank🙂

    • @alvinkappel9646
      @alvinkappel9646 2 місяці тому

      @lakesregionaquariums2887 Thank you for getting back to me. My filter only came with one sponge and a bag of media so I bought a couple fluvial sponges to add to it plus a large sponge filter with a power head on top of it. Maybe I an wrong but I thought if you squeeze your sponges out using your tank water you didn't remove the bacteria . Thanks again.

    Dope video brotha. I bought 3 blue paradise gouramis about 3 weeks ago. They're very territorial with each other but stay out of the way of the other fish so I'd recommend bigger fish for tank mates. I have roseline sharks, Siamese algae eaters, and a bala shark as my top/mid level swimmers. Yoyo & zebra loaches along with a 15 inch fire eel as my bottom swimmers. The paradise gouramis are easily my favorite fish besides the fire eel and golden roseline shark. Hope this helps anyone checking out Paradise Gouramis.
