You don't need to buy expensive plants to filter your aquarium. Just get few sweet potato deep one of its end into the tanks and wait for the roots to shoot out. They'll grow wild and keep your tank crystal clear.
Hello. 1-Do you have sand/soil at the bottom of that tank or are the plants just floating in the water? 2-How do you keep your plants erected ? 3-If the plants are planted in the soil, any idea why don't they get root rot? because house plants in a pot get root rot whenever you increase water to the soil
These are water loving plants when u keep them in a tank with no soil and adequate water flow this discourages the bacteria/fungal growth that causes root rot. All immersed plants have no soil. The plants in the aquarium are rooted into the sand. Some of my tanks have a “walstead” substrate with soil underneath and sand topped off. It’s not necessary to have soil with the way I keep my tanks but it does help for the true aquatic plants.
What lights are you using above the houseplants? I recently got some LED bulbs for mine but the info is kind of overwhelming! I read you want to pay attention to Kelvin and Lumens but then some people were saying to look for PPF
Most of the time I just buy whatever they call a “plant bulb” the light over the pond is an industrial grow light because of my brothers previous hobby in growing fruiting plants indoors. Tbh anything with a peak in the red and blue light will do fine. Stuff like pothos don’t really care what lighting u have In my experience
Oh you saw a snail it’s a mystery snail to answer your question yes he can but he don’t want too. (He definitely could in my opinion it’s the plants that act as a “natural lid” that makes the tank seem more enclosed to its inhabitants
I wanna know what you know cuz I’m working on another project that will hopfully help it’s a fungi that lives in water and has a symbiotic relationship with the plant to increase crop production in a hydro environment and to bring back the flavours you get from having that relationship cuz the fungi exchange minerals for sucrose and plants need the minerals and other nutrients that fungi provide and I wanna choose a edible mushroom so your maximizing food production
i 💚 plants SO much! i enjoyed this video & this is what i love about plant & fish hobby, we’re always learning. i didn’t know that about the plants being better at growing when they’re plain green vs any variegated variety. tyfs & good to know. excellent video, newly svbbed! 🐠

Hi..do you need sunlight?
I have a high power LED grow light as I am in my basement stuff like pothos can grow using normal room lights but sun definitely will
Help
Did I see a snail in your 40 gallon jungle tank? Is that possible? Don't they crawl out?

Oh? You speaking about some crazy stuff man I’d love to exchange knowledge
@@rayquatics23 sounds good once I have my lab set up I’ll let ya know cuz I just got out of highschool last year so I’m kinda just on the grind

Hi Ray
Guess who? I’m down the block, wow you’re on UA-cam hurray
Ah! You know where I live!!!

Thank you for the support let’s continue to learn and grow together
Which soil you are using?
A bunch of different ones. Mostly just topsoil some tanks have aqua soil topped with sand and some are just deep sand
“There’s no excuse people, keep your 🪴 “lol
ITS TRUE!
Great job! My 20 gallon long is filter less and only filtered by plants and I’m breeding pencil fish successfully
Love to hear it. Fish love natural aquariums!!! You know they love it because they’re breeding!!
@@rayquatics23 yes! You can see it, I posted a short of it on my channel.
