Love the set up

I.R. Serviano - 7 years ago

Hi, how did u plant the anubias inside the pot? Is it tied to a drift wood or just and organic soil with the rhizome exposed just above the substrate? Thanx a lot.. love your work!

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

Yes, miracle gro organic potting soil works great. the organic brand ensures there are no added chemicals that might hurt fish.

I.R. Serviano - 7 years ago

Thanx a lot.. just natural garden soil boss? Luv ur work so mch.. really apreci8 it. .

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

Hi I.R., I just hold the anubias while I fill the pot with the soil to make sure the roots are covered, but the rhizome is exposed. Thanks!

Do you supplement with ferts, and if so what and what is the schedule? Great channel

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

Hi Josue,
In the large 240 gallon, I don't put any supplements yet. I started with organic soil in the substrate with osmocote fertilizer (http://amzn.to/2oox5L1). This substrate should last at least a year based on previous experience...after that, I would probably need to dose iron and potassium.
In the small 40 gallon emersed tank, I also have organic soil with osmocote...I also have red worms and snails that breakdown the organic matter and convert it into nutrients for the plants.
Thanks for tuning in!

Great stuff. Good luck with your new discus fry. Looking forward to video featuring those guys.

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

Thanks Duane! I hope to finally have success with the fry being raised by the parents!

As usual, a very informative video. Thank you so much for sharing.I always wondered what the difference between emersed and immersed plants, and then there are bog / pond side plants that allow their roots to be 100% below water but would not survive a total immersion. I am amazed by how many plants you have in your emersed project and I am also so impressed by how many types of anubius you are successfully transitioning. I think your fish room is the best I have seen! Thanks Again

Cindy, I don't have a facebook forum, but maybe in the future. With anubias, I've read in a forum (linked below) that for pollination to happen, the flowers have to be above the water and the two flowers have to be from unrelated plants, i.e. self- pollination doesn't work. I will definitely document any progress I make and put a video together to share. Thanks!

Do you have a facebook or forum that you post on... I also love Anubias and their little 'lily' like flowers, sometimes I have 3-4 flowers at a time. I would also love to learn more about the plan. I wonder if they are related to lilies in some way?

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

Thank you, Cindy! I love anubias, they have so much to offer. I eventually want to get into pollinating anubias as a means to propagate them...it's yet another aspect of the planted tank hobby that is not talked about much.

I love your setup. What lights do you use?

M. Peters - 7 years ago

Thanks.

I need to get started !!!lol

Neat rain drip system! I am slowly but surely learning about discus fish and their habitats and whatnot and I love a lot of your setups. I hope to get some discus in the coming months! Thanks for the info :)

PlantedDiscusFishTank - 7 years ago

That's great! Discus are beautiful fish and can be addicting...once you get a few, you will want more until you get all the color strains! :)
