I live in West Tennessee, he delivers to anywhere in continental U.S., $4.99 for less than $70, free over that.
I like the sudden abrupt endings. It's like an aquatium coop cliff hanger
Anubias is always hit or miss for me. I have 4 of them in the same tank. 2 doing well, 2 have become food for my trumpet snail farm.

Aquarium Co-Op ~ What a generous deal! 30% off plants!
Dude, I love your stories and advices. I'm just planning to start up a Juwel Rio180 tank. The last aquarium I had was about 45 years ago, still have that 60cm aquarium but it's been empty for over 35 years. So renewing my old hobby. Taking in much of your advice here!
Thanks Cory , just what I needed to know as I'm setting my 50 gallon tank.
Good call on the lily plant. One of the few plants with a nice reddish color that don't require CO2 and/or very bright lighting to survive.
i can't like this enough. I have been doing tons of research on aquarium plants preparing myself for my very first "live plant" tank. This helped a ton. Thanks!!
Thanks for another great video! I am planning to start up my first ever planted tank this summer. Keep em coming :)
Great video Cory! Thank You
thank you so much for this!
so so so helpful! love your videos!
Super helpful ty!
Great video Cory
Nice list.
My ludwigia repens grows no matter what! Definitely recommend 👌
I think Cryptocorynes are the easiest plants. Even when every other plant has problemes, they will always grow. In my tank I have low light (one t 8), no CO2, only gravel and no fertilizer but it still grows and looks good. A few weeks ago I started to add some iron but only because the hygrophila polysperma had white leaves.
Great channel by the way
I have an aquarium lily in my 29g community and it's insane how fast the thing puts out new lily pads. 1-2 new fully formed pads a week, I have to trim it back constantly to let the light get to my hygrophila.
I'm living in Taiwan but I'm going to be keeping a lookout for these plants and they're going to be going in my tanks I have four. I've been watching your channel for a long time and if I could get your products I would but I wish I could just do a KZread video about my experience in the hobby for the last 3 years
Awesome video.
My dwarf goramis love my lilies and so do I. I've found the guys to be a bit slow when it comes to feeding time and when the pads are dense enough you can leave little pieces of food right in the spaces between pads that don't get noticed right away by the greedier fish I have in my tank like my black skirts and red minors. They are dead easy to grow, though if you take them from bulbs you have to be patient. They take a long time to start up.
Cool plants :)
Great video Cory! Coffeefolia is my favorite. How about Valisneria though?

My dwarf lily is AMAZING. I got it in January and it has only lost three leaves. It gets one leaf a week (sometimes even *more* ). No lily pads yet, although I hope I'll get some soon!
I was looking for anubias on Amazon but couldn't find any that didn't have a crazy shipping price, so I settled for giant hair grass, I'm sure my shrimp will love it

Hey, can you please do a video on dwarf puffer care and their tankmates please. Thank you 😊
I've got an Anubias that's doing really well (do they flower? because there's some new growth that kinda looks like a bud) and some java fern that's growing a little *too* well. I'm hoping the dwarf lily I got will one day have flowers. I have some ludwigia that gets some nice red in it too. I tried some monte carlo but couldn't get it to carpet but I have a little patch of flame moss isn't too bad. I used to have some anacharis that was pretty nice too.
Hey Cory, thanks for all the content and education you're constantly providing! Also thanks for the pen and stickers you included in my pre-filter kit, its a nice personal touch and is one of the many reasons why I'd rather order from you than Amazon! :D I'm curious about the banana plants, everything I've read makes them seem pretty easy, is there a nuance to them that excluded them from this video? And also what should i be looking (or not looking) at considering i just have a pool sand substrate? Thanks again!

+Alex Lancaster most people can't plant them correctly
Would probably add Hornwort. Swordplants (although they do need some decent lighting), and Java Moss to this.
Hey Cory what is that large leafed plant in the background aquarium
anyone know why would some plants grow longer leaves than they should? i had a few plants do that, when i get them inside my tank they dont continue to grow as they did until i got them. Like diff types of Echinodorus plants, when i buy them they have nice oval shaped leaves, but those that form later look like they got stretched..
Would the Madagascan Lace work in a 15 lt tank, I have seen conflicting sizes of this plant online. ( wall mounted tank, 34cm/ 34cm/ 9cm)
How do I know what side is up and which is down? I only have Bulb at the moment. Thanks great video!!
nice
I could never keep java fern alive, but my anubias nana and nana Pettit is doing great.

Bucephalandra? Quite more expensive, but it seems to grow sligthly faster than anubias and definitely faster than microsorium in low light. And it's just beautiful.

Anubius, Amazon swords, java ferns (the smaller kind), java moss, or java moss. Best of luck!!
I have a 50 gallon goldfish tank with cool water 62 degrees. My Java fern leaves are all turning black. LED spectrum light providing 9-10 hours daily light. Also my 2 week old Anubias is starting to get fuzzy leaves. I’m a beginner. Any suggestions would be appreciated
How much is the Madagascar lace plant? Thanks
My top 5 easy to grow. Java moss ( if not thriving move closer to light) Hornwort (floated) Duckweed, Guppy Grass, Amazon Swords. Happy fish keeping out there. Peace

Easy plants for high light? Since LED's have taken over. My first tank since I was in high school came with lights as bright as the sun and it melts all plants I have put in it...
Hey Cory! You've recently helped me pick out some fish to go with my male Betta in a 5 gallon and I'd like your input on another matter! Tomorrow I'm going to be adding some fish to my 13 gallon. I already have 3 BS tetras, one Danio (left from the ich attack. Doing fine), and one red finned shark. Any other recommendations?

My java ferns always die in 3 months or so. I can keep anubias, java moss, amazon swords, water sprite and water wisteria alive, but my java fern always turns blackish brown, gets pinholes and melts away in months. I'm aware pinholes usually mean nitrogen and pottassium deficiencies buuttt..... I dose NPK + micro trace elements from seachem products every week and have moderate (2watt/gal t5 lighting) and use excel for carbon. Could it be my tank is too warm (tropical climate with 29C/84F temp)? maybe its the supplier? Any insight is appreciated!:)
@AquariumCoop
7 жыл бұрын
I'd say temp is a bit high, have you tried something like Easy Green or Tropica's all in one fertilizer etc? In my experience most people don't dose nutrients correctly when figuring out their own ratios. Also you could have other plants just straight up out competing the java fern.

Aquarium Co-Op ok thanks Cory! I live in Singapore so I have to get a third part company to ship the easy green to me (which you should totally recommend as a method to those who want to buy your stuff from overseas) and it will arrive in a month or so I use the ratios given on the Thrive all in one fert and mix my seachem ferts that way. i should try a fan to keep temps down. its frutrating living in this heat with this hobby. whats worse is that the humidity is high too, so when I use my onlh chiller on my goldifsh tank, I get a lot of condensation on the surface, which makes it very hard to see.

Great video as usual mate (new subscriber here) But just curious what you guys think about - Giant Cardamine - Its often sold here in Australia as a Temp display plant but mine always grew like mad and covers the top of the water and grows out the tank down to the floor or up the walls if you let it.

Someone please help me. I have trouble with easy plants like anubias and java fern. Java fern always melts in my tank. Anubias vanishes slowly. And by the way, micranthemum micranthemoides which is characterized as being a hard plant by www.tropica.com conquered my tank. Can someone please give me a clue why that happens? My lighting is 2x200 w flood LED LIGHT. Total 400 watt can be the reason of melting of java fern and anubias?

You said "aponogeton Crispus" is a bulb and also have it listed as a bulb on your site. It's actually a rhizomous/tuberous plant. Some proofs of that is that everything in the Aponogetonaceae family are all rhizomous/tuberous, and no bulbs are in the family. Also the propagation of it is done by division, like you would with any other rhizomous/tuberous plant.
Cory what do you think of Wisteria in aquariums?

Don't forget the floaters! Duckweed, Frogbit, Dwarf Water Lettuce, etc. They're all extremely easy to grow. I used to have to throw away half a bucket full every couple to three weeks with my old 10g and nano tanks. Duckweed is almost impossible to get rid of so consider yourself warned.
Can I use gravel for these plants
Wow the prices of these plants in the US. Jesus!
Can the plants stay in there pot or I would need to dig a hole in the gravel
Does aponogeton crispus go into a dormant period and if it does what do I do? Also do I have to plant the Bulb halfway in the substrate or is it okay to leave it floating in the tank water/just on top of the substrate
