Captions think that one plant is called “slaughter octopus” and now I want to start a band with that name.

I love the honesty in your videos. I just don't sense any deception, just genuine words. Even your long videos aren't fluff and show, it's all info or goofy yet understandable metaphors. Thank you.

Cory I was really bummed about not being able to grow plants too well. Hearing you talk has really given me a more positive outlook. You are a great face for the hobby. Keep it up!

Love Cory’s videos. After twenty+ years of fishkeeping since starting as a young hobbyist and reading every word of my Golden Guide and the Innes Exotic Fish books multiple times, hearing about the hobby firsthand puts it in a whole new perspective every time I watch a new video. THANK YOU!

Always look forward to your podcasts. I learn something every time. Thank you.

Hey, podcast listener here! I just want to say how much I appreciate having your livestreams available for me to listen to and download. Having interesting, informative content to listen to is amazing and it makes long car trips seem very quick! Last week I was wondering how to treat this algae in my tank and was listening to your podcast where you talked about blue-green algae and how it had a smell. I treated my tank with eryth. and the algae cleared up right away! Thank you!

Corey's got the best analogies 😆 Love to listen to the streams while I do water changes. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for this. Great information.. I'm gathering what I need to set up a planted tank. My first aqurium since leaving the hobby 25 years ago. Purchased a Fluval flex 15.. and plan to order my plants through you. Thanks again. I like all your videos so far.

As a new planted tank keeper this is the most information I have found in one videos even Corey's .

Corey, thanks. I love all the vids you have made. What I like most is that you KIS - you KEEP IT SIMPLE. No high tech very little jargon as I imagine like me and busting aquarium myths. We are hobbyists that just want an easy to manage aquarium. I have watched some strung out, rambling vids with too much high tech scientific jargon. There are plenty of vids that pile on the shit. You give me a bigger shovel to shovel it off faster. Thanks. Oh and also the vids are so entertaining and enjoyable. I watched Joker. Your vids are more entertaining. Even though I am not from US and don't speak US English your accent and most vocabulary and grammar is easy to follow.Thanks again.

You are such a nice man to take time to teach us in such detail, even if your excuse is, "you want to sell lots of stuff". I don't buy it. I think you care that people have success with their aquariums. You are a good down to earth teacher. Thank you.

Hi Cory! I wanted to let you know that I really love the fert, carbon and iron that you sell in pump tops. It so much easier and less messy than the others out there. I have some ideas / suggestions for products that I would be interested in. (1) It would be great if we could order the pump top stuff but without the pump. Now that I have them, it would be less wasteful if I could just order the new bottle without the pump. (2) It would be great to be able to get the carbon without the additive that suppresses algae, but that vals are sensitive to. I have a great algae clean up crew, and would rather use something that wouldn't stress out my vals. (3) This is a little off the wall, but as I was using my new fluval light that is controlled by the app on my phone, I started thinking about how great it would be is someone made a digital thermometer that connected to an app on my phone too. If a heater broke and started cranking out tons of heat, or if it died and the temps dropped, it would be so great if I could get an alarm on my phone. The real reason I thought of this though, was that I'm going to try a "summer tub" for the first time (thanks to Rachel O'Leary's great videos on the topic). I'm going to have a small koi in the tub, and am a little worried about keeping the water temp low enough. I'll keep an eye on it, but an alarm would really come in handy for that. Thanks so much for all of your really great and helpful videos, and those of the other folks at Aquarium Coop. I never had real plants before, and over the last few months I now have only lots of real plants and none of the plastic plants I had before. The idea of keeping an ecosystem instead of fish in a tank was really eye opening and inspiring to me!

So, to your second point, liquid carbon as you're thinking of it (co2) cannot exist within earth's atmosphere. To add to that, any and all organic matter is carbon based, and the point of these "liquid carbons" like Excel isn't to add some sort of miracle replacement for co2 injection, it's specifically for the glutaraldehyde which is an algaecide. It works, but not for the reason you or many others seem to be aware of. It works by killing off the algae before it can take hold or even after. No algae means the plants no longer have to compete against it for the nutrients and the dead algae breaks down and is then consumed by the plants. To the third point, look into heater controllers. Something like an Inkbird. You plug the heater into the temperature controller, which has a thermometer probe that you place in the water, and it turns the heater on and off to attain the temperature you set with the controller. If the heater fails and the temperature rises too high because it broke, the controller will turn off the heater and stop it from boiling all of your fish.

My main problem with plants in sand is that my kuhli loaches can uproot them easily. I’m not comfortable with lead weights in the tank so I’ve been using rocks and wood to hold them down.

Hey Corey! The term used for the branching out of plants is ramification.

One of the most informative video yet. Nice sales pitch. I Will just buy plants with Aqua coop. I tried buce and other dealer but they are kinna flaky

Absolutely wonderful descriptions and information for "newbies" in which I am one. love hearing all of the individual info about each plant. Thanks Cory, appreciate your hard work. You've definitely made me a customer!

I got spoiled when I lived in WA state, I'll be placing an order since I moved.

Only suggestion I have for plant descriptions is kind of a relative idea about how big these plants are, picked up one of those portrait tanks you feAtured the other day, as it’s perfect for my desk at work, but scratching my head figuring out good plants to go in there wondering if some of these will take over the tank

i love the socks you put your plants in that you sell. i bought 5 plants they all came in looking gorgeous. the Shirley temple came in looking the best. and i mean stunning for being in a box for 5 days. so was the dwarf hair grass. he came out stunning to. 10/10 stars bud keep up the good work

He has said that he actually likes the little bladder snails because of their usefulness. So if you have fish waste or plant algae problems, they might be a useful addition because they eat waste and algae. Or if you have a puffer or loach, it's like getting free fish food. lol

Cory, it would be awesome if you would provide mature plant sizes with your descriptions both video and your website

Real good vid.

I have Java fern and another plant bought from a tube at petco..it wasn't marked so I have no clue as to what it is but it is a stemmed plant. It grows straight up and if I clip and replant it, it keeps growing. I have alot of guppies so I don't add anything for the plants but it made me feel good when you said it is more difficult to grow plants in sand..I have very tiny gravel as I have loaches and a few catfish here and there...my plants are doing great and when I started...the substrate stressed me out because I really wanted plants!!

Love the new hat. Maybe it could be like the red shirts and only available at conventions and such when people meet you in person.

Cory: "Big news for Dean's fishroom. He's a dad..." Me: *live action spit-take and nearly death inducing coughing spell*

SO I am the tank that Cory showed when he mentioned the anubis bateri, for some reason I got a ton of snails on an anubis I put in but the Bateri was to the right and was and still is growing awesome. P.S. it flowering thats how awesome it is. I have to admit I was shouting while I watched the live stream "holy crap thats my tank!!!!" That should show you how great my anubis bateri I bought from Aquarium Co-Op is.

My convicts (90 gallon) did well with jungle val. but they insisted on floating the anubius nana, interesting look with the roots trailing down.

I have 2 small tanks that I have been planting after the fact. So, I am a novice at both caring for fish and caring for water plants. I want a carpet. I bought several carpet plants which I plugged into the substrate. The tendency is for these to gradually get uprooted and I gather them from the surface and poke them back in. This is not very successful. I have also tried seeds. This is working better. I grew up some seeds on a paper towel and poked the paper towels into the substrate. This works a little bit better than poking the tiny plants back into the substrate. In desperation, I tried putting seeds directly into the tank. I don't know if this is a great idea particularly as I am concerned the fish will eat the seeds and get sick. Nonetheless, I am now getting hundreds of tiny well rooted plants coming up. Next time, I'm planting the tank first!!!

I bought a few plants from you which I planted last week. They did melt back a bit, but I am getting new leaves and the roots look good. I measured my water parameters and found the water was good on all fronts except hardness. I threw a softing pillow in the filter and it came down. I also have "balls" of the ground cover seedlets all over the place. I have the miscellaneous variety of fish in this tank you would expect from someone who doesn't know what they are doing -- 5 mollies, 6 guppies, a tetra, a gourmani, 2 barbs, and a cori and a tiny pleco that live in a tiny plastic house. I will need another tank when these fish grow bigger. This morning I saw a very small something with black eyes and a little red behind the eye. It was hiding in the shrimp ditch surrounded by rocks and plants and shrimp. It didn't look like a shrimp, but I don't know what baby shrimp look like. I looked for other examples, but no I only find one. Could it be a single baby guppy? I am assuming that what ever it is, it is going to get eaten. I am confident I don't have the skill to pull it out of the tank without causing global havoc.

Corey taking alot of his time to make these live streams and stuff! Awesome topic but I'm going to be that guy and say wowzers, 2 hrs!?! I don't know how I will find time to watch it! I love to see a good 30-20minute video on this topic

Hi Cory, I am new to aquarium plants. I am setting up an aquarium for breeding live bearers and am thinking of putting vallisneria in the tank to act as cover for the fry. I have pea gravel as my substrate at the moment will the vallisneria grow well in this substrate? Is this the best plant for this kind of set up? Thanks for your help. Keep up the amazing work and education.

The 11 dislikes are jealous of Cory's swag.

One of my best planted tanks is with sand. I just can't kill anything in it!

@Aquarium Co-op When you convert the emmersed plants to submerged @ your store, is there a specific water level keep them at to minimize conversion time?

I had three Marimo moss balls in my tank for a long time without any fertilizer/good lighting. Never moved it either. Don’t ask me how but it was thriving.

Can you do a video on how you cut plants and clean your aquariums?

Do InVitro plants go through a change when first planted in a Aquarium that don't so good while they adapt to immerse form? How long does this transition take? Thank You.

What do ypu guys think about Feint Electric plant grow fixtures? The other day I was at homedepot, where I found them, and to my surprise they seem kind of cool, but I am still learning about all this stuf, so I wanted to know your opinion. Thanks 😆

i did plants before i forget what they are called, but like a month they are just like melting or they becoming thin and they are disintegrating and some are like having sticky black tar on it. I do used sand substrate and doing water change like once a week, they are really sticking on the sand no problem but im sure that they will die by a month or two or just look like dirty and if you try to clean it they just broke bec it is so thin.

i got a question for ya i have a planted 28 gallon bowfront with a hang on back filter designed for 30 gallon tanks (i plan on buying those sponges tho the ones for the intake tube and the other for inside the filter from you tho by the way :P) a small bubble curtain and of course a 100 watt heater that being said the plants i have is 2 amazon swords 2 dwarf aquarium lillies (that i just got in the mail from you guys like 2 days ago :P) 2 anubius that are zip tied to suction cups 3 aponogeton "lillies" (tho i have my doubts that they are a lilly plant like the guy at petsmart said they are :P) 8 or 10 stem plants that i forgot the names of but i could point them out if i see a photo of them and 3 crytocoryne undulata reds and the tank is like maybe 2 months old at this point the fish i have are 5 redfin tetras 5 neon tetras 4 cories (1 albino and 3 "green") 5 red platties a sunset dwarf gourami 7 cherry shrimp and a leftover japanese alge shrimp from when i moved the 5 neon tetras 2 of the cories (the albino and the first green) and the shrimp to the new 28 gallon tank so the question is would you consider this tank overstocked and if it is overstocked is there still a chance with what i have right now that the bacteria will eventually populate enough to combat the ammonia in the tank or will i have to do a water change every few days for as long as the fish live and thus i wont be able to use the liquid fertilizer i bought from you guys either if thats the case so basically am i screwed and ammonia will forever be an issue for my tank or will the tank ever hit equilibrium

Of course this is the steam I miss. Doctor appointment. I'll be e-mailing you.... Lol

Hi Corry 1. Can u ship plants and other stuff to South Africa, 2. What is the best fertilizer to use in a tank

the ones you have in stock

On a good day my water hardness is just under 570 ppm. Shrimp and snails seem to like it so there's that

Oh yeah👌👽👌 I found your podcast but KZread is better for this idk

you were sorting plants due to low light , placement and type. you should add temperature requirements .. Discus High 84-86... My tank actually 86-88 . Keeps away all parasites & diseases.

hey! this is off topic of the video... but I have a 75 gallon with a anchor worm problem from one of the wild sun fish I introduced. I believe it's early stages, all the fish in the tank are South American besides the sunfish and advice on how to get rid of it?

Hey Cory what is the best plant for Discus do to the higher temp. 86 degrees

Easy Green was great but I had to switch to seachem because yours had no calcium in it and my plants were deficient in it... I wish you would add calcium as the plants were growing much better with it than flourish otherwise.

Lighting question. My 2 aquariums have fluorescent lighting. Both have "Full Spectrum" bulbs. Is this ok for plants? They do seem very bright.
