I'm a girl.
Ok, I have very nosey fish and they always uproot plants all around the tank when I don't want them to. I want to have the wonderful planted look (especially giant vallis!) without them always getting uprooted and floating around.
I have come up with an idea that I thought I would pass by you all and see what you think...
I was thinking of putting the plant and it's roots inside a mesh bag that contains eco-complete or other plant substrate, along with a root tab. Then, the mesh bag will be placed in a Gladware mini container (4 oz), that I have punched holes into for root system and shooters, and planted into the substrate.
What do you think? I was thinking it will be a neat idea to try with my larger fish, since they won't be able to move around the heavy container and it will also supplement the plants for optimal growth.
Just an idea, but one I thought I would try out. Anyone else have any experience with attempting to keep plants in the sand with large, robust fish?
Quick edit here: I've always wanted vallis in my tank, but I figured I couldn't have it because of my fish. This tank has given me hope and inspiration.
