12/13/2023 0 Comments Aquarium plants java fern![]() ![]() We are on a farm in a very drought area of Australia and have very little rain water sadly I am forced to use bore water which is a bit salty, at time to shandy it with some rain water for 3rd water changes.Īs stated the water change is not desirable and is not done as often as it should be however the grandchildren love the tank and love to feed the fish which all have names and that have adapted to ours and their circumstances I have and wish low maintenance fish and plants that are very compatible. I wish to put a lot more plants in the replaced large tank and advise is appreciated on which plants to use plus which fish to add with medium size fantails as the children love them. I only have 5 fantail fish left that are around 7cm to 9 cm long from old tank. I added Java fern to a terracotta ornamental pot recently with a hole straight thru and it appears to be growing new leaves and roots. To assist with air flow for 6 fantail fish left I only had 2 air stones and a small fountain immersible pump in emergency tank and the fern is thriving and the fish have grown. ![]() Recently I had to do an emergency full empty of tank to move it to enable repair to house and floor after a cyclone, so I shifted fish and Java plant that was left into a very small tank and took all stones and gravel out and put stones in sun for weeks to kill any elegy. I have now attached some Java fern to terracotta pots and some driftwood and each year the same thing happens. I was burying the young sprouts that break off and float, which I planted into the gravel and then after reading items on this sight realize that is a problem. Java fern appears to die each year as leaves go black and appear black and hairy, then it suddenly re-grows without treatment. I have had Java Plant in a large 4ft long by 18 inches deep tank for 10 years and various other plants that fish eat off and die. Where should I put Java fern in my aquarium?. ![]()
