Vallisneria Gigantea

[rubyduby]

I bought some Vallisneria Gigantea from PlayItKoi.com and my fish LOVE it...All of my adult fish hide in it when they don't feel like socializing....I have many different grasses (sagittaria subulata, vallisneria americana, ect..) but they always congregate in the vallisneria gigantea...Just thought I would pass it on

Too cold for any of those plants here unfortunately. I used to have them in my aquarium and all nice plants

yep; same here; not a ton of UW choices for me but not a huge issue. Be nice to have some variety 'down there' but I'd still have to watch and limit the growth as I know UW plants take IN O2 at night.

I did not realize this…I will definitely keep my eye on growth!

Well that’s how little I still know j.w…I thought since the uw grasses were down low they would be okay in all ponds….

@rubyduby Only ones I can grow are Anacharis and Hornwort but Hornwort doesn't like me anymore for some reason

funny you should say that...Hornwort doesn't like me either ...turns pale and I pull it and chuck it..No more left..It was hiding a lot of fry and I don't need any more babies anyway! Want to hear something really weird? My side is bothering me (the side that I have a kidney stone on) We definitely are kindred spirits!

Wow we definitely have something going on between us don't we? Hornwort and Kidney Stones!
Hope you don't have to have surgery to get that big thing outta you.
The first time I had one I was doubled over w/pain for many hours before my hubby took me to the emergency room. I didn't know what it was then. They took xrays and found out what it was and gave me meds and strong pain pills and I was in la la land for the rest of the day and think I passed it the next day. Man that time was horrid. Since then they have been painful but not as bad. Then went for years w/o one and now whamo back again. Ugh!
Right now no pain. Hope yours goes away or breaks up and gets outta you!

yeppa; I tend to advise keeping the UW plant herd to 1/3 the pond bottom.

Look you two; there's a CAstle edict in effect; NO KIDNEY STONE talk, capiche? (says the one who has had 3 episodes and from them, birthed 4 cute lil stones that had me whimpering and curled in the fetal position!!)

So, ye all been warned!!

I'm at peace now w/the stone! If it comes for me again I will drag out that big old sceptor @brokensword keeps yapping about.
Might just turn him into a turtle while I'm at it if he's not careful and he can add himself to his pond collection
