http://dustinsfishtanks.com/aquarium-product/dustins-fishtank-hoodies/ Hope you like the new Hoodies I'm rocking for the Aquatic Experience in two weeks Appreciate the support.. Quick note: before we dive into this Species sunday.... I've been throwing around the idea of a podcast. I'm actually a pretty lonely Mofo- and would love the interaction with guests...but if you are going to do anything. you gotta do it right. I'm debating a "Fish Tank People" Podcast. but I need a 100 guests. Yup- I've got a nice list rolling on the Dustin's fishtanks FB fan page but I'd love to know your thoughts on this.. I know john at KG Tropicals having a good time with his. Mine would be shorter 15 minute interviews with FISHTANK PEOPLE- Love to know your thoughts. So today I wanna talk about Carpeting plants- Forgound plants. Everyone tells me that they want a carpet- so here are my personal Top 3 Carpet plants 1. Dwarf Sag- Look- not exactly a "Carpet" in my opinon but rather a lawn. Look the plant just Grow like a Mofo. Especially in dirt or a good substrate... You can see a whole Species Sunday from back in the day on it here 2. Baby Tears- I'm talk about regular baby tears here- Not Dwarf baby tears... You can see a video Here where Its completely over growing 3. Staurogyne Repens. Look- sturdy, rough rugged and raw little plant- believe its related to hygrophille which I talk about last week. Here is a picture of Tom Barr's sicks ass Staruo tank... --- A couple of things worth noting- I don't like dwarf hair grass, I don't like dwarf baby tears and I'm not a fan of Glossostigma- WITH OUT CO2. Here's the deal and just a generalization for you all. Most foregound plants are HIGH LIGHT- HIGH CO2- Why? Because they grow at the waters edge, barely below the surface- with INSANE SUNLIGHT- AND, no only that- part of them might be stick up out of the water- where CO2 is like 10,000 times more available helping this plant grow like crazy- Which means to replicate those kinda condition you need high light and CO2 in your tank. So those are my foreground plants- If you like what I am doing SUBSCRIBE- Don't forget about the Aquatic Experiance coming up Nov 7th -9th in Shaumber IL Let me know about your favorite foregound plant and why- and your thoughts on me doing a podcast- Make it an awesomme week and tank on!
