guppy grass

Member Posts: 42 Age: 22 Location: Olympia, WA

so I have a whole bunch of this stuff, and I mean a whooooole bunch! is there any way to place it into an aquascape or am I pretty much left with the option of it floating around and clogging my filter? I have seen it turn in to nice dense "bushes" in other tanks and I'm just wondering how I can get the same effect. thanks!

It can be planted, or you can tie it to driftwood or rocks. If you have real long stems you can cut them down and plant or tie them something in bundles. They look really good that way to. Goodluck, Ed.

with 1nevrkwitz. you can also use plant weights once the plant bunch gets thicker.

I find fishing line works really well to hold plants down to rocks and things.

great! thanks everyone! yeah I have so much its not even funny! I'll post pics when I get it all figured out. tying it into clumps and trying to plant it seem like the way I'll go!
