Fishy Bits 0 Posted January 2, 2005 how did you get the java fern to stay? i have tried in my cichlid tank. they just rip the ferns off th roots. might seperate the ferns and try and grow in seperate tank... Anyways. looks awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma 0 Posted January 3, 2005 thanks for the comments they (except 1st&2nd) went to LFS and 3 were sold Sarah, i don't think 'grafting' is the correct term. the plants are grown separately and then i pick and attach the best ones for particular spot on driftwood. about the tannin... yes i can live with it now fishybits, i use fishing line and i am glad you can't spot them haven't tried to put those in african cichlids tank and wouldn't do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OziOscar 1 Posted January 3, 2005 Hello! I've done the same thing in my Malawi tank and the fish ignore it, except for the smaller ones using it for a hiding space. And yeah - it's not biotope but it looks OK and doesn't turn into mbuna food. I am not nearly so artistic with my arrangements... and use black cotton so it can rot away eventually when the plant has attached to the wood (tip I picked up from an Amano book). Cheers - OziOscar.
