DIY Planted Malaysian Driftwood


GotCrabs

Recommended Posts

Well I decided to add some pieces of plant to a couple of Malaysian Driftwood pieces I had, so while I was pulling this and that out of the tank to sell off or use elsewhere I kept some small pieces of plant and added them to the Malaysian Driftwood.

I'm happy with the end result, didn't want to go overboard on them so just small pieces here and there, these two pieces will be used in my next rescape, when ever that happens, but for now are sitting in a small tank with my Common Bristlenose.

Plants added were Anubias nana, Needle Leaf Java Fern, Thor's Hammer Java Fern, Bolbitis Heudelotii, Crested Java Fern, was going to add some Christmas Moss but think it'll get out of control though eventually.

So here it is, the end product, once again taken with an iPhone 5s and it's crap camera.

looks nice, gonna need alot of trimming when those plants take off though epecially with the bolbitus in the centre you may find it will spread into your anubias

That's OK, I've found Bolbitis to be about the same growth rate as Anubias/Java Fern, all good, all a part of my 'Master Plan', haha.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
