    Nice video! Ive been thinking this for quite a while now because my Rotala Wallichii have been growing for quite alot in my outside tank because i have nowhere to put it along with some Water Sprites and other plants

    • @GavinKohAquascaping
      @GavinKohAquascaping Před 4 dny

      Wow Wallichii is a hard one to grow. In spite of high lighting and CO2 mine went from red to green lol. Outdoor is definitely key! Good luck with selling your plants!

    Best easiest plant! I love them and have few beautiful ones in my tank.. I disagree with your statement… buce’s can easily survive in colder easy water; I have these and a few prettiest ones and my tank is just a low tech and cold water and they are thriving!

      @@GavinKohAquascaping I am in love with buce’s… anubias a bit less but for pinto and gold which I have in my hanging root garden; created roots myself by glueing pieces for days and then anubias on them but my iwagumi tank is all buce’s … I create aqua Ukiyo-é which is unknown to even Japanese but it is where I get my inspiration for… those traditional Japanese paintings and a holy trinity of nothing more than 3 prominent pieces of whatever you focus on in your design.. go easy, go minimalist and go 3! The buce you found is available at two stores here in Paris (Yes THE one!) and they are lush and full and rather cheap actually and wish you could get them. I know in this online plants in Netherlands you can get them too whenever they have them in stock

    Buce collector here. Hope it survives. I received buces that were 5 weeks in shipping with no water and survived. One fast grower rizome can give you 10-15 other rizomes in a year that you can sell. Where do you get that ROI? My most expensive buce was around $8 and I think I sold around 25 of them and have like 50 more. I just uploaded a video of it. czcams.com/users/shorts5gM39_GLqXE

    I got a variegated anubias nana, but I underestimated how much light a variegated plant needs. It keeps growing new leaves, but my bladder snails eat all of the white parts as soon as it grows. I guess they can tell and determine that it's dead if it's not photosynthesizing. They leave the green alone, so I have the weirdest looking anubias.

    • @GavinKohAquascaping
      @GavinKohAquascaping Před 2 měsíci

    Perfect video! Concise but with all the information we need. And I appreciate the transparency about how much you’ve made over time. $83/month on average may not seem like much to some people, but I think this setup is much more realistic for the average hobbyist than making room for a bunch of 40g breeders and filling them with rare livestock.

As I mentioned in the video, I found an easier way to grow plants through seedling trays; I've bought a ton more since and looking to see if I can make a bit more money with a lot more plants. I'll update you with a video for the new setup and if it is a success or a flop! :P

    If i look on youtube, many aquascape-tubers have more or less the same content in the same time. When i was looking around, i was seeing many video's about the dark start method or the dry start method for a new aquascape. But these video's are all like 3 or 2 years old, and all of those youtubers don't talk about these methods anymore in recent video's. Does that mean that people think otherwise about these methods nowadays? or are they still valid, but since they talked about it allready, they see no need to update it to this year? I am starting a aquascape soon and i was thinking about doing the dry start method, so i can start with less plants and skip the algae phase. What are your thoughts about it?
