Great tips! Frogbit is one of the my favorites!
Frogbit never fails you haha
Agree with all of this except for one thing: I love the long roots and believe they add lush beauty to the scape.
Great video! I love how politely you ask us to please return plants to water and face them the right way up.
I'm new to aquarium plants and recently got frogbit for my betta. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome ✅
Great video! I really like red root floaters the best; although they can grow out of hand in a hurry. Started with two plants and now it's covering a 30 and 10 gal aquarium in a few months time.
I think Phyllanthus Fluitans (red root floaters) are better than frog bit, as it is smaller in size and adds a wonderful touch of red to the lights that's diffused into the aquarium. You're right, super easy to grow too! 😅
Thank you so much for the tips.
Im planning to buy frogbit online but damn I didn't realize they need that must attention!!.
You are welcome, Sofea. I hope this channel helps you ^^
I like the long roots. It gives it a natural look.
It probably gives algae blooms, but from what I have heard algae blooms can be stopped by lowering the lights, putting fewer nutrients in the tank or buying some plecos
Do not buy plecos 😂
@@BigBoy-gj5mc I know they get big but why not buy em. Do they get violent?
@@EuroGupper they will only eat algae if there is no more food. And usually will stick to fish food
@@BigBoy-gj5mc so why did you say don't buy plecos? 🤷🏾♂️🤔
@@EuroGupper there's better options than plecos like Amano shrimp
Is it recommended to cut the excess root length . I have frog it in my outdoor tub, growing very healthy. Does cutting roots increase its propagation
From my experience, trimming any plant of anything excess like trimming roots promotes propagation :)
Just got frogbit for a horticulture project I'm working on.
Frogbit is amazing for Horticulturists as it's beneficial to fauna, depending on what you are trying to achieve, you don't even need to trim the roots. Good luck with your project 🌿🌱
@@NORIaquaCh Want to grow the carnivorous water wheel plant and algae will over take these small carnivorous.
They will take care of mosquito larvae that's for sure 😅
Saya dari Indonesia,di sawah miliknsaya banyak sekali dijumpai tanaman air ini menjadi gulma, frogbit ditempat saya dijadikan makanan ikan gurami dan unggas....apakah mengetahui berapa kandungan gizi, protein,serat,kalori dlm tanaman frogbit.
Frogbit dan duckweed sangat bergizi untuk ternak dan ikan besar lainnya. Saya tidak yakin apa saja komponen nutrisinya tapi yang saya tahu sangat baik untuk ikan dan ternak seperti ayam dan bebek.
Where are the bubbles coming from in the final shot?
The bubbles are from the CO2 diffuser :)
please tell me how strong of a water flow is too strong for amazon frogbit?
If the current of your outflow is moving your frogbit to the extent that the leaves dip under water, than it is too strong.
I havent but the frogbit yet, my filter had the rain output extension but I threw it away because people kept saying I needed more surface agitation for oxygen. can I upload a short then tag you in the comments and you judge it for me? @@NORIaquaCh
@@craftwanderer8802 If you haven’t yet, you can look into a bubbler for more surface tension
Why won't my frogbit leaves lay flat. They always droop in to the water and die. This is my 2nd attempt and it's the same thing. There's very little water movement and they're even in a corral. They just won't lay flat
That's a common occurrence of frogbit. You can cut off the affected leaves that a curling into the water and it will reproduce. Make sure you cut off any wilting leaves, they often wilt when the parent frogbit has successfully produced a child frogbit.
@NORI aqua ok will do...thanks. I soooo want this to thrive. I'm going to use flourish once a week after water changes. I also bought APT Zero fertilizer. Do you have a preference between those two?
@@FishRfun Make sure you don't get anything on top of the leaves of the frogbit, it else it will wilt and die. This includes ferts as it will burn and wilt the leaves. Despite what people say about frogbit being easy to care for, it isn't in the long term. Most people just keep the child plants and throw away the wilting parent plants without knowing why wilting has happened. I have found 24hr Aquarist's products to be very well formulated, so I would personally go for APT given you follow the directions. ☺️
This is like an 8 am Japanese TV show
I think the most important thing that people tend to ignore is AFB prefers still water. Let me rephrase it - Dead still water! No bubbler - no filter - no excuse of surface obstacles to get away with bubblers. You can plant your tank heavily with the least expensive plants and supply diy passive CO2 using the bell method. Your plants will produce more than enough oxygen your fish needs to thrive and survive through night/dark hours. Also of course you need to have a thick substrate at least 3 inches deep rich in nutrients and plenty of light. I am a big believer of Walstad method and fatherfish. I never buy anything expensive for my aquariums.
And i do low matanince with a sponge filter my frogbit is thriving and aquarium co op sponge filter is far better option as the bubbles do get the leaves wet they tend to dry off easily but thats due to using a bubble stone or a pad version i use from their website lol
