Quick note: before we dive into this Species sunday.... I've been throwing around the idea of a podcast. I'm actually a pretty lonely Mofo- and would love the interaction with guests...but if you are going to do anything. you gotta do it right. I'm debating a "Fish Tank People" Podcast. but I need a 100 guests. Yup- I've got a nice list rolling on the Dustin's fishtanks FB fan page but I'd love to know your thoughts on this.. I know john at KG Tropicals having a good time with his. Mine would be shorter 15 minute interviews with FISHTANK PEOPLE- Love to know your thoughts. So today I wanna talk about Carpeting plants- Forgound plants. Everyone tells me that they want a carpet- so here are my personal Top 3 Carpet plants 1. Dwarf Sag- Look- not exactly a "Carpet" in my opinon but rather a lawn. Look the plant just Grow like a Mofo. Especially in dirt or a good substrate... You can see a whole Species Sunday from back in the day on it here 2. Baby Tears- I'm talk about regular baby tears here- Not Dwarf baby tears... You can see a video Here where Its completely over growing 3. Staurogyne Repens. Look- sturdy, rough rugged and raw little plant- believe its related to hygrophille which I talk about last week. Here is a picture of Tom Barr's sicks ass Staruo tank... --- A couple of things worth noting- I don't like dwarf hair grass, I don't like dwarf baby tears and I'm not a fan of Glossostigma- WITH OUT CO2. Here's the deal and just a generalization for you all. Most foregound plants are HIGH LIGHT- HIGH CO2- Why? Because they grow at the waters edge, barely below the surface- with INSANE SUNLIGHT- AND, no only that- part of them might be stick up out of the water- where CO2 is like 10,000 times more available helping this plant grow like crazy- Which means to replicate those kinda condition you need high light and CO2 in your tank. So those are my foreground plants- If you like what I am doing SUBSCRIBE- Don't forget about the Aquatic Experiance coming up Nov 7th -9th in Shaumber IL Let me know about your favorite foregound plant and why- and your thoughts on me doing a podcast- Make it an awesomme week and tank on! Welcome to Dustin's Fish Tanks YouTube Channel. My channel is made for FISH TANK PEOPLE! I try to focus on Planted Aquariums, how to grow aquarium plants, dirt as the planted tank substrate and low light aquarium plants. Planted Tanks shouldn't be difficult.

What do think about monte Carlos?

I had 5 dwarf sag for a couple months and they barely started spreading runners but then died.
-
my dwarf sag doesn't spread at all, why?
-
I recently planted some S. Repens I got from Petsmart(yes I know..)..
Having a hell of a time keeping them in the substrate(CaribSea Sand, black tahitian moon), with root tabs.
Also, I'm getting a browing over them, but I'm seeing new growth..
Any thoughts on why the browning is occurring and how to keep them in the damn substrate?
(I run a 30in finnex fugeray planted plus) 29gallon (18in tall) -

How many inches of substrate did you put in your aquarium? Mine keeps floating off or gets tangled with other plants.
