trimming plants
Hi all,
I've got a couple plants that have already grown out of the water--tall
ways!! They have only been planted for 14 days!! One is an amazon
sword, not sure of the other. My question is how do I trim the plants?
Do I just snap of the protruding part or can I cut it off at the bottom
of the stem and then stick the stem elsewhere in the tank and expect it
to grow? I have a 120g tank, layer of duplarit G and a 400W MH light.
BTW, I bought a GIANT pleco to eat the algae that is just starting. He
is about 1/2 lb of fish, maybe 15 inches long. The LFS has had him for
about 2 weeks and I've been looking at him--they said he came out of a
100g tank and they stuck him in a 20g--he has looked sooo sad and they
cut his price in half, so I took him. He knocked a few plants out, but
not bad--that was my main concern w/him. I will have to watch that he
doesn't eat the plants w/the algae--he has a huge mouth!!
