Mustard growing in Aquarium
I left my substrate, Flourish, in a bucket in the back yard last summer, as
I wasn't able to have a tank setup because I was moving. When I set the
tank up again I just left if for a while with the substrate and no fish or
pants in it. I was surprised to see plants coming up and assumed they had
survived from some previous setup that was in place some months ago. I
couldn't recognize them at first as anything I'd had then realized I had
seen that leaf as a weed in the garden. It took some time but eventually
recognized it as wild mustard. I have even tasted some and it has the
signature mustard taste. It is growing really well and some of the plants
even have a nice compact habit. It has been growing submersed at least four
months and some it has even flowered. I do have some photos of it if anyone
is interested.
With 2.something watts of CF lighting CO2 injection it even bubbles
strongly. I think it is an excellent addition to the tank!
