les Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 @ MTS That pic was taken in the middle of winter and I had a small dodgie heater that I put in ther its not on now couse it makes em breed to fast I am taking afew (about fifty) to the LFS next wednesday my mate said he would take the execess of my hands. I like the way they keep the algie down on the Java fern and it helps with the Anubias as well. @ Busman Paul Yes the wife and I often have that conversation as Bribane was my last postting Mechanised Infantry but my first was Oakey with Aviation (Blackhawkes) and we did consider retiering there and even looked at blocks of land up near pine rivers but My Mum and Dad are getting realy old now and its only me that lives close enough to help out but Ill be over for the show (I cant waight) and even if I dont have eny thing worth showing I am still comming Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I sware its the Banana that dose it, the effect of the tea dont take long to be seen I did stop using it on the other fish for a while but kept it up on the VT girls and lots of water changes and my god they are huge when I get more giants I will try it on them as I do think it helps with the growth rate they are much biger than a male that was bought at the same time and had the same amount of water changes and food but no Banana tea but thats for another thread LOL Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Is that pelia or subwassertang in the first picture? Sorry to go off topic but did you just use normal banana leaves? I'm going to plant some lady fingers so that could be my third use for them (permaculture thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch33 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 My guess subwassertang Les you appear to have your java planted in the substrate you need to make sure the rhizones are above the gravell or it will die, better with it atached to a piece of wood or a rock Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yep, your right, it is subwassertang, couldn't see it as well on the ipod, my screen is smashed :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Sorry got busy I have niece and nephew living across the road now so its gotten a bit hectic till they are trained a bit Yes to subwassatang it grows like a weed No to the Java fern it is conected to cotton and the cotton is conected to a stick under the gravel If I took a picture now you would see that some roots have made it to the gravel and have ancord it but the rizome is well above its just my crapy pics that dont show things quite that well Cheers Les PS Ray I am sorting the gingers this week OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
