Planted Aquarium - /r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

/r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

Posted: 14 Aug 2020 03:04 PM PDT

The Purpose:

We all perform tank maintenance. Sometimes, perfectly good plants end up in the trash because they simply outgrow their limited environment. Why not share these plants with another hobbyist? This monthly thread offers a space where buyers and traders can congregate, promote biodiversity, and make the world better.

Offering other aquarium-related items for sale or trade is also acceptable, but keep in mind this is a "Random Acts of Kindness" thread. All equipment and plant-life should be offered in either trade or for as cheap as is possible.

If you'd like to offer your homemade ferts, foods, or other equipment for retail sale, please visit the plantedtank.net's forums. Posting retail items for sale is not appropriate in this thread and those comments will be removed with a polite warning.

The Rules:

1. If you would like to post a "WTB" (want to buy) or ISO (in search of), you must also offer items for RAOK or trade in the same comment. "WTB/ISO" posts that do not offer anything in return will be removed to keep this thread in line with its intended purpose.

  1. Sellers: prices are encouraged to be as low as possible. These are plants you were willing to throw out, after all. Making a profit is not what this thread is about, and posts selling items will be removed. For clarification, "selling" is defined as asking for monetary compensation above and beyond the cost of shipping and packaging.

  2. Buyers: you will be responsible in covering the cost of shipping, at least. If a buyer is happy with the sale, please consider offering the seller more for their time spent packing and shipping.

  3. Please use a third-party payment organization like Paypal to conduct transactions if it can't be done in person. This ensures the security of the buyer.

  4. Always be wary of online scams. /r/PlantedTank, the mods, and Reddit hold no responsibility for your private transactions. You are liable. By participating in this thread, you agree to this.

  5. The transaction details should be conducted via PM as reasonably as possible. DO NOT POST ANY PERSONAL INFO. Posting even your own personal info will result in a warning, and then a ban.

  6. Sellers are welcome to use creativity and fun when offering their stuff. Pick a number, favourite colour, most unusual story, etc.

  7. Don't forget about /r/AquaSwap! Feel free to cross post between their sub and ours to maximize your advertising power.

Buyer/Seller Feedback:

Did you have a remarkable experience with a seller or a buyer? Please message the mods and let us know, whether your feedback be good or bad.

Shipping Instructions:

  • Please review this thread for some insight on how to properly ship plants.

Help me with my first tank!

Once upon a time all this frogbit and red root was IN this circle I made. Guess it had other plans.

Might be a stupid question, but how do “sensitive” plants that generally require CO2 grow in the wild?

Posted: 14 Aug 2020 10:31 PM PDT

Might just be a Friday night thought, but I've been wondering this.

The answer is probably obvious and I'm just not thinking right, but would love to hear input!

Why are my pest snails dying?

Posted: 14 Aug 2020 10:13 PM PDT

I introduced a couple of tiny pest snails in my second tank and i keep waking up to see empty white shells. My tank parameters are normal. Stocked with cherry shrimp, a wild betta mahachai, and a nerite snail. My original thought was that the betta was killing them but he never attacks the nerite or the cherries. Or do nerites eat smaller snails? Ive never seen this before and im super curious. Any information would be appreciated
