I am setting up a community tank, and have most of the plants figured out, but I want the angels to lay their eggs on plants, but what type of plant would be good? I know some suggest amazon sword but they get massive, so I want something big enough for them, but not something that will take over the entire aquarium.

Thanks.

Anubia has nice broad leaves. Picture: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=anubia&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=E4KIStXiJo7gNeWeiNsE&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1

Cryptocoryne also have broad leaves. Picture: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&sa=1&q=cryptocoryne&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10&start=0

Hygrophila corymbosa is another broad leaf. Pictures: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&sa=1&q=Hygrophila+corymbosa&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&start=0

I’ve purchased plants from http://liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=768 before and they are a reliable seller. Your local pet store might also carry those plants because anubias and crypts are quite common.
I recommend that you test the water parameters (pH, salinity) before buying a plant and pick one that matches the parameters already established in your tank.

If you’re really sincere about breeding your angels then you should add a piece of slate or plastic into the tank so it and the eggs can be easily moved to a growout tank. Here is some more info: http://www.breedingangelfish.info/angelfish-breeding.cfm

Planting gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, like I’m helping one of God’s creatures along the path of life. Do you have a green thumb? I love gardening, don’t you? Can you give me some plant tips?
Oooooh, crocuses are pretty, I like tulips, too! heard they were easy to grow, True?

My first memories are of grandmother working next door in her garden. She would literally cultivate rows of flowers…..from seeds, bulbs, anything that she could cut. I got to help her as all grandchildren did. When I ws nine, she told me I was old enough to cut the flowers for church……I was thrilled….then when I ws 11, I started getting to cut and arrange. My favorite things about gardening is to propagate plants…….anything I can get my hands on from seeds, soft cuttings, hardwood cuttings, etc.

I really dont know anything about gardening. But I would like to know what flowers are both pretty and smell good, how to properly weed, how to keep bugs off, and diffrent flowers.

Deciding on what type of flowers to grow depends on a few things, such as what type of climate you live in, how much maintenance you are willing to do in your garden (i.e. roses vs something easier), and also if you would prefer to establish a perennial garden (flowers that return every year) or change from year to year with annuals.
The best way to start is to find a good nursery in your area and establish a relationship with them. A small mom and pop place that also offers gardening classes would be best.
You should also consult your local agricultural extension service, often associated with a university with an agri. program. They will have master gardeners who are very knowledgeable about what grows best in your part of the country.
Also helpful is to get to know your neighbors who are good gardeners and ask them questions.
Good luck and don’t be afraid to experiment, it sometimes takes a while to establish the kind of garden you want.

Right now all I have are fake plants and I want to switch to live ones. What types of plants can I use and what exactly would I need to have to keep them, lighting and all.

You wanna get soil from the pet store. I have exo terra plantation soil, which is good. Don’t use soil from outside.

I have all live plants in my tank. Any type of tropical looking plant is good, avoid something that has sharp thorns on it. Anything that looks like it could go in a jungle is fine. You don’t really have to worry about him breaking the plants, as long as theres room on ground for your dragon to walk and move around. taller plants are better. the plants need to have lots of water. You don’t need to fertalise them and the light that is given off by your heat lamps and uvb lamps are good enough to keep the plant alive, thats what i have. As long as the soil is ALWAYS damp/wet the plants wont start to die. If you don’t keep lots of water it will start to die.

I would like to take jobs as a gardening or landscaping consultant, working with homeowners as clients. I do not want to take measurements/draw landscape plans. That takes too much time outside of the meeting/appointment. I feel many people just want to pick my brain and ask questions anyway. But I feel I need to leave them with something, written notes, a list of plants, etc. I want them to feel they got their money’s worth. What would comprise a good product? I’d like to make up a form or sheet to use.

Garden Consultant eh?

I’ve done it before… but you’d better be well versed in all manner of garden products. What I’ve done is offered a ‘garden calendar’. All the things you recommend doing, you compile as a ‘to do’ list, at the appropriate times. Home owners are smart, but unless they know when to do it, they might not get the results they should. So if you suggest a water soluble fertilizer every other week, note it on their calendar. When should they trim their Forsythia? Note that too… Sort of instruction manual for their garden. Offer it at a small charge (print calendar pages on your computer), otherwise let them take their own notes.

I wouldn’t expect to have a whole lot of customers, but if you target younger home owners, without a lot of experience- you might do okay.

Good luck-
