Shaving brush

[Elite]

Anyone here successful keeping these?

 

[seminolecpa]

I have one for my head does that count?

 

[zambavi]

Don't know much about them. Picked one up a couple of years ago and it quickly faded and died over a couple of weeks. This was in a tank where other micro algae was thriving.

That is cool Sam.. How tall are they?? The ones I got from Max are pretty tall. Oh and the leave are green not like that.

Jeff, I hope you don't pull them out. They do that but don't touch them. Sometimes they come back. (Read that on Sam's forum )

Ya... I read that a little while back.... this happened a few years ago though so too late. I'll try them again here soon.

phong, they're really stubby. like 2-3" tall i was hoping for some taller ones to put on the side of the tank. it would be cool to have a long tank full of these macros for the sandbed. it would look like pine trees hehe

it's a cool macro jeff. i'll put some of these suckers in dbtc if they grow like crazy in my tank.

Sounds good. I'll have to jump on the DBTC down the road if I don't grab some from Max this weekend.

Here is one of mine.. You can see it grew quite a bit.

[bluenassarius]

hopefully max have some of them left for the bar swap. i want some

 

[Elite]

He has a bunch left.. Didn't know if you want them so I didn't pick them up.. I got 2 christmas tree ..

 

[xinumaster]

Do they need sand?

 

[Elite]

yes... they have root..

 

[bluenassarius]

oops my photo didn't show..

 

[bluenassarius]

phong,

looked in the tank this morning, my mermaids fan produced one also. these things grow pretty darn quick

 

[zambavi]

I grabbed a pair from max's on Friday. They look really good. He had about 8 left.

 

[Elite]

did you get the ones with plenty of roots?

 

[zambavi]

I believe so... they were certainly not the best and first ones to go. But they still looked good. Had a few roots on each. I'm going to let them be in the fuge for a while and see what happens.

 

[Elite]

Cool... I picked up two. One with plenty of root but the other one not so much. You can see the one with the long root grow much faster.. Good luck this time man.. Keep them in there even all the leaves are gone..
