Excellent sticky's on the plants!!!

New Question: will the java fern babies grow as floating plants once i remove them with their roots?? I don't want to attach them to anything if they will make interesting floating plants.

I never had any luck with them floating since they always seem to get stuck to the filter intake. I just stuck some in a little hole/opening on some of my driftwood. Maybe you would have better luck with them floating than I did.

im the same as SW...unless i weigh them with something, they end up in the filter intake

Thank You
The babies tend to tumble around and eventually wind up stuck to the filter uptake tube. They will stay attached to the parent plant for a long time if the current isn't too strong.
I keep the babies pulled off of the ones in my 75 gallon because I want to see how big the parent plant will get. I assume the babies pull some sustenence from the parents as long as they are attached.
