I grew a pothos Vine in an aquarium for 15 years it ended up growing up my wall across the living room across other aquariums. Each aquarium that it touched along the way it would drop Roots I had the bend it back towards its original aquarium but eventually over the years it was attaching to the walls of my house so unfortunately I had to cut it all back I am still growing it but only around the original tank.

When you add emersed plants of any kind to an aquarium nitrogen and nitrates go out the window. All the CO2 the plants have access to allows for far more nutrient absorption as well and the root mass of the plant. One that works super well just to suck up nitrogen is purple waffle plant. Super easy to grow.

The purple waffle looks great. I'll be trying to find one. It's definitely better than emerged plants.

I use big short cholla for a natural look. I use a black coated wire to fix in place. Put your roots in the inside, the roots fix themselves, growing through the holes. If you want to fix it to the substrate too, let it sink and pull (or don’t pull) the pathos leaves. I would definitely use the other one in a contemporary tank.

For my open top tanks I use large cork lids for canning and larger jars. Cut a hole in the center and poke some pothos cuttings in the hole and just let it float around. Works great, if the plants start getting tight I just enlarge the center hole a bit. Easy peasy. I really like the pothos holder though, very nice to keep plants on one side or end of the tank. Very nice, thanks, Mike. 👍❤️👍

@@AQUAPROS I like the round floating cork lids because I can float 3 or 4 of them in a tank, and they grow some great good bacteria. My ramshorn snails are always all over them, bottom, sides, and out of the water on top of them happily munching away, and it's cool to see the plants floating gently around like they do naturally on a lazy, slow creek. But I really like the pothos carrier thing because that gives stability to more sturdy, heavier plants. I'm thinking a combo of both will be the best of both worlds. 👍💖👍

This is a great idea! I attached a chain to the ceiling that hangs down so my pothos grows upwards from the tank. It started as a small cutoff but its around 3 feet now. Still aways to go before it hits the ceiling, but its growing quite fast especially since I added growlight. The main issue is dosing enough fertilizer, it is growing out of a planted blackwater tank with lots of floaters aswell so there is a real battle for nutrition going on 😄 I've only got a bristlenose and around 15 kuhli loaches inthere so its a small bioload aswell, but I am considering to add a bunch of male guppies for more color and poop 🤗
