This is such nicely explained video. Thank you to the translator too for capturing everything the gentleman was saying! I think this is the most informative video on Ferns (aquarium) on YT. Subscribed! 🙂

Thank you for making English speaking videos . Enjoying them.

best channel ever!

Thank you for this

Great video

Great advice. I didn’t know how to properly care for Java Ferns. I just happen to have high water flow by my ferns. Now I know why. Thank you ☺️

I like this voice over better than the previous one.

I love the video. I got the fern disease. Im going to use potassium.

I think you missed 4th part, water parameters, ferns grows only in soft water, where as TDS should be less than 150 or 120 if you control TDS you can control all water parameters and PH value is around 7

Very helpful, thank you!

💯👍👍

I am considering the ferns in my non co2 cold water (19c) low light tank, but since changing water often promotes algae in non co2, will ferns be ok with long water change periods as long as the parameters remain stable? I have a large amount of flow, with a 1800L/h canister filter and a small glass mount sponge filter that is for extra circulation, I guess somewhere around the 1000L/h mark as well. This is in a 120cm (160L approx) tank, flow is very strong! I have a chiller and a heater combined so the temperature never moves from 19c. I plan to have only Anubias, Java ferns and crypts and possibly some water lillys. The plants I currently have are mostly types of hygrophilia that are growing reasonably well, one sword (which has never done well) and two anubias which are responding very well as of recently. None of these except the anubias are ideal for this type of tank, so I will be remodelling in a few months and the ferns have interested me. I can attest to the whole soft water thing, I had many problems with plant sickness and poor growth, I have recently started to switch to rain water mixed with seachem equilibrium at the minium dose, for GH of 3.5 to 4 max is the target I am aiming for a KH of no more that 1, and ideally 0.5 to 0.7. I have been changing my water with this new mixture 50% every week to slowly remove the highly hard and calcium and carbonate rich water for a few weeks already, it's seen much improvement, however, as many scientific research papers show that in a low co2 aquarium, new water introduces a co2 spike/fluctuation which promotes algae bursts shortly after. I have tested this and I have confirmed this is the case, so I am hoping ferns will do ok with infrequent water changes. It is also important to keep in mind that in a low light, cold and non co2 tank, the nutrient and metabolism turn over is a fraction of a typical co2 tank, I believe this is one of reasons a lot of veteran non co2 tank owners have great success by refraining from changing the water too often and dosing very small amounts of nutrients only every few weeks as 90% or more of the requirements comes from the animal waste. I would love to hear any thoughts on this and personal experiences. I have followed the guidelines for non co2 from Tom Barr's papers and forum guides/articles and they have already done so much in helping my aquarium do much better. Great video by the way! Very informative.

This is extremely useful. Where is the video for Fern Disease?

Is it possible that high light could cause thease Fern to turn brown. As in my tank all your mentioned points are covered by me.but still its turning brown and melting. Talking about bolbities deformis plant..

Thank you for this video. If you could be so kind to translate the one about fern disease, I'd be most grateful.

Hi I'm having problems with my java fern I keep getting translucent tips any ideas, co2,thrive fert,chihrios lighting my other plants are thriving

How do I soften my tap water?

Get rid of the damn music. I can barely understand the narrator.
