FATHER FISH PLANT PACKAGE
STEM PLANTS
The plants you receive are cuttings from mother plants. This is standard practice for all stem plants. They will begin developing roots when put in water. These plants have been kept dry and cold for about a week. Place them in water overnight so they can rehydrate.
Begin planting the next day. It is not helpful to separate the bunches. Stem plants, like most other plants, do better in groups of their own species. They are able to work the soil together. If you are planting in a dirted deep substrate push the stem of the plant only one inch into the sand. As roots develop they will locate the nutrients.
I like to provide extra light in the beginning. Personally, I leave lights on 24/7 for about a week. Then reduce to 16 hrs a day.

Unit price perBanana Plants are tenacious little fore- or mid-ground floaters that add a delightful detail to any hobbyist’s aquarium. This plant can be characterized by it's long stems with light to dark green rounded/heart shaped leaves grown from a base of swollen green tubes which resemble a bunch of bananas. These plants are quite popular both because they are easy to care for, and for their distinctively charming look. The banana plant’s tubers pop especially well against a black or dark substrate. They can be left to float or planted into the substrate, but don’t bury the plant’s tubers more than ¼ inch. They prefer calm water. If left to float, they will start to grow white roots that reach down into the substrate, anchoring the plant.
Banana plants are also called banana lilies, for their stems will quickly shoot to the top of your tank and the leaves will float like lily pads. If left, they can blossom small white flowers. Although beautiful, leaving them to grow like this can seriously restrict light to other plants in your tank. To avoid this, prune the leaves occasionally or plant the banana plant into the substrate. You can propagate new banana plants from the pruned leaves, which is a bonus because these plants don’t live all that long.
Banana plants are adaptable and resilient, making them a great choice for community tanks. They can grow with range of lighting conditions, but will grow faster with moderate/high lighting.

Unit price perOrchid lily in the spotlight
The Orchid lily (Barclaya longifolia) is available in two colours, red or green, but both have a reddish hue on the underside of the leaf.
It’s simple to grow, yet has not appeared in many tanks due to an apparent lack of supply in the UK until recently. The leaves have been known to grow to 81cm/32” in length, with a wavy pattern to the edges, but the green form is not as large as the red.
The plant prefers a soft acidic water, both in full sun or partial shade. The water needs movement, but not a torrent, and it can be found in the slack waters of New Guinea and many parts of South-East Asia. In the aquarium it requires medium to bright lighting, especially the red form, but the green will survive and retain its coloration in either.
Water must be between 22-32°C/72-90°F with pH acid to neutral and must be soft as this plant will not survive in full hardness water. RO units or peat filtration will be needed to enjoy this specimen at full potential.
Barclaya longifolia is a corm, or bulbous-based plant, and this is where it stores food. It likes a good nutritious substrate, ideally clay based, but will survive in gravel or sand as long as it’s surrounded by a bed of clay-based nutrients.
Planting is simple. Put the corm half in the substrate and half out, laying it on its side.

Unit price per
Aponogeton Crispus is a beautiful aquarium plant hailing from Sri Lanka. This aquarium plant features light green leaves that are slightly transparent and large in size. Aponogeton Crispus's larger size makes it suitable as a background choice in larger planted tanks. This aquatic plant is fairly undemanding but does better when provided with soft, slightly acidic water and a nutrient-dense bottom.
Notes:
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- Aponogeton grows fairly large making this aquarium plant suitable for larger planted aquariums.
- Please be sure to remove this plant from its lead bunch. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep "bunched" aquarium plants, click here.
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Unit price perCommon Name: Aponogeton Longiplumulosus
Aponogeton Longiplumulosus is a tall bulb plant that originates from Madagascar. The leaves are long and thin with ruffled edges, almost like a cross between Aponogeton and Cryptocoryne Balansae. It makes a wonderful background addition for larger aquariums and can grow to the surface of your aquarium. Like other Aponogeton bulbs, this plant is quite hardy and does well in a wide range of water parameters.
Half of the bulb should be buried into the substrate to facilitate growth. Avoid completely burying the bulb as this can promote bulb rot.
Notes:
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
- Aponogeton grows fairly large making this aquarium plant suitable for larger planted aquariums.

Unit price perThe queen of tropical plants can grow to 2 feet and each leaf last for up to a year.
The Aponogeton Ulvaceus Madagascariensis is a distinctive bulb plant native to Madagascar. This variety looks to be a hybrid of two different aquatic plant species: Aponogeton Ulvaceus, also known as the "Giant Onion Plant", and Aponogeton Madagascariensis, also known as the "Madagascar Lace Plant".
This hybrid species is wavy and lacy, featuring slightly translucent oblong leaves that are light green in color. Overall plant size can range from 25 to 50 cm depending on the hybrid's particular lineage. A nutrient-dense aquarium soil is highly recommended as with all heavy root feeders along with consistent maintenance efforts to ensure this aquarium plant does well. Proper water circulation and flow is vital for good health and will support healthy plant growth.
When planting, ensure the bulb is covered by the substrate, with the tip of the sprout just above the soil's surface. Due to its unique water quality and substrate requirements, this hybrid species is best suited as a solitary plant in a species-specific aquarium. Aponogeton Ulvaceus Madagascariensis' growth can be boosted by inserting nutrient capsules into the substrate around the bulb's root system.
