Respiration occurs all day , it is not the opposite of photosynthesis. Transpiration is not CO2 emission , it is vapor water emission

I love what some people call "a mess of plants" that need trimming to make nice and neat. I find the fish love alot of healthy plants and prevents fish dominating each other and out competing for food. The fish are more relaxed! Plus, when I see underwater videos of rivers I always notice the plants are thick and tangled.

A fantastic video. Really helpful! I love FISHTORY - it’s my favourite aquarium YT channel by far. Always new tips and knowledge and no BS. And Alexander is really humble and an excellent presenter, great at explaining and keeping viewers engaged. 👍👍

In Australia so many pet shops sell non aquarium plants as fully submersed plants so you need to learn what not to buy

About the most comprehensive explanation of "melting" out there. I wasted a lot of time. money, and hope in the early days in the hobby, when raising crypts was hopeless, as they are particularly susceptible. I don't remember this process being explained anywhere in the 1950s - 70s.

A general thank you to Alex for putting out comprehensive videos for the more advanced hobbyist. You explain things really well for the beginner, as well as for the more advanced and/or sciencey folks, but you don't necessarily waste time explaining the same old insanley basic stuff you can find on any YouTube channel. Seems like you really do your research and get the whys behind the topics you cover. Great education here!

Being a new planted aquarium person this really helps me immensely. I remember when I first planted my one Aquarium I experienced melt and I almost gave up because I just thought it was me!! Videos like this help me not give up and make want to even try new species of plants. I love the way you break it down where even beginners like myself can understand! Thanks Alex for all you do have a blessed day! 🤗🌿🐟🌿💚🙏

Best advice I ever received on preventing Crypt melt is before you plant them (or right after) clip EVERYTHING off. Yes, everything! Why? Because Crypt melt is almost inevitable. When the leaves start to melt, the plant is still trying to provide nutrients to those dying leaves. By clipping everything of right from the start, the plant now directs all of its nutrients to growing healthy immersed leaves, not trying to keep melting ones alive. This is not something that comes easy for everyone to do. When we get new plants we want to see them in our aquarium. But the results will actually be a healthy beautiful plant in less time.
