Review on Premium Foreground Seeds for Freshwater Aquarium Live Plants: Ideal Carpeting for Shrimps, Betta, Goldfish, and Guppies by Stephanie Banks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

3 tanks destroyed and probably $700+ damage.

I'm crazy! If I could sue, I would! This is going to be a long review! I built a 10 gallon aquarium with plants for about $500. We bought 15-20kg of substrate and bought some gray stone (both not cheap). I use these seeds and germinate them in my aquarium. It takes about 10-14 days and I have a carpet of tears that look like dwarf baby tears and they are beautiful! So I fill up the tank and let it run. Still beautiful! I am transferring these "Dwarf Baby Tears" to 2 other aquariums. It was around this time that I noticed they were doing something strange. Leaves get bigger and longer. I suspect it's because the leaves aren't being removed, so the plants are trying to get more light by growing leaves. (Wish I could just ask someone at this point) I throw in about $80 shrimp. My shrimp start dying after a few days. Test my water to make sure my parameters are bad. Above Ph but nothing that could harm the shrimp. I add Ph correctly and immediately lower Ph. I also add CO2 for long term pH correction. I add more shrimp and some tetra. The shrimp are dying again! At this point I begin to suspect plants. Everything else is perfect and the fish are dying in all 3 tanks. I posted in a known forum for help. Come and know that I have no dwarf baby tears. I have Hygrophila Polysperma! Hygrophila Polysperma BTW is a poisonous plant and must not be sold in the USA! It's on the FEDERAL LIST OF HARMFUL WEED! Are you F$&@$?! JOKE ABOUT ME?! With this information I try to remove the plants but because they are weeds I CANNOT KILL THEM! They keep coming back! I lost over $200 on fish! Now I need to buy more substrate $$$ Most of my jewelry ($50 in rocks and $20 in driftwood) is just 1 tank! My wife's tank and my son-in-law's tank are not included! What makes me terrible! Worst product I've ever bought!
