I was reading in the internet that onions make pretty cool tank plants - Has anyone tried it yet??

They probably give the fish bad breath and make them fart :lol:

Damn, you own me a new keyboard - I just sprayed coffee all over it

:lol:

Not me but would be interesting to see if anyone has, I think I saw someone using parcley in there tanks a while back, could be worth a shot!!

that was hazara. The kuhlis looked pretty cool on it

And it was just as food, I blanched it first...

I have some egyptin onions sprouting - I'll chuck in a bulb and see if the fishies start farting..

Perhaps a cheap source of CO2?

I can see it now..

Fish a) what are those bubbles?

Fish b) No (rippppp) Idea

Keep the onions well away from your tank or the Minister of Finance will be trying to bring in a fart tax on fish. All hail Kyoto

The sulphur and ammonia from the water rot could be tricky.

use watercress instead.

when it grows out of the tank you can pick it and eat it :lol:

Needs plenty of pork bones though Wok especially if you use Watercress.

Onions go ok with a good Chow mein though. :lol:

I wouldn't think either the Onions or the Water Cress would do anything for the fish, (or the tank) except make them fart and have bad breath as Caryl says.

Hell they had enough trouble with the "FART TAX" for Cows on a farm, let alone the Fish Tanks in the home. :roll:

Watercress is used as a filter in ponds

It also goes well with Pork Bones Caryl. :lol:

yumm...

You may have been reading about Onion plant (Crinium thainum) That is the problem with common names.

Wouldn't onions make the fish cry and to counteract maybe use no2 instead of c02 ?

The fish are underwater so the onions would not make them cry.

The fish are underwater so the onions would not make them cry.

Sounds like you also know the answer to the tree falling in the forest with noone to hear thing as well

Oh, wait did you mean a shot at the "Can you cry underwater" conundrum, or was it reference to the fact that chopping onions under water neutralises the acid (I forget which acid).

Anyway - my onion was doing well, I keept meaning to take photos of it but It was growing so well I thought In a couple of days it'll look even better so I never bothered.

I went away for the weekend and apparently my BN got pissed with being starved to he took to it - stripped almost all the green off both the leaves and the top of the bulb.
