Shrimple minded Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I wasn't aware that alder cones could grow sprouts......is this normal? Is it safe to keep them in the tank in this state, or should I remove and replace? mayphly, Edwardnah, Amyers22 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiumanfu Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Never seen that before. My vote is to leave it in and grow an aquatic alder tree. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda.m.amundsen.1 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 It may be they are viable elder seeds still in the cone or they could be something else seeds. I think I would leave them in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dendrobatez Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Never seen it before but it makes sense, the cone is where evergreen seeds are stored/protected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyers22 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 That's awesome! I say leave them in and share photos of their progression! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Wouldn't the new plants drown? aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
