Crazy about mangroves!!

[fish farmer]

My cats ate the leaves off of mine [emoji24][emoji24]

That's why all my plants are either hanging or in a glass box. No open top mangrove tank for me.

You say they are sensitive to big swings ins salinity and temp. I'm wondering what you mean by big. Since mangroves live in swamps, estuaries, deltas, or whatever, don't temps and salinity change daily based on tide, rain, and other conditions? I'm just wondering what you mean by big. I want to move my mangrove pods to a breeder style AIO system that I will build, and I am afraid that since it will be a rimless tank without a lid, that swings in salinity will hurt my plants. Please let me know any info is always appreciated![/

I think you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t have them from salt to fresh or salt water super diluted with fresh for a period of time and back to 1.026.

I love having mangroves in the fuge. Not sure if they’re actually doing anything but I think it’s pretty cool having there.

I have plenty wash up in my backyard (river). I will pick up a few and stick them in the middle of my dense chaeto.
