Yee Crash Aquatic Seeds

Yee Crash Aquatic Seeds

Yee Crash Aquatic Seeds are a carpet plant seed for aquariums, used to grow a low, lawn-like cover across the substrate. They suit hobbyists who want an easy-to-grow foreground carpet, and they need good lighting and the right planting technique to do well.

Key Benefits

• Easy to grow when the planting guide is followed
• No CO2 needed
• Excellent as a carpet plant
• Covers a planting area of 40 x 40 cm (16" x 16")
• Good lighting is recommended, as light levels can affect how the plants develop

How to Use

Plant the seeds without water for a better germination rate. The no-water method is the recommended one. A submerged method is also possible if you prefer to plant in a filled tank.

No-water planting (recommended method)

• Add substrate to your fish tank.
• Distribute the seeds over the substrate. Take care that they do not fall below the surface, which can happen with a large pebble substrate.
• Keep the seed surface wet.
• Sprouting usually takes 2-7 days.
• Once the seeds sprout, add water slowly. Do not stir the substrate or disturb the seeds.
• Keep the temperature from getting too low. 68°F-85°F is optimal.
• Sprouting normally takes 5-7 days, depending on your water temperature.

Planting in a water-filled tank

• Keep the temperature above 30°C and have filtration equipment in place.
• If the seeds float, put them in a separate container of water until they sink.
• Turn off any filter that causes water movement.
• Add the seeds to your tank. Space them out and avoid putting too many in one spot, otherwise they compete with each other and their growth is stunted.
• Add a very thin layer of substrate on top of the seeds.
• Turn the water flow back on after planting.
• Seeds normally take 15 days to sprout, and about 30 days for the carpet to finish landscaping.

Precautions

• Keep the temperature above 20°C at all times for optimal growth.
• Do not scatter the seeds too closely when casting them. Leave suitable gaps so the plants have room to breathe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Yee Crash Aquatic Seeds need CO2?
No, the plant does not need CO2. Good lighting is still recommended, since light can affect how the plants grow.

Which planting method works best?
Planting the seeds without water is the recommended method and gives a better germination rate. Planting in a water-filled tank also works, but it needs a temperature above 30°C and filtration equipment.

How long do the seeds take to sprout?
With the no-water method, sprouting usually takes 2-7 days, and normally 5-7 days depending on water temperature. In a water-filled tank, expect about 15 days to sprout and about 30 days for the carpet to finish.

What should I do if the seeds float?
Put them in a separate container of water until they sink, then add them to the tank. Turn off any filter that causes water movement before planting, and switch it back on afterwards.

Why shouldn't I scatter the seeds thickly?
Seeds packed too closely compete with each other and their growth is stunted. Space them out and leave gaps so the plants have room to breathe.

What temperature do the seeds need?
For the no-water method, 68°F-85°F is optimal and the temperature should not be too low. The precautions advise keeping it above 20°C at all times for optimal growth.
