Liberty1776 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi Chris, Eric, my names John and I Love my Buce. I currently have over 12 different specie, have been able to stop for a little while, but my friends online... well, lets just say I now am fearing a hard relapse, as I have found a new connect. I dont wanna name names, but his names H4N, hes got that good buce too I hear. Good to be here, and please share some pics, it helps to ease the pain. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi Buce, it's good to have you here. Welcome to the Buce addiction club haha. I myself am going to be ordering some more buces here in the near future.... After I get some freaking taiwans. I really like the small thin leaves ones with contrast to the big ones. It gives even a small tank depth like anubias broadleaf and nana in the same tank haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can someone explain to me the fascination with buces or crypts? Me to lol, have tons of crypts but don't really like them. Buce don't really want one. Only one I'm fascinated with is white Anubias. But not enough to pay $100 for a leaf lol. I'd love a white color in my planted tank. Maybe one day. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtletanks91 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 There's always deals on buces. Lowest I've paid has been 10$ most was 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Later this week I will have 6 species of buces. This is what I like about the following types of plants Crypts, Buce and Anubias - relatively slow easy to grow in about any condition with countless types available. The reason I like the buce is the colors and the fact that is like a crypt but is a rhizome type plant (so can be tied off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 That's exactly right, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Tied to driftwood, rocks - aka not needed to be planted in the substrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Oh. How do they propagate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 just like anubias, the rhizome grows, and leaves come off that. When you want, you trim the rhizome and then have 2 plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Like a runner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sort of. Some buces will send off runners like side shoots of anubias. And you can trim that off. Or you can just cut the rhizome in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Interesting. Does anyone have a photo thread on how to cut the rhizome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I would assume you just cut it in have using scissors or something of that sort like anubias. I haven't cut any yet but I have watched someone do it. It's the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
