Not another pothos thread!!

Ive been messing with pothos for a while now, I just want to make a thread showing all of the ways I've used it.


In HOB filters


Here's a 1 quart plastic pitcher with holes drilled in the bottom, the handle fit nicely on the rim of the tank. This was a 29g fry growout with a divider

drilled some 1" holes in the plastic strip of a versatop of a 75g.

I've had the best success on my 90g.
I've got a 40b sump with a small 1/2 gallon tray integrated into the lid of the sump. It's fed by a 185gph 9w submersible pump and drains back into the sump by 3 3/4" drains.. 1 would be sufficient, but i was concerned about drains clogging with plant material.



The mesh box houses African cichlid fry

I have mesh gutter guard shrouding the 2 10w 6500k cfls from touching the leaves.



It's growing out of the back of the stand on both sides!

My nitrates stay under 10ppm on this tank between weekly water changes.

Hard to say for sure, I never bothered to check a before and after. My 90g has had pothos in it since I set it up. Since November its quadrupled in size.


Here's a pic from a few months ago as a comparison.

I don't think its 100% of the pothos. I do fin level waterchanges in the display every week, plus dispose of all of the mechanical media (floss/pads) every week or so also. It stays pretty clean, plus I don't overfeed the fish. I skip a day or two of feeding every week.

I am seeing visible growth every day from the pothos, and it can't do that without some sort of food lol. I suspect it may be consuming the "raw" ammonia before it has the chance to be converted to nitrate? I don't really know

I've heard nothing about roots being dangerous. This is news to me.

pothos need a lot of light ?

No, they'll grow indoors with just ambient light from the room.

They'll grow faster with more light, but too much may be bad for them. Usually just a single CFL or something does the trick
