10g betta (and neon) tank!
Is it because we turned the temp down? It's 79 degrees. Or because we forgot to turn off the co2 one night?

It will look even better once it opens! I had this happen on my Anubia once and never found a real answer to why it happens. Some say phosphate levels, others said lighting/photoperiod... It looked awesome while it lasted though! Good Work, whatever it was you did...!

Thanks! Can't wait to see it open, we noticed the one on the other wall had a bloom too. This little betta tank is proving to be one our most successful planted tanks.

Lucky!
I have ones that started on both of mine several months ago, but then just sort of stalled out.

All three tanks with Anubis has them, I think it's the temp. We recently turned every one down to 78 and that's when the flowers popped up. How warm is your tank?

I keep my tanks at 76F. I have low-ish light in that tank, high pH of 8.4, and pretty high GH and KH as well. I figured it probably had more to do with one or more of those factors.

I too have high ph and gh. Do you have co2?

Not in that tank I don't. Its my "low tech" 20 gallon tank, so I just dose glut and the Flourish line of liquid ferts... though I'll be switching over to PPS-Pro once my bottle of Comprehensive runs out (soon I think). As far as glut goes, Im currently dosing 2ml of Metricide 14 daily.
