Aquarium Advice FINatic
I've got a low-light tank (24 gallon) with no CO2
Java fern, java moss and anubia have been growing very well. I recently started adding Seachem flourish.
In my ignorance I bought some Ludwigia Arcuata and to my surprise it seems to be doing quite well. It's getting quite tall - would it work to trim the tips to make it branch more? Should the roots be inserted under the gravel? At the moment quite a few stems are pretty much floating with roots barely touching gravel as I don't know how to root them properly.
I also got myself a tiny Amazon Sword - I've read they do okay in low-light tanks, but need root fertilisers?
I'm a bit stuck with adding fertilisers as it seems I cannot get root tabs around here.
