Edit- this is my 29 gallon planted. Stocked with 2 angels, 6 neon tetras, 1 bristlenose pleco, 3 cories, 4 otos, 1 bolivian ram. Oh and a few ghost shrimp and 1 Apple snail.
So today I was checking my water parameters like I usually do before my water changed, I added wysteria about 3 days ago and my last water change was about 6 or 7 days ago.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
The last few weeks my nitrates have been about 10-20 ppm.
So my question is, is the wysteria sucking up all the nitrates? And if so, will my other plants get enough nutrition?
I have seachem root tabs, dose seachem flourish 1-2 times a week., seachem excel about 3 x a week .
I just added a school of 6 neon tetras 3 days ago, the same day I added the wisteria. I think I'm going to up the school to 10 to increase the biolaod a little bit. I know it seems as though my tank is fully stocked. But tetras school tightly I don't think adding more would interfere with the angels space too much.
I just want my plants to get enough nutrition. Will increasing the bioload help or should I be dosing something else?
Other plants are crypts, dwarf sag, anubias, java fern, aponogeton . All of them seem to be doing well, the dwarf sag is sending out shoots and has some new plants, the crypts have about 2 new leaves each week, I just want to make sure the wisteria isn't hogging all the good stuff, or should I not be worried at all?
