New apistos!

[Gillie]

I should send you my hybrid to cycle with. I think he will out live all of us.

Lol, according to the test results it may melt the scales right off the guy

They turned really pale and the red moss should be darker. I had the co2 up a little high, even the pond snails kicked off. The only thing that seems ok are the staurs.

They look vibrantly semi healthy to me. Is the tank low low tech?

The apisto is looking real healthy too. He's going to have some proud fins in his prime.

Oops, I see your CO2 was high. Im too slow. Whats your dosing regime and light source?

All the plants are root feeders except the guppy grass and stauro? So mostly root tabs and a little flourish comp every few days. The lighting is 2 current satellites on for 6 hours a day.

Root tabs are osmocote+ and iron with a little peat, it's an experimental tab.

Thanks for the info!
Im going to stock up on some capsule tabs. How often do you add a tab to the root feeders?
Any good tab deals online you'd recommend, or do you make your own?

I make my own and I add new every couple months or when the plant looks like it needs it.

You can actually make 500 tabs for roughly the same price, I was making 500 o+ tabs for less than 16 bucks.

Turning a corner here, parameters are dropping! I did poof the guppy grass and ozelot sword though, but I added baby tears and I am giving mermaid weed another shot, one day I will get this plant to grow in my tank.

I'm hoping to get a spawn from the luelingi soon the female is getting kind of pushy and doing a lot of belly displays at the male.

I find both of these observations amusing!
I guess I may have screwed up the context?
@Tbox;Reeeeally

Good luck Gillie!
I stayed home today and am playing with a 20T for a pair of mine...
