Hello everyone! I'm a new member but have been browsing the forums for awhile. I set up my tank about 3 months ago and have been adding plants since.
Tank Specs:
20 gallon tall
Eheim 2217 canister filter
Finnex 24/7 Planted+ 24"
There are a few guppies, a betta, flying fox, SAEs, plecos, tetras, amano shrimps and all types of snails (mystery, nerite, assassin, ramhorn, MTS, bladder).
Lots of different plants in the tank. I'm pretty much just putting random stuff in and seeing how it fares. I'm doing with Flourish Excel a few days a week, micro nutrients a few days a week and macro nutrients once a week. I also put in fert tabs in the substrate.
Here are all the plants that are in the tank right now with the issues I'm seeing:
Dwarf Sagittaria - not seeing any growth since planting 3 months ago; just staying the same size.
Egeria Densa - I saw an initial spike in growth 3 months ago and then it slowed down almost to a halt.
Water Wisteria - This one was a decent size but completely melted away.
Hornwort (Ceratophyllaceae) - This one grows very quick and dense.
Rotala Roundfolia pink - Not seeing much growth in this one since planting (3 months ago).
Java Moss - Growing nicely on the driftwood.
Hygro Corymbosa - growing very well.
Jungle Val - I put these in the back of the tank expecting them to grow large but they have stayed stagnent since I put them in (2 months ago).
Java Fern - These were already brown and damaged when I got them. I put them on drift wood but they don't seem to be growing or changing at all (2 months ago).
Amazon Sword - didn't grow initially but after putting a fert tab below it, it grew very quickly
Cryptocoryne wendtii "brown" - growing very well since adding the substrate fert tabs below them.
Anubias Barteri - only a few weeks old, looks to be doing ok.
Anubias (unknown type) - seems more hardy then the other anubias but not really growing at all.
Some pics below regarding a few other issues:
Unknown Anubias - can anyone identify this?
Weird white dots on the driftwood - I'm not sure what this is (its on all the wood and glass)
Hygro Corymbosa roots shooting from main stem - is this normal? The Egeria Densa was doing the same thing.
The Java Fern on the driftwood - looking damaged and not growing or dying...just staying the same since day 1.
Rotala Roundfolia pink growing very slowly and only vertically (I thought it would grow outwards at least a little)
Something has been eating the leave on the Hygro Corymbosa (probably the mystery snails??)
Dwarf Sagittaria hasn't grown at all in 3 months
