Hey everyone, I was wondering what the requirements for an amazon sword would be in a 55 gallon tank.
I've seen lots of reports of medium light requirements, but I've also seen people growing them in low light conditions as well. I have one in my ten gallon that has absolutely exploded in growth, so I don't have a very good backup plan at the moment except for the 55. The 55 isn't set up to be a planted tank at the moment so I am hesitant to put it in there, but it is really starting to take up some space.
I realized that it would eventually outgrow the 10, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Any suggestions on the 55 would be great. It only has the stock lighting on your run of the mill Walmart special hood.
