Hi all,
I have a 30 gallon planted tank. Aquaclear 70 (with a bottle baffle). 6 cardinal/neon tetras, 8 glowlight rasboras, 1 bn pleco, ramshorn snails and assassin snails.
Plants are: java fern, java moss, anubias, Myriophyllum mattogrossense, vals, and Cryptocoryne willisii. No C02 - everything grows like crazy without it (usually).
I just fought a fast battle with either a fungus or columnaris (still not sure which!). I lost a few fish, but seem to have kicked it with Furan 2. My LFS said that there would be no problem using Furan 2 in my tank, but....
My java ferns look grey/brown in patches (sometimes with entire leaves faded out) and some of the leaves look skeletal. The Myriophyllum has wilted back in some parts, but has continued to grow in others (it needs weekly pruning normally, but not now!). The rest seem ok.
What can I do to bring them back from the edge? I love my java ferns! They are so big and beautiful.
Any advice is welcome!
Cheers,
E
