Hello all,
I have a slow plant growth issue in my tank. For a while, I've had crypts, and couple of melon swords in my tank. They are pretty established plants and keep growing regularly. But, recently, I've purchased some new plants for my tank, but they don't seem to be growing at all. I got some water sprite and wisteria over two month ago. I got them because I thought that they were a fast growing and low tech plants which don't require CO2. But unfortunately, they are not growing much, or I should say not at all. They are starting to deteriorate. Same thing happened to Bacopas, Money Worts, and Cabomba that I tried in the past.
I have a 65G tank which was established almost 2 years ago. I have finnex lights. I dose the tank with flourish, flourish excel, and potassium. The substrata is a mix of gravel and fluorite.
is there a reason why I can't grow any new plants? are they competing for nutrients with the crypts and the swords?
any tip is greatly appreciated.
