Rams in planted tank

[Lady_Alia]

I have 2 ebr and 2 gbr in a planted tank. I'm worried about adding fertilizers cuz I don't wanna hurt the rams.
QUESTION: will adding liquid fertilizer or fertilizer sticks to the tank harm my rams in any way?

Nope you should be fine. Just make sure your fertilizers are specially manufactured for aquariums to be extra safe

Don't tell anyone but I keep a pair of rams in a heavily planted Evolve 8 dosed with Comprehensive without any issues...

Lol because its relatively small for a pair of rams. Technically, but I'm not gonna get in to technicalities with the SA expert lol

Yes due to the tank size, I wouldn't recommend that specific set up to anyone lol.

Lots of people keep breeders in 5.5, but I wouldn't recommend anything below 10. 8 is close enough. I keep apistogramma baenschi in my 6.6 edge

I don't see why not, but I couldn't comment for sure.

I would maybe check through the ingredients just in case

I wouldn't have any idea what I'd be looking for. I'm VERY new to both plants and rams.

You get it at Walmart. It's called Jobes fert sticks.
