...I don't know if this thread goes here, to be honest.
Well, my Marimos right now are really grey. I thought they would enjoy a tank with water that is kept healthy, and some fish poop as fertilizer, and hardly any light. But they are really grey, so I guess there's something I'm doing wrong. I want to make this tank the most comfortable for them. So what can I do?
The tank is 29 gallons, freshwater, for now just 2 platys, about 84*F, 0.25 or less of ammonia, 0 nitrites, about 5 nitrates. The fish are in great condition, the water is clear, there are 2 hob filters and a bubbler, no other plants just 4 Marimos. I occasionally turn on the LED lights for the Marimos, probably about once a week, for about 5 hours.
Maybe they just want more light? But I read they hardly need any light, so that confuses me. Maybe it's the high temperature? But, I also read they can handle high temps. What could it be?
