Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok so I just got some new plants from petco the other day. I got an Anubias, Rotala Indica, Cardamine Lyrata and I got another one but my daughter cut up the little tag thing that came with it so I forget which one it was but Im thinking maybe a sword? But Im not 100% sure Ill have to look again but anyways I was wondering how to take care of them and what lighting I need and what not. The guy at petco said they were using some liquid stuff in the tank it was tetra flora pride and he told me that there is better stuff out there but thats just what they use. He was really helpful other than the fact he sold me a plant that apparently isnt aquatic(Purple waffle I think??) And then when my boyfriend went up there to talk to them about returning it a lady working tried saying most plants arent aquatic that people just put them in there and they live and grow healthy but I still wanted to return it because I didnt want this plant to be dying in a short amount of time. But back on subject what type of lighting should I get for these plants and also what type of substrate would be good? I have sand right now I was wondering if I should do anything or change anything! Thank you so much!!
