Hi everyone!

[Olena]

I am new to this forum. I am glad that I have found it, I hope to get answers to my questions here. I have 20 gal tank, I got it as a kit from Petco. I am trying to grow plants there and lost so many fish already since I started this tank about two years ago. Some fish lived for as long as 6 months, and other just for a month or two. I had two or three ich spikes. Dwarf gourami is the only one left at this time, after last treatment for ich. And I am proud of my Amazon Sword - it likes my tank

Welcome to AA!

I like planted! Is this a 20 long or high?
And are you adding root tabs to your amazon sword?
Welcome!

I have leaf zone API I add every week.

Amazon swords are root feeders, meaning they get the nutrients they need through their roots, liquid ferts won't really help, root tabs are a much better option, once you add them, your amazon sword will flourish

Oh, and my fish tank is 20 gallons long.
