Baby tears needs more CO2 than parvula. Was it definitely parvula you had? I've grown it in non CO2 tanks, Eleo mini needs CO2. Try sagittaria subulata if your looking for a grass like plant, if you keep plucking out the longer stems it stays short.

Eleocharis parvula would be a good foreground plant or cryptocoryne parva

Must have been something in the water, it's usually the most obvious thing that does it. I would add some carbon into the filter incase there was something in the water, some Prime and Stability. Prime can also detoxify ammonia for 24 hours to give you a break.

Did you remember to use dechloranator?

Is the tank just set up?

You will notice far more growth with the roots exposed, I actually think it looks more natural when grown on something.

My 240 litre in full swing, no CO2, no soil base layer just gravel, easycarbo,Tropica premium fertiliser, 2xT5 arcadia plant pro bulbs, JBL substrate balls.

You can get away with it for a while, but eventually if the rhizomes are covered they rot. http://www.tropica.com/en/plants/plant-articles/microsorum.aspx

1 week ago Today, ready for new year changes to planting - love doing a new year change!

If that's Java fern along the back of the tank you can't plant it, Java fern has to be attached to wood or rock, or the roots just rot.

Sick-lid

Don't think the previous posts writers had actually read your question. That list is 99% African Cichlids, buffer may be required depending on your tap water ph. Stocking will depend on your filtration, though it's a good sized tank. A quick look at the list shows only the Jaguar is Central...

Some of my new Dwarfs, Apisto hongsloi Nannacara anomala

Formaldehyde is used in many fish treatments, fresh and marine - fantastic for brooklynella in Clowns. I'd treat white spot on apisto's with Seachem Paraguard.

Genghis says hi to your female Rivercats!

My 4 year old weather loach.

I put my Discus in around the same time as you, put 4 in and had to remove one a week ago as it was being picked on relentlessly, waiting on 3 new ones to arrive.

Eheim Ecco 300 (2236) or any of the Eheim classic range as they are one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I have ever owned.

I'd maybe try a different looking species like nothobranchius.

I'd maybe take the JD out until he recovers.

Plant buying obsession!

My pretty dinner plates, and I thought silver dollars where poor men's discus, lol.

You can roll the eggs down the glass with your finger, I usually move a few into the plants for some cover - sticky little things. I never use any meds for Cory eggs as I never seem to have a problem with them, unlike Ram eggs.

I'd just leave them be, good chance they start laying regularly at which point you have quite a few fry allowing for losses. Make sure you cover your filter inlet if its got large grills - fry tend to be sucked in. You might also find that the eggs have not been fertilised. My Cory's go on an...

Over filter - i filter for 800 litres in my 240 litre, huge weekly water changes and regular maintenance, trimming cleaning etc
