Recently my ferns have been looking 'tired'? For lack of a better word, they just don't seem as bright and full of life as they did, also the flower I had on my anubias has died off. (Not sure if this means anything)
My tank is a 15g and has;
4x java ferns
1x anubias
2x marimo moss ball
2x golden honey gourami
3x harlequin rasborough
6x neon tetra
2x male guppy
8x RCS
1x internal filter
1x 100w heater
1x bubble curtain
1x 18" lighting fixture.
My question is do I need to add anything to help my plants? I've heard a rumour that standard multi vitamins are good but there's no way of throw one into my tank lol. I always hear people talking about co2,root tabs,flourish excel etc. but they always have like 200x the plants I do. Also the guy at the lfs (yeah I know they don't know their fish from their snails) but anyway they said I should be adding co2 and needed more nitrogen because my fish don't produce enough waste?. However he also said I should upgrade my lighting but I did research my plants before I brought them to ensure they are low light plants (I asked around on here for suggestions as well) so I know I don't need extra lighting.
