I'm still trying to figure out the whole plant thing I've learned quit a bit from where I started but still need some help
Right now I have a 29g with a dual t5 light fixture and a aquaclear 70.
I have 8 pristella tetras, 6 cardinal tetras, 4 corys, 4 otos, 1 dwarf flame gourami, and 5 algae eating shrimp.
My plants include 2 anubius nanas, 2 java ferns, 1tiger lotus, 1 crypt Wendtii red, 1 echindorus grandifolious, 1 red ozelot sword, and a banana plant.
I dose my tank with regular flourish once a week, seachem iron everyday( just got a iron test kit so I'll know if that's sufficient or not) and excel everyday. Now that you have a little info on my setup I'll post my pics with my questions.
Here's a full shot of the tank
The yellow leaf is just sprouted but is that a flower bulb beside it or did it just pop out two leaves at the same time? And is the yellow from a deficiency?
This is a flower bulb on my ozelot will it bloom under water cause it's stopped growing at that height
This is my Wendtii red are those the color of the leaves or is this the crypt melt I've heard of? its been in my tank for two weeks and I haven't noticed any rotting of any kind. And are the leaves supposed to be curled looking like that or is it a deficiency?
These are the leaves of my banana plant these leaves are a couple weeks old but that start to get these thin spots am I correct that it's a potassium deficiency on this one?
And here is the last one this is the second anubius I bought I got it from a different store I got the other one from its never reached the darker green like my other that's buried in the substrate and it really doesn't seem to be developing any roots it's tied on with fishing line am I doing some thing wrong with it? If you have any recommendations on anything I'm doing wrong please let me know like I said I'm still new and am learning
