Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi everybody... so this is my first planted aquarium. I have a few questions regarding some of my plants. First let me list what I have in the tank.
-dwarf sag
-java moss connected to drift wood
-red ozelot sword
-jungle vallisneria
-micro sword
-chain sword
-money wart
-green hygro
My question is in regard to a few of these plants. A quick background. I have a NO flourecent light with makes about 1.5/gal. It has a healthy number of fish (full). And i fertilize twice a week.
The dwarf sag has been great. Growing veritcally, and maintaining nice green colors... but has yet to develop any shoots or new leaves. What is wrong?
Java moss is going nuts, all is good
micro sword... lost the brilliant green when i first bought the clump, and shortly after seemed to drastically shrink in size. Pretty stable now, although the color isn't as green as it has some yellower leaves. Is this a high light plant?
red ozelot sword - very deep red, very pretty and growing alot of new leaves from the center, but no flower yet.
jungle valisneria - new long leaves, huge ones actually but no shoots why?
chain sword - almost died, lost almost all the leaves, replanted it and noticed the roots were all in a ball from the store.. i sorted them out and spread them when i replanted it, and now im seeing new leaves springing up
money wart... growing still bright green
green hygro... the stuff is going nuts, i have to trim it about once a week
my question is.. why am i having problems with a few of these plants. Is there a secret. Are some of them high light that I just don't have enough wattage for? Or why are they stable but not reproducing. All of the ones above that say Why? im kinda looking for some help on
