I have some java moss in my new fish/ QT tank and I'd like to move some into an empty low light area of another tank - but I'm not 100% sure the new fish are disease free yet. Is there a way to kill any possible yucky things to move it?
#2
I have some lovely cabomba and some stems are a nice green but some are getting pale and transparent-y. I have root tabs and some homemade osmocote tabs in there and it seems to keep the plants alive but they aren't thriving. These plants are in a section of the tank that actually gets direct sunlight. Is it possible that they are getting too much light? Or is it a deficiency? (20g long, sand substrate, 1 bolivian ram, 6 neon tetra, 5 Cory and an albino bristlenose pleco.)
My nitrates are in the 10-20 ppm range - the API test kit is hard to tell between those two! Could this be too high and causing the problem?
Thanks so much for any help!
