Hello guys,
I'm new to the hobby, especially planted tanks. I bought a 5 gallon tank a month ago. It hasn't got any fish in yet, but I started putting in some plants. I want to create a really nice lay-out and since i'm a beginner, I started with a beginner plant. The amazon sword. This plant (see image) has been sitting in my tank for 3 weeks now. I'm not dosing it any ferts yet, but i'm planning on doing that + roottabs. As you can see it's already growing 3 new leaves.
My question is: I got this plant from the aqua-store, and the leaves were already pruned off. So now I have these bare stalks (as you can see). Is this prohibiting the growth? Should I cut them to the base?
My anubias was inserted 4 weeks ago, and it has already given me a nice flower (see image). When should I cut it off? Or should I just leave it there?
Additional info:
* Light: Aquatic Nature Led -36 RGB
* Filter: Superfish Aqua-Flow 50
* Aquarium: Aquatic Nature Cocoon 2
