Who Gives A Fish Forums

It's weird, they've never bothered my other plants before, but I guess they just love Nymphoides Hydrophylla Taiwan. I did some research and others have had the same issue with this specific plant. I've only been feeding them once a day, so I'll try feeding them more often, thanks for the tip, coltin.

Just planted a 1-2 grow pot of Nymphoides Hydrophylla Taiwan yesterday and this morning I was shocked to see the leaves badly damaged. Found out it was the amano shrimp that did it - apparently they love munching on it when they're hungry. After doing some reading, seems they have a thing for it ...

I'm assuming the fertilizer dosage is dependent on the types of plants I've got in the tank, just trying to figure out what works best for the long haul and keeping them healthy.

Hi all, I'm running a 34-gallon tank with 14 easy-grow plant varieties and co2 injections, but I'm struggling to balance my fertilizer - I'm using seachem flourish.

I've been doing some reading online and I'm a bit worried I might be overstocked, but I've had the same stock since the start so I'm not sure that's the issue, the only thing that's changed recently is the filter, I swapped out the original aqua one that came with the tank, it had a really strong ...

@starlord yesterday I dosed 3ml of iron and the water was fine, today I've done the same and there's a slight cloudy white colour to it. 3ml was my original dose before I started upping the iron, been following the same dosing schedule for 2 months now and it's only started doing this more regularly ...

Thanks for the advice, I'll dial it back and keep an eye on things, appreciate the help.

I'm thinking its the iron that's causing the cloudy water, nothing else has changed and the extra iron has really kicked the plants into gear. I'm guessing I just need to drop the iron ml, I'm dosing 4 out of 6 days with ferts, Sunday is maintenance day. I had a slight bloom yesterday but the other ...
