So I've had my tank set up since the beginning of February. In that time I initially had a 60l but upgraded to a 160l.
First fish I introduced were 6 leopard cories, 4 died which was upsetting but the remaining 2 kept going and as of yesterday I now have added 2 baby cories (I think they are Julii and not leopard but look the same) and 4 Molly.
How can I get my Hydrocotyle tripartiti to grow like a carpet?
I suppose my set up is low tech, with an allpondsolutions HOB filter (which I don't love as it makes a weird noise if the water level isn't high enough and it is so big!), a light and a thermometer.
I dose with TNC every 1 to 2 weeks and the plants are mostly growing well.
I recently removed as much dukweed as I could from the surface as it was getting out of hand. Still have tons of tiny snails but they seem to remain tiny and only a few have reached a larger size.
Annoyingly I already want to rescape it as although I want it plant heavy, I want to see more of the fish but i don't think that is something I should do again so soon.
