Hi guys, Its safe to say my tank has gone through some neglect over the past couple of months. That said I've done a water change every week without fail (60%) and kept up with the fertilising. Even when I was on top of the maintenance I still have this problem with old leafs discolouring and...

Hi all, I've had some Hydrocotyle Tripartita in my tank now for a few weeks but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've heard this should grow like a weed but it seems not in my tank. I've seen slow but healthy growth from nearly all of my plants apart from this one so I'm a bit stumped...

Hello all. I've had Ranunculus inundatus in my tank for about 4 weeks now however it's losing it's head and is only steps left on most of it. Is this due to deficiency or is it transitioning from emerged form? Lee

Anyone got the latin name for the narrow leaf java fern? I'm trying to source some but i think my problem is i'm using the wrong name!

Hiu Guys, I've been sent some cherry shrimp today and am wanting to stick some moss in with them. The tank wont have CO2, nor will it have high light. Will moss grow well in these conditions?

Hi guys, I moved my Limnophilia aromatica and also trimmed it a short while after. Now some, not all, of the leafs on some stems are browning and turning to mush. Whats the cause of this? Lack of light? Circulation of CO2? Newer growth is fine so its not like the entire plant is dying. Im...

Hi guys, My P. Helferi is growing pretty tall, about 6-8cm at present. does anyone know if I cant treat it as a stem plant and chop the tops off? I do have a few runners which have appeared over the last couple of weeks so I'm unsire as to how to deal with it. Lee

Hi Guys, I've started dosing EI in the past three weeks and added a koralia 2 weeks ago to take mt flow to over the 10x turnover. My Blyxa was in pretty bad shape being reduced to pretty much a thumb sized plant. I've since added some more and the inevitable happened as it started to melt...

HI Guys, I have an empty space where i removed some plants that were too big and i kinda think something thats thin stemmed and is small leafed would look good there. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? Something that is low growing would be even better.

Hi Guys, After receiving some Blyxia from James it melted down and as expected then started growing again. At this moment theres only about 2" tips left but this is where the new vibrant growth started. The stems rotted away so this is all i am left with. Theres new root growth at the majority...

Hi Guys, The blyxia I was given by James has had a odd change happen. The tips are going brown. Not a colour of dying but almost like the colour your red stems go when under good light. I'm sure james had more lighting than me so it cant be that. Any ideas?? Pics below: I notice as...

Hi guys, My Crypt wendtii's have gone a bit mental and are overgrown somewhat. How do you guys go about maintaining this plant? Just pull the leafs off or do something a little less brutal? I'm amazed at the site they will grow to in height as well as width. All comments welcome!

Hi Guys, while my 2 beloved angels are alive i'll not be abel to carpet using HC. Any ideas on what i could use thats smaller than E. Tenillus to carpet my foreground? Lee

Does anyone have any bright ideas for getting my HU to stay rooted? I think my angelfish and gourami's might be pulling it up but i cant be sure. Is there anything i can do to either deter them or to anchor the plant down well? My idea of carpeting the HC is going to the dogs!

firstly, here's my tank: I'm looking from something a little bigger than E. Tenillius but smaler than crypt wendtii to blend from the midground to the forground. I'm pretty certain the glosso is going and will be replaced by HC or something slower growing with less demands so with this in...
