After struggling for so many years trying to grow plants sans algae,all of my tanks now have plant's that I can sell or trade for store credit.
Seems now that anything that will hold water ,is fair game for my obsession with the water weeds.
The one lone A rivulatus however ,was not amused with the introduction of weeds to his tank and regularly expresses his displeasure by uprooting.rearranging,the tank to his liking.
I must be careful though not to get so many tanks going that the care becomes too much like a job.
Been there.
