FLORA:
Dwarf hairgrass
Hygro difformis 8 stems
Hygro polysperma 10 stems
Lindernia rotundifolia 10 stems
Hygrophila angustifolia 10 stems
Amazon sword x2
Staurogyne repens 5 stems
7 smallish moss balls
FAUNA:
10X rummy nose
8X white cloud minnows
4X long fin danios
4X albeno cory
2X glowlight rasabora
2X rosey tetra
1X male betta
3X amano shrimp
My fish are all getting along swimmingly i fact one of the most relaxed peacful setups ive had in 10yrs despite the strange mix...my plants are another subject.
All my plants-mainly the sword are browning round the edges. My difformis, nearly every leaf has brown edges.
Hair grass is growing well new shoots every day infact and spreading well.
Polysperma is growing but leafs slightly see through and curling.
My angustifolia is growing but leafs are again browning and some are patchy.
The worst plant is my amazon sword. New leafs have brown veins, see through and are crumpled
I do have diatoms which i think are causing the leaf browning round the edges but the patchyness and glass like leafs im unsure of.
I use root tabs under each plant to provide substate ferts for the sword and stem plant also.
What would tou gus suggest is the culprit? Im going to low my light to 8h but i feel i need more wattage
Ph is another worry as its 7 from the tap but in the tank with co2 it drops to 6?
Help would be appreciated...pics to follow
