Hi all,
I have a channa (snakehead) that obviously requires a winter period, during this time the temperature is around 17/18 degrees possibly lower at night and the lights are only on for 5 hrs. Compared to the 24ish degrees and 7hrs (plus natural light from sunrise) it’s at currently.
So the question is should I reduce fert and tab dosing frequency or all together during the wintering time which lasts around 3 months. Most plants I have are capable of lower temps (I think), I did loose amazon frogbit that was in there last winter, but the hornwort I had seemed to thrive.
Current plants-
vallisneria gigantea
potamogeton gayi
hydrocotle leucocephala
hygrophila siamensi, and polysperma
Riccia fluitans
Salvinia Natans
