Fletch Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Lol. That variegated plant is the very rare annubia that has suffered nutrient defficience (potassium???) with a bit of black beard algae and lovely new shoots on the ends. ROFL. Thanks Ness, feel so much better now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 HAHhahahahaha ohhhhhhhhhhhh - I think I have some "spotted java fern" doing something similar. LOOKS EXOTIC.... anubias likes my tanks, I wanted a spotty version.... now I know how to achieve it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Tank is looking gorgeous Busman! Is that the HM in the front? I've never gotten mine growing so lush, just have no patience for it Do you have a background on this tank, I forget? Not a fan of the mixture of tetra But I loves them angels, loaches and bristlynosies. Did I see a peppermint? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks Ness. My java fern used to go like that and from what I have learnt, it's potassium. Since I started with the Aquagreen products, all good. @Sarah. Thanks. That is HM at the front. It was pretty sick before with bright green tops and the rest was rust coloured. Has really come back now. Yes, that is a male peppermint. :-). Tank is about to be pulled apart as I want to do a natural tank. My biggest issue is my substrate which had cichlids in mind. It is full of shellgrit so ph is always 7.8 approx. Hopefully I will do what Shadoh is about to do. I may try a smaller tank first as a trial run. Not sure, depends on my patience.

Matt_95 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Glad that lotus is doing well, it was only a few days old, if the leaves get to long or big snip them off to train it to size :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Are the lotus low light Matt? What do you think of it's growth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 :hijack: Hey Matt, my lotus has very long stems, should I cut them off and let the plant re-sprout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yes they are although they tend to be much more compact in high light. Its growth looks fien and very quick, the dino dung will be doing it wonders I would if it were mine, depends what look you like, they are actaully like water lillies with floating leaves so they try to reach the top.
