Ok so I have a few issues with my plants, especially my amazon sword.
I recently had some ammonia problems and I don't believe the tank was never really cycled correctly 100%, then overstocked at some points, and so on.
Ever since I took fish out, it started to get yellow as you see. I know fish produce waste that the plants need, am I understocked with 10 congos' 2.5", 1 4" pearl gourami, 1 2.5" cory??
These are some of the other plants that were doing fine before I moved a bunch of fish to my 25L and did a water change on the 90 (cleaning the filters at the same time, I know, bad move.)
See how they just shriveled up into nothingness? That was a onion plant, I believe that was the name of it, but it started to turn yellow. I'm guessing ammonia.
Ammonia was at .50, but nitrates were 0, and nitrites were 0. But they were never higher as you would see in a correct cycle. So there was never a incline then decrease.
Now in my 25L, I am starting to see a lil bit of a problem with my baby swords. Notice the leaf starting to decay.... I do know that swords do not repair themselves so leaves should be taken off. Should I leave that one be? Or take off the leaf?
As you can see I bought the master test kit, instead of using these damned strips *crap*.
I bought the flourish tabs, and the flourish liquid. Question, do they do the same thing? I was thinking that the tabs would be nutrients for the substrate and the liquid would be more just floating around the plants leaves absorbing it in that fashion. I could be totally wrong. Just a guess.
Plz :help: :grinyes:
