水草情迷

"One more question... Should I add fertilizer during the treatment?
Most of 鹿角矮珍珠 are dead, is it the cause of I didn't add the fertilizer these days? Or the cause of temperature? Their roots turned brown and disssolved"

You may continue to add fertilizers during the treatment. BTW, increase the CO2 supply to 3-4 bubbles per sec. That helps. Just watch out if fishes suffocate. Besides, what exactly is your lighting schedule? You mentioned "一日8小時(12pm-4am & 9 pm-1am)". You mean 12:00pm-4:00pm and 9:00pm-1:00am? That's 9 hours. You'd better keep at least one session of 8 hours.

Thanks... I already changed the lighting schedule from 2 sessions to 1 session! Now is 4pm-12am... Do you think this period is suitable for plants?

Do you know which iron fertilizer is good for red plants? My own iron fertilizer (P&P) is almost finish and I don't think this one is effective.

Ideally, the lighting schedule should be in line with the natural system, for example, 10:00am-6:00pm, though mine is not. For the Iron fertilizer, I'm using Seachem. But you must note that iron is not the only thing that make your plants red. There's a lot more, such as CO2 supply, lighting, water condition, etc.

Oh... Thanks C Hing
It seems so difficult to make the plants red, do you add the Iron fertilizer daily?
Do you know how to cut the plants and make it like a ball shape?

Yes, I add 2-3ml Seachem Iron daily for my tank. There are several reasons why red plants not growing red. But for your case, I'd suggest you change your lighting schedule first and see if that helps.

For the ball shape, let other c hing helps.

其實只有強光和co2 ,水草已經可以生長得好好, 因為本身你會有喂魚, 已經系 肥料=]

牛頓 系需要強光= ]

Oh... I didn't take any picture and I already cut off the withering part.
Is it need the strong lighting?

斌斌 already mentioned that 牛頓草 requires strong light. Personally, I don't have any experience in 牛頓草.

Hah... Okok
thanks Fish Fan

牛頓草種得靚既時候, 頂葉會變微紅色=]
其實牛頓幾難種= ='
你要加油'

哈...我d牛頓頂葉有微紅色(只有好小) 係mei代表它們健康?
我之前o係C水族買了12支牛頓(大約4個月前),現在只有3支存活,仲一直生高及爆頭,
現在已經將它們分株了,希望它們會健康生長

鹿角矮珍珠本來生長得ok,但係分株後就全軍覆沒...
