      Well just let it do it's thing, check for ammonia and nitrites being 0ppm and then keep the nitrates between 0 and 60 to 80 ppm max... and if anything dies let me know haha

    Be careful adding Amazonia! You’ll have an ammonia spike

    • @Fishtory
      @Fishtory  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally! I was mentioning that ill be adding a cup every 3 days or so, then do water changes 2 or 3 days later...then repeated (spreading it out and folding it into the old substrate, which i removed about 4 gallons of in this video.)
      I should have made that more clear probably...since many people would toss a whole bag in and unwittingly kill everyone in the tank.

    • @Fishtory
      @Fishtory  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hygrophila polysperma rosevrig sunrise aka illegal to buy or sell in most US states...in my state you can't buy or sell it- or transfer it to natural bodies of water- however if it ends up mixed in with a plant auction, stuck on your boat prop, or accidentally sent to you in a free package of plants....then you can have it.

    • @Fishtory

      It is very beautiful and under high lights and co2 + fertz...those white veins turn electic yellow, then peach then pink....the leaves then turn from green to yellow to pink as well!

    The guppies look beautiful viewed from above also. I've noticed that the flow on your hang on backs is relatively low. Is that by design? Thank you. Safe home.

    I finally got all my tanks growing really well. Now it's just a problem of what to with the cuttings/sprouts. No one seems to want the stem plants and I feel bad just throwing it out.

    • @Fishtory
      @Fishtory  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know! I love stem plants...to the point where like 75% of my 30 tanks have them lol...they are tricky...but if you get some rare or desirable species, selling online and shipping is pretty easy money?
