Any sifu here keep livebearer fish in their planted tank? As I know plant prefer soft water but livebearer fish prefer hard water.

@Foxngn
Do you add salt into your fish tank? And what plant did you kept during that time?

@pinchboyz
no la...just want to be sure whether plants can tolerate low salinity or not ma..

Let say if I don't have co2 injection in my tank, is it constant aeration will be better than nothing? I think constant air exchange at least would maintain a constant co2 and o2 level in the water. Am I right? ; )

Anybody can confirm whether it is water sprite?

coral chips inside filter should taken out for planted tank?

@radver
Bought it yesterday, today already start pearling ; )

Added on November 29, 2010, 10:13 pmArhh..my water sprite seems like growing some black spot "tar" on their leaves and stems. Is that red algae or what? It makes my water sprite very ugly.

Why my water sprite more and more stem and leave turn to black color and dying? Is it can be high pH and high hardness?

Anybody can advice me regarding my water sprite problems? Please?

Any sifu can help me to identify this plant?


Thanks in advance.
