Yup agree BBA cos by dirty filter and sometimes strong current cos it too..
SAE only eat the dead BBA(white color) perhaps you can try to inject seachem excel or phyton git directly to the spot
or trim the infected leaves, let the new leave grow...

@applebee
if it java, i would like to trade with u with my spiky moss....
looking for java moss, a lot of java moss

willing to trade with spiky moss if you want

I've Limnophila sp Vietnam to giveaway if you want.....

Can no problem...if u hv something to trade even better...i think u know my place

For snails, dwarf puffer might be helpful, 1 might be enough to encounter hundreds....or else tweezer can be used either

Haha...
Still have it...come2 to my place...
but I do have some chemical that can cure/at least control BBA...can try also....

Added on October 7, 2011, 2:43 pmHC yup...HG probably not...

Dwarf puffer always work for me to get rid off snails...the snails even dare to come out from soil
The only thing is puffer dont have much choice to eat after all snails are gone...

What brand of potassium you are using?
Usually K will not do any harm to fauna...perhaps your other parameter may cause the issue

if white spot disease...it might bcos of temperature a bit low, not enough aeration or over feed
salt and heater also can treat white spot

Let us know the outcome later huh....
BTW how is your CO2 rate? using solenoid or manual?

try to increase a bit to 3bps....and as long as your fauna not gasping

MTS= Malaysia trumpet snail

rotala wallici & rotala sp najeshen hv that kind of leaves
a picture of ur rotala might b great

glosso is high demand plant
what weijie saying is part of the demand :-)

red one rotala wallichii
green rotala sp. nanjenshan
perhaps you can google to confirm it

btw where do u got those?

perhaps they still in immerse form when u bought it
both almost similar in immerse but wallichii a bit darker and nicer compared to nanjeshan

me personally luv both in immerse instead of submerse
if u want to get normal rotala, immerse leaves will in round shape, it vice versa to wallichii & nanjeshan


forgot to ask, the 2nd pic is it the same plant with wallichi?
if not, if im not mistaken it rotala sp vietnam

submerse = under water like inside your tank
immerse/emersed = above water or with mist or moist environment like u saw it in 88 which they used water mist to keep the humidity

aquatic plants usually stronger in their immerse version, it only need moist environment, co2 from open air, light from indirect sun light. almost all farms using this kind of method to propagate the plant.
LFS also use this method in order to avoid lost.

actually u also can hv ur own farm if u hv shading area around ur house
use any soil including used aqua soil
find container
put soil, then put water above the soil surface
throw trimmed plants from ur tank into the container
cover up it with plastic to keep the humidity for the early stage
if u not lazy spray it every morning, or else just let rain watery the plant
light? morning sunshine
co2? from open air
fert? use old aquarium water

u can try with ur wallichi, it nice when immerse,
or u hv additional tank, u already hv the plant from ur own yard, feel like jimmy oliver
