Twisted vallis dropping leaves
Hello,
We have a fairly well planted tank that contains three echinodourus (not sure of the exact species, but nothing unusual) some Java moss and LOADS of twisted vallis. They are all growing well, especially the vallis. Only problem is that the vallis seem to drop a lot of leaves. I find lengths of them floating around or on the bottom. These vary between one and six inches long. Anything I can do to stop this happening ? The plants look fine and are reproducing faster than I can cope with. I have to pull quite a few out each water change. Tank is 48"x15"x12" with two 4' plant lights (forgotten the make), water conditions generally good, water soft, well established tank, moderate fish population (no heavy vegetarians), DIY CO2, liquid and tablet fertiliser added regularly.. TIA -- Alan Silver Please remove the "furryferret" if replying by e-mail |

Twisted vallis dropping leaves
You said that your Vallis are spreading alot. All I could think of is that
this is nature's way of thinning itself out. Maybe, it's getting too crowded already. What's the pH and hardness levels no your tank? I have had no success with corkscrew val bec. the water is just too soft. Steve "Alan Silver" wrote in message ...
