When is too many plants?
Hi,
I am failry new at this hobby and I am getting a bigger interest for plants... for some reason they last longer than the fish I put in. :) Anyway, I have a 33gal tank, I believe it is cycled now, the tests show the tanks is stabilized. I've been putting live plants in the tank. I have Cabombas, Anubia, ludwigia, Echinodorus red special, Hygrophila and some others I can't remember the name. So far I have seven live plants... I do want to fill the tank with plants, I am just wondering at what point they're too many? I don't have alot of fish, couple neons, two dwarf gouramis a pleco and a guppy. I also have a lamp, I believe it's a aquaglo lamp, not sure right now. The lfs around here have different plants I just wish there would be more color to them, they're pretty much all green with some being reddish. |

There are too many plants when you can't find a spot on the substrate or driftwood to put another. ;-) Yeah - plants are pretty much green. If you have very bright light, Rotala macranda and Alternantheria Reinckii are very red, and some cryptocorynes go purple. I add other colors with the fish myself. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |
