Okay, thanks. In fact, I already worked through the duckweed index, but I guess I am still too blind to identify the causes :). The "melting" of the limnobium did really confuse me.
Too bad, I really like the h. aristata. Especially the roots.
Would you go for trying to raise Mg first and...
Ok, thanks, I will do as you say.
I was cutting a little bit short on the botanicals, because the wood is tinting the water so much, that i really are at the point of too dark water. But maybe this is just subjective :)
Okay, thanks.

Hello everyone,
I have a problem in my larger tank, the 240-liter aquarium. Ever since I set it up, my plants have been dying off, especially the floating plants. Limnobium laevigatum and hygroryza aristata in particular.
Today I noticed that I can clearly see the leaf veins on the floating H...
I once had them (1,1) in a 175 litre tank with dense plant growth with pH around 6 and ec in the 90 to 120 us/cm. They spawned in there but the fry never became free swimming.
I had the "Santa isabel" Form. At least they were sold as such.
There was more aggression between them than...
Cool! I am really glad that it worked out for you. Sounds like a nice fish you got there.
Just in case it was a parasite, I'd keep an eye on the female too. It might be nothing, but since they were together for a while, the other fish could have been affected as well.
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to get a few Echinodorus plants this summer and try growing them on my balcony—emerse, of course.
Since my balcony faces south and can get quite windy at times, I was thinking of Argentinensis or Palifolius.
Does anyone have experience with growing Echinodorus...
I'm really glad to see that your fish is looking better than in the first picture, and I hope she makes it.
However, Mac and Darrel do have a point. You should at least be aware that if the fish can't manage to avoid each other in your tank, you may only have saved the female for a short time...
If the fish in the second photo really is a male (looks like one, but as Mac said, bad conditioned) it might be the case that the female is trying to animate him to spawn. That sometimes does look like beeing bossy.
