Fertilizers and Apistos

[lemonlime]

I've decided to plant my tank and have invested quite a bit of time researching the workings of planted aquaria. I've had moderate success breeding apistos and was curious about the effect of the different fertilizers on the fish? Although these ferts quite dilute they surely raise TDS. Spawning is my ultimate goal.

Am I overly concerned?

I add a whole mess of different stuff (fertelizers, trace suplements, vitamin suplements) to my RO water to create water for my community/show tank. In it my trifasciata spawn whenever I feed high enough quality food.

you should have no problems. Just follow the instructions on the label and use one fertilizer only. Too much fertilizer will pollute your tank water which is the real danger rather than raising TDS
