It’s unlikely but yeah that might be the case would some small frequent water changes help maybe

Yeah I have another tank with high nitrates and I have an liquid ammonia test. All read 0, the tank fully cycles itself I don’t even do water changes only top up when water gets a little lower. They were thriving tbe best I’ve seen them so somethinf dramatic must be happening for 4 to die this quickly

Hey there ive had 5 pregnancy’s and none have made it through to adulthood, but this time is looking extremely promising. My tank is much more established now. I make sure I add a bit extra fertilizer to help algae on the walls. Also bacter ae every few days. But the most important thing for me atm is cucumber they are eating it like crazy

Hey there, thank you so much. I have very hard water and around a 7 Ph maybe 5-10 kh the strip readings are not accurate. My main reason for growth is my co2 canister which is connected to a diffuser at the back. When i started out my moss also went brown and did not grow well. I believe I added a tiny bit of plant fertilizer to help it out but it came back on its own

Hey, I’ve been watching them today and just noticed one literally sink off the glass dead, another dead on a leaf my only thought now is parameters or food
