Hello,
I have a few questions which I hope you can take some time to answer. Here they are:
1. Sagittaria platyphylla - My sagittarias are growing well. They have grown much bigger now and are nice green in color. But I am wondering why their leaf shapes are more pointed at their ends compared to the pictures in the intranet where the leaf shapes are more round. I think the round shapes are a lot better to look at. Is this a deficiency or overdose of something? What could this possibly mean? Please see the attached pic.
2. Unknown crypt - Could you help ID this crypt please? I bought them almost a year ago from an lfs but only started to show some life after I followed dutchy's advice to dose more rather than less. But I don't know what this crypt is. Please see the attached pic.
3. Pearling - Yesterday, I decreased again the light level in my tank and increased the co2 bubble rate as I am still having noticeable bba growth. The lights now are 3 x 25 watts of aquarium cfl on a 30 gallon tank. But I am worried that this light level is now very low for good plant growth. Today, I still see some plant bubbles in my plants (btw, is this called pearling?) around 4 hours after the lights switched on). Now, is it safe to assume that my light levels are still ok because if it is not, then I think the plants wont be pearling?
I appreciate so much your help. Thank you.
