jedimasterben Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Because it was like $4 and planting substrate is like $40... They'll get enough nutrients through the leaves. The nutrients from the fish poop will be absorbed into teh plants. You will most likely need root tabs, though. I have to use them in all of my planted tanks I've had, I've always used sand. And euphy, you need to get a handful of these: They'll take care of those pesky guppies. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 what more fish getting next? Well I'm probably going to get more in 1-2 weeks. Some babies. The females are preggers if you didn't notice. You will most likely need root tabs, though. I have to use them in all of my planted tanks I've had, I've always used sand. Was ist das? Is that a product or what? What does it do? Link to comment
iball1804 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 You just put these tabs in the sand to substitute for the nutrient-rich actual substrate. I'll give you like 12 for free. Link to comment

Euphyllia Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks Ballz, but I'm good. I won't make you go through the trouble of shipping just for that haha. So how far does this stuff leach out into the substrate? Can I put one every five inches or so, or does it have to be RIGHT under the plant's roots? And when I used to have FW tanks like ten years ago, I had gravel substrate and didn't put any crap in it to give the plants nutrients and they grew like weeds. I had an amazon sword, some tall, thin grass that kinda looked like seaweed, anacharis, some really fuzzy stuff and all sorts of other plants. Everything grew fine. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 OH MAI GAWSH! The REALLY preggerz female is about to drop fry like its hot. She sitting up in the corner at the top of the tank swimming back from one side to the other. The other female is just kinda swimming around the tank with the two pimps. Link to comment
