Planted 5 gallon

[Fishnerd360]

Picked up some more plants(rotala indica and ludwigia broadleaf), 1 nerite snail I think, and 3 sparkling gouramis. The nano rasboras were too much same as badis’s.

Good decision!


However:

 

[Fishnerd360]

Right now I’m acclimating the fish and plants(looking for any unwanted snails), will get pics as soon as they are in the tank.

 

[Fishnerd360]

I have a bunch more plants even though I bought only 2 bunches of plants. The gouramis are hiding.

Here are the extras.

How much and often should I dose seachem iron?

How much and often should I dose seachem iron?

I’d do once a week. Then increase if the plants aren’t doing much. Watch ur plants. They should grow and the color should get better.

 

[Fishnerd360]

Is a 1/2 a teaspoon a week good, I heard that I should do less if they’re shrimps?

 

[Fishnerd360]

They are out exploring. Will clean out algae tomorrow, notice I have 2 big ones and 1 little fella here.

Yes. It’s a good start. Then slowly up the dose. Should be safe with shrimp.
