how many plants?
I have what will probably seem to most as a very basic question but I really
would like to hear some opinions. I am starting a 29 gallon South American
biotope aquarium. The following is a list of plants I intend to use:
2 Echinidorus paniculatus (Amazon sword)
5 Echinidorus tenellus (Dward sword)
1 Hydrocotle leucocephala (water pennywort)
8 Alternathera (green Alternathera)
First, are these enough plants to start with? After looking at the list, I am
starting to think not. There is, however, a large piece of driftwood taking up
some space.
I will be using 60 watts of light, and CO2 via yeast method. I have laterite
in the substrate and will use Tetra Flora Pride and Hilena Crypto. The pH is
7.0, KH - 71.6 and GH - 53.7. I do not plan on testing iron, I will just "eye
ball" my plants and adjust accordingly. Does anyone have any opinions
regarding the types of plants I have chosen and have any words of advice as it
pertains to your own experience with these plants? Thanks to everyone for
your help
