stellata mystery solved?
Regarding the color of stellata, and keeping it green:
A couple three weeks ago, I added the usual Flourish
after a water change. In addition I added P, N, and
Fe (which I normally do not do). Stellata became
noticeably more green.
This past week, after the weekly water change, I added
the usual Flourish, and on a hunch, only added the Fe
(not the P and N). Same effect. Stellata became
noticeably more green. I should mention that I do not
have an iron test kit.
So at least for me, stellata seems to be iron limited.
And this is in a tank that gets daily red meat
(discus food).
So if anyone else has non-green stellata, maybe you
can try adding Fe, and let us know if it makes it
green.
