Why Your Aquarium Plants Aren't Growing | TOP 6 REASONS

[@catfishm.1361]

Start with 2 to 3 inches of a nutrient rich fish safe soil not sand unless it’s mixed well with the soil because it gets to compacted. Certain plants need root tabs others need water column feeding. Goodluck! 👍🏻

Thank you for the tips, but what type of food do you recommend for guppy fry?

[@AussieFishKeeping.]

Thank you 🙏 I would recommend Baby Brine Shrimp ☺️

[@NatashaReeder]

Live baby brine shrimp or tiny pellets or flakes just make sure you grind it up first.

U can feed them also boiled egg yolk

Do you have any tips for melting plants? I had a jungle of anacharis growing well in the front of my tank , and when I moved them to the back of my tank (cuz they were blocking my view), they melted and I don't know why. I've got 2 scrawny half stems left.

Plants will melt back from the shock of the relocation. They’ll be back again after roots establish

[@AussieFishKeeping.]

Yeah, I would also say it has something to do with the shock of them being moved but once the roots settle in they should thrive again. Just make sure your water is at optimal parameters while the roots are reestablishing. ☺️

You have too much algae that's not really the plant you want to be growing.

[@AussieFishKeeping.]

I find algae to be super beneficial in my aquariums, especially if it’s controlled correctly. I made a video recently on some of the benefits that come with keeping algae in your aquarium. ☺️

[@i_nvade8098]

@AussieFishKeeping. presence of algae means that you don't have enough plants in your tank also either using too much light or not making water changes are the other reasons which causes algae. I been doing this for few years and i can tell by looking at your tanks. You have a few plants. I would expand especially when making a video on how to grow plants. Not trying to be mean but you can definitely see you need more plants. Keep up great work 👍
