Evening All,
It's been a while since I've posted anything here in UKAPS. This tank used to be the home of 'The Full Monty' many moons ago and has gone through many transitions since.
Having long since stopped keeping and breeding Wild Discus, I've sort of kept it simple and around 6 months ago added a nice shoal of Manacapura Red Back Angel Fish.
Believe it or not I ripped out two thirds of the plants in this tank to make room for the Angel Fish.
It almost never recovered to its former planted richness and glory. The Mosses and Trident Java Ferns were washed out and not thriving at all, as was the tall Cryptocoryne Ballansai. That is until I started upping the Iron Supplements, adding more each time and more frequently. Completely ignoring the dosage instructions on the bottle.
I'm rather pleased, not to mention surprised with the results.
