Stiphodon
Seedling
Hi,
Many of my plants are struggling, the java moss is really the only one doing well. I was looking at getting TNC Carbon and TNC Complete, and was wondering are these definitely cherry shrimp safe? It seems the latter is safe with acclimatised doses, but there isn't much info about the first. Other products I've seen are Flourish Excel and some AquaCare fertiliser tablets/Colombo FloraGrow Carbo/Microbe-Lift CO2 - are these any good and shrimp safe? Any other recommendations? Also, is it a good idea to use both fertiliser and CO2?
I had some issues with my shrimp and moulting at first, but I have ~40 now I think, so the population has increased tenfold. They share the tank with Rasboras and Stiphodons, and hopefully some Threadfin Rainbowfish in the next few weeks.
Tank params:
KH - 7-8 drops, ~135ppm
GH - 9-10 drops, ~170ppm
pH - 7-7.5
TDS - ~200ppm
Temp - 22/23C
Light - 70LED 8W ~8hrs per day
Size - Aqua Expert 70L
Pump - SuperFish Aqua-Flow 6W, 400L/h
Contents (not sure if relevant) - bogwood, mineral stones, small rock, Pogostemon helferi, Eleocharis acicularis, Vallisneria, Crytocoryne walkeri and Cabomba aquatica(?), Java Moss
Thanks
