Looks like a beautiful healthy Hornwort to me

Neil

LOl, thank you, as long as its beneficial for the tank.
Whats the rule of plant nutrients when Cycling a tank? one of the fish might be full of fry's so trying to take precaution for them to have a place to hide, so I want the plants healthy.

Thanks!!

Isabella

You mean how to feed your plants? Low light plants such as Anubias, Java Ferns, and Java Moss can survive without fertilization (without feeding the plants via liquid fertilizers). I think Water Sprite and Hornwort can survive on fish wates alone too (i.e. no liquid ferts added). If you want to add fertilizers, Seachem's Flourish is a good liquid fertilizer.

Thanks! play it by ear, have to get a testing kit in the next 2 days anyways.
