I ran this question by a couple of days ago and never got a reply.
I'll try again. I have numerous young amazon sword plants that are
growing from their mother plants and have been anchored lightly into
the gravel and have rapidly sent down strong roots and many leaves.
They are around 5-6 inches tall, each plant with 6 or 8 leaves. I am
running out of space to anchor new plantlets and grow out room for all
of these babies and am considering setting up a 10 or 15 gallon tank
just to grow the plants. Does anyone have any suggestions for a
substrate - will stock it with little or no fish - feed it with liquid
ferts and perhaps some Seachem rabbit pellets or plant tabs or make my
own clay balls from compost. I'd like to build a layered substrate
that will take care of the major nutritional needs NPK of the plants
so all I will have to do is add some excel and minor nutrients.
