nitrates get chewed up by my hornwart


Or "Ceratophyllum demersum" is a fast grower, good idea for Osacar's
since they like to shread them...hehe. Do you actually test for the
nitrate. Hornwart, can cause problems with nitrate's due to the
sometimes messy nature of it. Anything in the tank, that degrades,
release's nitrates. Food, fecal matter, dead plants ect.

AS for the behaviour, are they acting more normal now, O's can become
"shy", they also like a varied diet, you might like to try floating
chilid pellets, bloodworm both frozen and freeze dried. Beafheart, is
another favorite, as well as earthworms.
