oOmine is a permanently emersed setup

just use potting soil! I'm actually sick of containers. I'm going to plant the belem from MF in a normal pot :P

It should do fine. I was growing the DHG belem without the aid of plastic wrap. Just keep the soil saturated and mist a few times a day.

So my CPDs look pretty pale and I never see them eat. For those that have them, what do CPDs tend to favor?

When I still had mine, they enjoyed freeze dried bloodworm. Try frozen/live foods and see if they react to that. Also, they feel more comfortable with plant cover.

@cprash

i started my cpds with various flakes which was adamantly ignored then golden pearls which they love! but its so expensive so now i feed them nano bites, which they are willing to eat.

I am not 100% sure, but I feel like I remember reading it is 1ml per gallon.

Monster Fish · 11-14-2012, 05:12 AM

5ml is a bit much. Which plant has the BGA? Note, some plants might melt with H2O2.

aokashi · 11-14-2012, 05:50 AM

not my tank

I've dosed hydrogen peroxide before for a plant already infected with BGA, but it was in a fishless tank. how long for the stuff to fully react?

eeng168 · 11-14-2012, 05:56 AM

I was talking about treating a specific section of the tank. I fill up the syring and squirt away. I squirt it on my fissidens and it was still ok. If people rinse their mouth with it, it shouldn't do much harm in the tank.

Good thing is after I got rid of it, it didn't come back.
