40 gallon breeder - CRS tank

**AzFishKid** · 12-13-2010, 07:44 PM

Got any advice on how to keep ludwigia inclinata from shedding it's leaves near the bottom of the stem? Does it require really high light?

I can send you more after the new year if mine survive my winter break... I have an erio they won't touch! Nothing eats it because it smells bad :P

as far as downoi they would munch on dead leaves
They absolutely love to eat tonina - it is by far their favorite - shame really as I would love to keep tonina/erio/styro only species in here.

Inclinata is a sensitive one - the lower leaves need to get light. Seems to be fairly sensitive to micros and K - loses leaves really easy if these aren't happy.

now I'm curious - what type is your stinky erio?

setaceum 'thailand and setaceum 'australia' aka type III

Hey skewlboy! What is the temperature of the tank??? you listed both 72 deg in an earlier post and 75 degs a few posts after that...or does the temperature fluctuate between 72-75?

skewlboy · 12-21-2010, 04:42 AM

heater kicks on at 72, chiller kicks on at 75 - (winter summer thing)
