I have a pretty heavily planted 10 gallon aquarium, mostly rooted plants and some floating. I got some frogbit several months ago and it is not thriving. All the other plants are doing very well. The frogbit looks pale and chewed on.
My other aquarium occupants include 12 very happy neon tetras, a lonely sparkling gourami, 3 otos and some cherry shrimp. They are all doing well. Chemistry is 0 ammonia & a trace of nitrate.
Lighting is a single 18 inch Ultrasun tube and a small LED unit - both on timers; both are on during mid-day for about 6 hrs; then just the Ultrasun for several more hours; then just small LED in evening. Then both off over night of course.
Does frogbit need higher light? Do fish or shrimp EAT frogbit?
