I have a few questions about these plants.
First, can you identify the 2 sword plants? They were sold as "assorted swords" at Petco.
Second, did i tie my baby java ferns to the driftwood correctly? I tied the roots to the driftwood with cotton thread and they seem to be growing but just making sure. Ive never done it before.
Third, did i plant the Anubias correctly? I tied it with cotton thread to a piece of slate from Petco that i broke up.
Fourth, my Java Ferns are getting some brown spots on them and one is looking a little washed out (grayish) on a couple leaves. What is that from?
Some background-This is a brand new 29 gallon tank. Life-Glo 20w 6700k light. API plant food once a week. I just got another water sprite yesterday so I will now have more shade than i've had the past 3 weeks. The tank is cycling. Ammonia has been at 0.50 ppm for 3 weeks since its in my tap water but yesterday it was 0.25 for the first time so its going down finally. Nitrites were 5ppm and nitrates were 20 ppm. I did a 50% water change and will do that daily until nitrites are down.
