Hey all. new to the hobby but trying to learn.
I started a new tank with 7 gallon tank with contrasoil and partial sand cap. Amazon swords, Microsword grass, pearl weed, frogbit, a Porthos hanging off the back and several Anubius nana. Over the next couple weeks added 4 endlers, a snail and 3 neo caradina. Did a few water changes to keep ammonia in line. 3 weeks in my Anubius all had bad rot. Some had been super glued on the roots others just stuffed in place but all had bad ryzome rot. I took it into the fish store where I bought it and the said it was from too low nitrate levels and that I should get the levels up and buy more . Indeed they are very low but I cant find anything on line that says this could be a factor.
Thoughts?
