I would leave the stems alone until the plant is thriving. Root tab supplementation probably would help in this case as I believe banana plants are primarily root feeders that store nutrients in the “bananas”. Could be wrong on that but that’s how I’ve understood them. With this being said, couldn’t hurt anyway to attempt to add nutrients to correct the deficiency via the substrate. It would make sure your plant is getting them and with the easy green (water column dosing) as well as the lighting schedule you have would attack quite a few of the listed ways for optimum growth. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/banana-plant-an-unusual-aquarium-plant-for-beginners also make sure your tubers or (bananas) aren’t suffocating

Yes sorry the egg shells will float, everything looks normal

I used to use that one a long time ago, make sure your using the correct amount of salt then honestly it’s just sit and wait. I feel like (unconfirmed) due to the lack of an airstone and water movement this one takes on the higher end of the 24-36 hrs but it works. You will probably also find when they hatch you have to scoop multiple times to get the vast majority of them. Also probably a bit slower hatch at 72 then 78-80

Not a plant expert but it appears to be a nutrient deficiency of some sort. Questions that will help diagnose: 1. What are water params? 2. What is the substrate used? 3. Any ferts, c02 or root tabs 4. what light/ lighting schedule is used? here’s a bit of info that may prove helpful as well https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/plant-nutrient-deficiencies

Hey all, how often do you guys use your vitachem and how do you dose it? Anything fancy or just in water or soaked food? What have you noticed using it?
-
Lol it’s alright the info seems still beneficial in a way bc they love live worms and the caves provide line if sight breaks/ hiding places for the rest to get away from my aggressive dominant male… can’t hurt
-
Love that channel

@Guppysnail I have some tiny terracotta pots for caves for now and a ton of live worms, lacking plants but hornwort it is I suppose thank you so much gonna try to set up the tank using this advice

My cyano was black just fyi not saying that’s the case for you just saying in case it turns out to be…hopefully someone still comments if not maybe I will test pristine myself and come back to the page, I can never get enough seachem products
-
Sounds like Cyanobacteria, could be wrong but that was my first thought when you said sludge that wipes off, I had that, treated it with Maracyn…could be something different in your case just thought I would mention it… I haven’t used pristine yet but I swear by seachem so I’m also following to see what people say…

In theory I believe yes depending on all ingredients…I use a natural clay based kitty litter in quite a few of my tanks as a substrate when I run low on sand or gravel or just to build it up/ possible ammonia nullification so I think something along those lines could work if applied properly…it sounds similar just it’s kitty litter bio balls in a hob as opposed to kitty litter as a substrate…I’m no expert but that’s my 2 cents lol

Hey all, so I just got to watch my Scarlet Badis breed after a feeding of grindle worms. Pretty cool. Problem is I don’t see any eggs. What are the chances that the fry hatch if there are any, and survive in a tank with other scarlet Badis in it? I think I already know the answer but figured I would ask anyway.
-
@Guppysnail guess I will have to try shrimp, although they have already severely dwindled in number
-
@Guppysnail try a hikari massivore pellet sometime

Hey all, just a quick post about planaria… these cheap test tube looking traps seem to work really well, this is only after an hour or so… that’s all, 🙂
