Hi all,
I’ve just restarted my 20g tank with 2 platies, 1 siamese algae eater (SAE), and 1 kulie loach. I also have 1 anubus as a plant. My tank had black beard algae (BBA) on some petrified wood and the roots and leaves of my anubus. The SAE took care of the BBA on the wood and started on the anubus. The anubus was not anchored to anything, so I decided to glue it to a rock. Afterwards, the SAE stopped eating the BBA on the anubus. Did I do something wrong?
The anubus and rock is flat on the gravel. Should the rock be elevated so the root will dangle downward? Will this make the BBA more appetizing?
Also interested in adding plants and fish (kulie loach, hillstream loach, neon tetras). Should I add fish first or plants?
Thanks,
Dih
