[GSAS-Member] Plant Nutriant Ideas & Discus Trade

["Susan Welenofsky" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

I had great luck when I put a layer of peat down before the gravel/sand
mixture with my plants growing well. My Amazons did great. I?ve also thought
of doing a dirt tank bottom, even just a light layer of ¼?. Of course it can
be messy, but all my plants did well. I noticed my Crypts melted when they
were disturbed, OR when there was too great of a pH change, such as the in
CO2 injected shrimp tank with a 60% or more water change. 

 

I?ve heard an iron deficiency can make the leaves look spotty or yellowish?
I wonder if anyone has tried burying some rusty nails in the substrate.

 

I have a really bossy female discus that won?t let the other female discus
lay her eggs and eats them. She is a really beautiful heavily blue-veined
fish about the size of my hand spread out. I was wondering if someone has a
known male discus I could trade her for. Both female fish are gorgeous, but
I kind of like the yellow and red in the smaller one, and she has a yellow
eye, so would like to keep her.

 

I also have three fat female cory schwartii and was wondering if anyone had
a male they would like to exchange for a female.
