Anubis Care

[Fishy friend2]

What wattage do anubias nana require, do they need co2, or fertilizer and my wattage is 3 WPG do you think that this is enough

 

[Man of fish]

How large is the tank? Sometimes it's not just watts per gallon sometimes it is total wattage I believe.

 

[Fishy friend2]

5 gallons

 

[Man of fish]

Yes so 15 watts if I am correct anubias is able to live with that low light but will grow slowly. No ferts or co2 required. Remember you cannot plant these directly into the substrate.

No ferts or co2 required.

I always hate that statement lol

No ferts or co2 required.

I always hate that statement lol

why?

 

[Fishy friend2]

Okay thanks for the help, and why do you hate that statement?

 

[Man of fish]

Yeah why do you hate it? Makes no sense why you would?

Btw if you plant anubias into the substrate it will die. You can attach it to your decorations with thread fishing line or some people use super glue but....

 

[Fishy friend2]

Oh okay, i will probably plant it my cave then, but it still can go into the gravel, right? because you can bury the roots but not the rhizome, I am very new to this so I have no idea if it is true

 

[Man of fish]

I think so but I'm not sure what you could do though is attach it to a piece of slate or something and brush some gravel over the slate. (suggested to me by eaglesaquarium)

K,

tis a true fact...

all plants need C02 and ferts in some way, some are just a little more needy than others.

 

[Man of fish]

Ok no added co2 or ferts. Lol
Is everybody happy now? Lol

 

[This Old Spouse]

Still wondering what you meant.
