Fish Addict
Do I need to add some new plants in the tank (the same ones as before)? Because I feel like I need to add in a few more plants for the tetras to hide in.
Good point.If you decide to repot some Ambulia, just be wary of light penetration at the bottom. Since you have the majority of the top covered, light levels won't be as high, and the plant may become leggy. I usually end up trimming Ambuila every couple of weeks so it doesn't become leggy. You could also take some of the Vallisnaria runners and plant them in the sand.
Good point. I wouldn't want to risk overstocking the tank of diseases. At least I've got 23 fish total (including the eldest trio, 20 new silvertips) now. I am continuing to monitor the new fish for a few more days and will take reasonable action if any fish have disease. I can't have three tanks in the house, but I have a spare near-5 gallon tank for temporary fry raising.Don't add anymore tetras to the tank. Each time you add new fish you risk introducing diseases. If you want more silvertips, breed the ones you have.![]()
