Update on my 55G Planted

[enchanted]

I added a DIY CO2 System and some more fertilizers. I'm not sure what's going on with my Tropic Sunset and Primrose. They are growing, but the Primrose has some strange colors. Last night it acted like a rose and closed up bringing all the leaves inward and up. If I had known where my camera was I would have gotten a shot. The Tropic sunset is growing but doesn't look right either. Any advice is welcome.

Yes, this is the same amazon sword. I just trimmed it up good and it has been recovering.

Primrose (Ludwiga Repens)

Looking good ddreams . Amazons are such a beautiful plant, I have one in my 55g too.

I do like the Amazon. I just wish I had been setup properly prior to getting it. I had no idea it needed the lighting, etc... that it does.

I'm slowly nursing it back to health and it is looking a lot better.

I'm hoping the Tropic sunset and primrose start to look better.

I caught the primrose doing it again tonight.

I don't get it. Anyone know why it is doing this? Not all are doing it either.

So that's what my plants are... hehehe... I bought some of those (Primrose) to put in my tank and completely forgot what they were called. lol Most plants actually "close up" at night. It's a normal plant thing. Even for non-aquatic plants. Just make sure that their roots are growing and they aren't rotting at the bottoms or loosing leaves. I got a bad bunch of them, and only two of the plants survived. Yours look great! Keep up the good work.

I will say this much, this tank eats fertilizer like it's nothing.

Over 3 boxes of Flourish tabs in this tank and I just ordered another one tonight. I'm dreading the 3 to 4 month change out when I need to add another 4 boxes.

But, they all are starting to look better.

On the amazon sword in the first pic, is that an otto on the leaf?
