Tank is ~4.5 months old. Eco complete substrate.

Most of the stem plants are new. Am I okay to use liquid fertilizer only or do I have to do root tabs with this many stems

  1. Gorgeous tank, plants are never too much (as long as there is some open space of course :P)! Liquid fert only works for water column feeders so tabs are the way to go for rooters 🙂

    Not sure if i have much advice for the fertilizer, but i firmly believe that very rarely is a tank (and it’s inhabitents) harmed by “too many plants”.

    As long as the fish has enough space to swim freely, I don’t see why it should cause any concern.

    Here is a photo of my own betta tank, the plants used to be even bigger (“folding” at the surface) so i cut them to free up some space for my girl Dex, and she made sure to flare at me and let me know that she didn’t appreciate having her beds taken from her lol).

    Btw, I only use liquid fertilizer on this tank but, given that these plants are really easy to keep, maybe yours will need some extra attention.
