Hi,
I've been reading this site for a bit but this is my first post. I started planting my tanks almost a year ago and I'm having problems with my smallest, a 2.5 gallon betta tank. The tank was started over a year ago. It started unplanted, then had java moss (got rid of it due to algae problems and it was ugly) and in November I planted one Anubias nana and one Crypt. wendtii. The C. wendtii was growing okay, but the last two leaves it grew look twisted and crumpled. I have C. wendtii in my 5.5 and 10 gallon tanks and it is not showing this. The Anubias appears fine.
My tank specs are:
2.5 gallon Mini-Bowfront tank (the kind you can get at walmart)
original mini Whisper filter
replaced incandescent light with compact flourescent
Heater set at 77 F
one male betta and a bunch of hitchhiking snails that have been eating almost every trace of algae
one Anubias nana and one Crypt. wendtii
regular fish gravel substrate
weekly 25% water changes
Fertilizer: Won Freshwater Green Plant Sol- 1 to 2 drops a week following water change
Ammonia:0 Nitrite:0 Nitrate: 15 (due for water change today)
Thanks
