I have never owned a fish beyond small bettas when I was 11 but I want to start a piranha aquarium. I have all the money to do so and plenty of space in my home. Any tips on how to get starting??

>3 sword plants
>rose sword is doing fantastic, leaves at least 10 inches long, always putting out new ones
>2 ocelots are withering away and melting off leaves despite root tabs
what gives? I feel like if it was a tank-wide issue then either all swords or all plants would be experiencing it, not just those specific two. can post pics if that would help.
>>
>>5131559
can't hurt.
weird though
tds thing?
>>
>>5131579
my water is hard (around 200-250ppm) but that hasn't affected any other plant, and frankly I am not going through the effort to get RO or distilled water.
>>
>>5131583
I'm simply suggesting you research if that specific plant is subject to water parameters different than the others and your tank conditions

Ocelot and rose swords are pretty much identical in requirements. i think most swords are just cultivars and not separate species.
>>
new to the hobby- i've got a gravid neo in my community tank, what are the odds the babies will survive?
>>
>>5131597
how densely planted is your tank? what fish do you have in it? baby shrimps are pretty good at hiding but they need some tight areas to hide from the really curious fish.
>>
>>5131602
not as dense as it should be (need a better light) but i've got plenty of hiding spots from rocks and drift wood.
and i've got bronze corydoras, kuhli loaches, guppies, longifn zebra danios, and amano shrimp
>>
>>5131610
>bronze cories
fine, will eat shrimplets but only if they sit still and let themselves get sucked up
>kuhli loaches
same
>guppies
curious but fairly slow
>zebra danios
probably the worst, curious and fast and will investigate plants and hiding places
>amanos
harmless except when they decide to scoop eggs right off a female neo
>>
How true is tank size requirements for plants?
Does anubias really require 10 gallons?
>>
>>5131642
a lot of that is rough guideline based on the size of the mature plant. you can get anything growing in any amount of water it doesn't matter.
