Recommended Posts

Hi every one iv been growing my mosses for quite some time but my fissidens still isn't growing. I think over the last 6 months its grown maby 1-2cm at the most. is this normal or should I be adding more ferts at the moment I'm just using leaf zone which is making every thing else go crazy.

awh ... for growing fiss, need proper light, to grow faster need co2. i even have failed with them, is going brown/ dead before. i just start growing them again now, i have seen light green new growth within a week. but only time will tell. although fish love to eat fiss, too :) so i separate on breeding box at the moment so abit close to the light.

I only have neons a pair of yoyo loach's and some kulihs no plant eaters. Theirs signs of growth which is good but still slow if I put the breeder box closer to the light that might increase growth might try that

dont to close though cause us fiss need cooler water and slightly acidic water (soft water). seems doesnt need co2 to growth. some people even growing them better with low light. cool and soft water is the main important. right now i tried growth in two different tank and see which one better growth as i used t5ho at big tank and led with nano tank.might worth give it a try but if you seen not agood sign might put it back as before :) is your us fiss get algae?

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
