Hi,
I have some common green hardy plants in my fish tank (can't remember the exact names at present :p ) and just added some Telanthera Cardinalis.  I regularly dose my aquarium with liquid CO2.  Can the new plant handle this?  Should I ramp up slowly?
Thanks,

Very nice looking plant and yes they should be five with liquid co2 expect some melting but it should bounce back but it's up to you if you want to slowly increase liquid co2 start with 1/3 dose for a week then 2/3 then on the 3rd week dose full should help if needs hope this plant grows if its the one I think being red will need lots of light but should grow well :) got any pics of it?
 
Thanks Zikofski for the prompt response

Yep, you're thinking of the right one!  Good to know it's a good grower because these plants are like 1 1/2" high!  LOL...but here are some pics

Oh, and I do have a good lighting system and the plants aren't too crowded so it should get lots of light.

Hello, 
 
You do not need to lower the amount of liquid Co2 you are dosing when you add new plants, your new plants will be fine and will appreciate the liquid Co2.
