live plants

[-cAtFiSh-]

i have live plants in my tank and i feed them this liquid fertiliser stuff once a week along with weekly water changes. i was just wondering if i need to be doing more than that to keep them really healthy? they do seem pretty healthy at the moment but i just want to know if i'm doing enough. thanx

Well it sounds like you are doing fine. Just a few questions. What type of plants do you have and how many? what are the ph and nitrate levels of your tank? How much light per gallon do you have? Lots of questions but they all have a purpose. The type will allow anyone to go research the plant to find out if your water parameters match that of the plant and the rest will give them your specific parameters to see what else you could be doing. However, (god im getting long winded these days ) having said all that if your plants are there as scenery then you are probably doing lots. just watch for algae growth on the plants and yellowing of the leaves.
