My stem plants are fairly new. They’re doing terrific, showing new growth, rooting like crazy.
i never minded the MTSs, I love the idea that they churn the substrate as mine is very fine and the gravel vac sucks it up easily. That being said, most of the detritus sits on top and is easily cleaned by swirling above it.
but since I have several plants starting to root into the fine gravel, with a couple root tabs, will the MTS churn too much and disrupt the roots of my new plants? Or are they plant safe?
current stocking:
2 panda corydoras
15 neon tetras
2 nerite snails
Lots of Christmas moss
3 x anubias nana
4 x wisteria
2 x crypt wendtii
6 x red ludwigia
1 x corkscrew Val
Planned future stocking:
4 corydoras
3-4 Otto cats
will an MTS be beneficial in this setup, assuming they’ll make more to support the population?
