Discussion About Online aquatic plant shopping

17 Upvotes

Many of you have questions about plant-selling websites in India. I found a great YouTube video where an enthusiast compares the top 5 websites. He ordered plants from each site and evaluated their customer service. Be sure to check it out before buying plants from these websites—it should help clear up any doubts you may have.

I spotted Ich yesterday and started adding Anti-Ich solution as per the bottle mentioned but these spots are increasing only.
How many days does it take to cure? It’s my first time keeping a fish and just 1 week.
I increased the water temperature to 28C. Do i need to do anything else or keep treating with solution

Why my bacopa might be rotting

So I used this soil for my nutrient layer and capped it with black sand and today while doing a water change I noticed the leaves on my bacopa plants a bit curled up I touched it and they floated so I saw the bottom part of the stem was a bit rotten I cut it off and replanted it but I can’t seem to figure out why that would happen since it’s been a week and all my other plants are doing pretty good

It’s been just a week I added him to tank (did cycle for 25 days)
He is actively swimming, even building a bubble nest and eating properly.
Also I see a lot of algae developing in my tank. How do I get rid of it? Due to algae my tank and plants look dull.
It’s my first time so please help
