I use inert gravel as my substrate for both of my tanks, for my shrimp tank has more coral chips.Hi,
I got some java moss from a nice hobbyist about 2 weeks ago. It was nice and green but after placing them in my shrimp tank, parts of them are turning brown. I have another 2 pieces tied to lava rocks in my community tank and they look fine. What is wrong? My shrimp tank has plenty of hydra, about 10 adult shrimps and some shrimplets. I don't have a chiller, its placed in my living room where it does not get direct sunlight. I run a 18w light for 7 hours a day. I don't feed the shrimps as I had a snail infestation which is now under control. I have a large piece of dw in the tank that seems to provide plenty of food for the shrimps. The shrimps are growing well.
What is missing? Co2 or fertilizers? I don't measure nitrates or whatever as I don't have any measure kits.
I also have peacock moss tied to the dw which are doing fine. Funny why the java moss turns brown?
The other community tank does not get artificial light, only direct sunlight, no co2. Only difference is that I feed the fish there minimally. Both are 2 feet tanks.
What should I do?
