Saw these at the botanic shops before but because the contents were not stated, was rather scared to try them out. Scared my fish will get poisoned or algae bloom... How many do you stick into a bunch of Macrandas and how often? So RM10 will get you how many tablets? By the way Ari, can you share with us how you maintain Toninas? I'm close to giving up on these buggers coz those that survive look really crap and almost going to layu liao...

ok the contents are sort like N10 P25 K25...these are actually made for red water lily.
Direct translating from the thai writing in photo.....
."Specially formalited fert for water lilies and lotus plant, induce more colour in flower and maintains strong rooting.
Direction. one or half tablet depending on size of water pot,insert 1 to 2 inches from plant base once every 1 month."

well..i didnt go by instruction i put in 2 packs of 24 tablets...broke each tablets into 3 to 4 pieces and insert them next to the plants.
so far fishes are okay ..tara mati...on the question of algae...in my case i was praying for algae to grow faster since i have a pack of hungry SAE in my tank, it either the algae grow faster for them to fill their bellies or my java moss would be next on the menu.

i didnt put any for the macrandas...its wise not to mess with the ultra sensitive macrandas when they are growing nicely. they are actually in deep red colour ...a far cry from the dull photo taken with a Hp camera..i get a shot with the Digi cam later.


rm10 will get u 36 large size tablets...try beating that!


Tonias...hahaha...to be honest i was having problem with them myself until lately. i have tried everything. i was told they could only be planted in mud, or ADA soil, they need special soil, must have a chiller..plenty of CO2 etc etc...each time i try growing tonias, they will end up with rotting bottom, thin and looking like kiamchai.
Early last year...while visiting a cichlid farm in thailand, i saw tonias growing wild in an outdoor water pot...no co2 , no chiller, no filteration, no nothing.
the soil is holland sand..and gets plenty of sunlight.

Strong lighting is the key...and tonias must have plenty of the right spectrum...which is 50% yellow, 30%white, 10% blue and 10% pink.
i use 2600K yellow PLL directly on top ,and they seems to growing nicely without the bottom rotting away...new shoots are more compact...unlike in my previous attempts where they grow tall fast and sparse shoots along the stems.
infact in this setting i have learn several new things...and many of the diffcult plants are growing nicely. i finally got over the problem of LIGHT CHASING by plants or CHUI TANG in cantonese.
In this setup im using for the first time the combination of 5 diferent colour in a high powered 430watts lighting. water temp is abit high at 28.5C, but the plants doesnt seems to mind abit. whats more they growing in compact formation..no more long skinny stems with botak bottom.

all plants are planted from emerged form...so it takes a little more time to see their true form.

btw..i have remored all the Angel...those buggers are pulling off new shoots from the tenellus and tonias...huuump!!! ...got 100 Rummie nose and a dozen Emperor tetras in their place.
