Oh, ok.
Looks like my plants will have to take their chances until the kidding season is over at least ;)

What do you use to fertilize with? Sorry about all the questions but despite thinking I've learnt how to do something I still make mistakes with the fish.

Thanks

I use aquarium plant fertilizer, of course. Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! The stuff I use comes in a green box. The fertilizer looks like, well pebbles. The type of fertilizer depends on the plants, but make sure it's the type that can be added to your fish tank without killing any fish. Sometimes, invertabraes have trouble with some types. Look on the back of the package, they should sell it at most LFS stores. Oh, and I have tried the liquid kind, HATED IT. It didn't do my plants justice. I like something I can bury in the gravel next to the plant.
