I'm trying to find some plants that my Severums will leave alone. I'm in need of basic plants that require little to no maintenance. I've always used duckweed and frogbit as I like how it looks and gives cover. I bought enough duckweed to completely cover the top of my 125g and my four Severums ate it all within 1.5 weeks (on top of every other day feedings).
I'm reading Java Fern is left alone by Severums, can anyone vouch for this? Should I add a clay pot and place it in there or tie it to my driftwood? I also read you should use fertilizer after each water change, which fertilizer should be used? Lastly I read it does not need much light. I have two 48" T8 bulbs on my aquarium, one is a cheap daylight bulb while the other is a Hagen Power Glo bulb. I have an automatic timer which kicks on at noon and turns off at 8pm, should I cut that time back?
