Baby Tears Aquarium

You will need a very intense lighting (fluorescent standard will not work, go for T-5) of the appropriate spectrum (5.500 to 6.700 K) *, the abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2 or Flourish Excel) and other micronutrients, which can also be provided by normal fertilizer prosper. Usually, a thinner substrate (like sand or fine gravel) allows it to disseminate best.

If this is not good (it is a plant very difficult to please), Marsilea quadrifolia consider (aquatic Four Leaf Clover) - it has a similar appearance, but much less need for Tears dwarf baby.

* If you want to use the watts per gallon "rule" (which is just as wrong as the thumb "of fish per gallon" rule "), you will need upwards of 3 if you really want to see growth . I had mine under about 2 watts of lighting T-5 and he died quickly (also supplied with CO2 and micronutrients).

Plant substrate such as Flourite, Eco-complete, and ADA soil.

2 watts per gallon.

And the use of liquid fertilizer or as a flourish using CO2.
