New on here i have plant troubles!
Hi all
I have a problem with my plants in my aquarium.
My setup has been running for a while now over 6 months. the fish are:
3 neon tetras
3 male guppies
7 small guppies
1 ablino cory
1 bristle nose catfish
1 pleco
My aquarium is 55 litreI have a internal filter, a compressed co2 system set up. and lighting on a 8 hour a day timer.
The problem is the valsneria just seem to have stunted growth !
I see runners pop up the die off and the plants that are of a decent size just dont change or grow !
I use a iron fert as advised by my local pet dude which i dose exactly as he advised, every 2 day 0.5 ml
All water levels are as the requirements of the fish as far as i have read/studied !
PH 7.2-7.5 raises a little after water changes but drops soon after
NO3 is 25/50 finding it hard to understand what is the best level for this.
N02 is 0
I have also been reading about a supplement called Seachem, is this any good ?
Any suggestions ?

What wattage and color temp of lighting do you have on the tank right now ?
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Welcome.
Hate to say this but you got two schooling species in very low numbers. Neons and cories.
Vallis offshoots dying, perhaps open a plant question. If at all possible a picture or two would be nice. First thing that comes to my mind is either very heavy gravel or too much co2.
