forgot this-
5. In a larger tank like I am setting up, would it be good to introduce as many small live organisms that will live among the leaves as possible? There are lots of rotifers or whatever else is available that could be critical for keeping babies alive. Is there a risk of disease from this (the source I would get them from sells them in clean water so I don’t think that would be the problem), and has anyone else had success with this, a larger tank that is seeded with tons of little live organisms to help ease the transition for baby fish? I had baby microctenopoma ansorgi survive in a densely planted tank with no food added, they suddenly swimming around happily with no intervention. So who knows what can magically happen in a planted, organic matter filled tank.
