I've never heard of this. I cut my small Anubias nana 'petite' all the time in my old tank with my zebras and had no ill effects.

Thanks for replying!
I just got a big bunch of Anubias nana 'petite' which I can probably cut into a few separate rhizomes. I've got some other anubias gold/yellow ...

Hi,

I've heard and read that cutting the anubias nana rhizome, or actually pretty much any part of it, releases a toxic substance. This substance may be toxic to shrimp and other inverts. Some people say this is a myth.

Even though I do have red cherry shrimp with my zebras, my main concern is if ...

In my case, I'm currently using an Eheim 2215 canister filter with a hydrosponge prefilter and a marineland maxi-jet 400 powerhead with a hydrosponge prefilter which provides aeration, mechanical filtration and some, although minimal, biological filtration.

The 2215 is definitely overfiltering my ...

I hope so too. :loldude:

It's been more than a week with no casualties and they seem to be loving it. It's all temporary until I get some caves in there. I'll use the caves to stabilize the whole thing.
But I can't take credit for the setup. It was suggested by my friend, Hitch. I did all the ...

Hello everyone,

I've been checking this forum several times a day since I received my zebs two weeks ago.

I thought I'd introduce myself to all those who I will be getting to know and I'll be asking for advice in the years to come! :D

I received my beautiful group of juveniles from a fellow ...

Hey Louis,

My first forum post is to help you out and add some info to your discussion. :D

Not sure if you've seen this yet but I'll probably subscribe to this thread for future reference.
