Minereaper Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello, I got couple of lotus seeds i got few days ago , these arent dwarf ones , they are indian sacred lotus ( seeds are really cheap in india 2cents / per seed ) and they sprouted and gorwing like hell, i just learnt that lotus can release a toxic which can kill compete to kill other plants and that it have hydrophobic coating or something . I just wanted to know are they safe for shrimps ? I have indian whiskers on the tank. Also does it grows bioflim ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmiko Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I recently sprouted lotus seeds in a bucket and what i realized is the water every day would have almost a slime bubbly layer at the top and the actual seed also had some slimy substance. Be careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
