Is my Cycle dying?

Seachem Flourish Comprehensive is a pretty basic fertilizer--I use it along with Excel and the rest of the Seachem line. If you have a CO2 system Excel is unnecessary, but the rest would be helpful. Root tabs are for root feeding plants like cryptocorynes and swords. Many other plants feed mostly from the water column.

What kind of plants ARE Anubias? I like how clean their "roots" are. I have an Anubias Nana in my 5 gallon that's cycling, I get to share that with everyone at the end of this week, :)

What do you mean? I would call it a rhizome plant, if anything.

I don't know a ton about plants, so I can't really answer your question. Hopefully, OFL will come along and see this - she knows a TON about planted tanks!

I just happen to know that anubias isn't a rooted plant, but I also know a sword is, so you could probably use root tabs with that.

Yes, the anubias DOES have roots, but also has a rhizome. It is my understanding that you CAN plant the roots in substrate if you wish, but planting the rhizome will kill it. I never do - I just attach it to driftwood, rock, or whatever.

Oo I have two two cryptocoryne parva's (GREAT FOREGROUND PLANTS) I'll probably put a tab between em.
