I've had a candy cane in the tank for about 6 months and have seen no real growth. By appearances, it looks okay, but the heads aren't as big as I've seen from pictures from other tanks. I'm wondering if my placement is wrong. Right now, I have the cane half-way up the tank (225W of T5 lighting). The water flow in the area is moderate to high, since the return is pointed in the corner opposite it's location.
I'm wondering if I should move it to a lower light/lower flow location. There is a spot available in the tank with low flow and indirect light at the bottom of the tank. Would that be a good spot to move him to? How much light does the a candy cane really need to thrive? Is it more sensitive to water flow or lighting?
I'd really like to see the branch propagate. But so far, I've had no luck.
Any tips or advice?
Thanks for any and all help.
