Thanks for yours suggestions.
I'll try with peat balls to lower the pH first
as I think it's the biggest problem for now.
I'm also thinking about buying RO filter
in the future.
I don't want to add any artificial fertilizers

Thanks for your opinion. Some additional information: plants are just dug in the gravel. They don't grow as fast as I want them to do but it's probably lack of enough light (only 2x30W - Philips Aquarelle + JBL Solar Natur installed). Quite heavy filtration can be another reason: two canister ...

Konrad

I guess (based on body and fins shape)
that my pleco belongs to hypancistrus genus.
It has rather different body coloration than
the one you mentioned.
