michael.qian Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've had 4 bunches of these, 3 stalks per bunch, they are nice looking plants but always start to die off. When I first plant them in they do really well, grows fairly quickly but after sometime the roots will starts to dissolve so do the leaves at the top, start to have breaks in them and eventually they uproot and float as the roots have all dissolved away. I have 35W of lighting in my 140L tank, 4 small goldfish, 20 white clouds and about 30 trumpet snails. thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Might simply not be enough light. I've got 90W of lighting in a tank of similar size and I've been considering adding another 30W to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael.qian Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I had 20W originally but added another 15W 2 weeks ago. Even when I only had 20W they started off well and deteriorated after sometime. But why would they start off well though if there wasnt enough light? Thanks.
