Hornwort dying off
I was growing hornwort like crazy! I'd prune it and bundle up clumps to put
around my aquarium. It was growing about an inch a day.
I gave a huge bunch to a friend and they said that all the "pine needles"
started falling off within a day.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, my hornwort started dying off - shedding needles
and looking "brown and fuzzy." Now, I am at about 10% of what I had a month
ago. I did have a run of ich in the tank. I treated the entire tank and
raised the temp to about 80F to accellerate the life cycle of the disease.
I lowered the heater setting, but it's been rather warm here in Florida. The
tank has stayed about 78F. Do you think the higher heat could have caused
the plant die-off?
Thanks,
Todd
