Chris thanks. These plants came in small pots with just sponge around the
stem and held in place with with wire. No roots or growing medium was in the
pot.

The plants are just not happy and are going down hill, and since I dont have
any sand or soil in the acquarium at all, I felt that the roots needed
something 'more natural' to give them some nutrition.


What kind of lighting do you have for the plants mentioned? ~ jan
