Salvinia
I have a clump of Salvinia in my tank. I got it about 6 weeks ago.
When I bought it it had lovely long roots, trailing in the water, a few of the leaves where brown tinged though. Since I bought it it use to free float around my tank, but I have since added a bit of tubing to the top of the water to hold it in place in the front of my tank. It started growing really well with a lot of new leaves appearing, but now it seems to have slowed down it's growth somewhat especially since I remove some of the old stuff with brown leaves. It now has no long dangling roots they have all either come off or were removed when I removed the brownish leaves. I don't think my fish are eating the roots, they had a peck from time to time, but didn't like them. Any idea what I am doing wrong, or will the roots grow back? Stu |
Salvinia
Probably due to lack of nutrients. I notice mine turn brown when I
hold off on the ferts. Try adding same. Also it will multiply likc crazy with co2.
