Fish Fanatic
Hi I was wondering someone could help, I recently planted 20 A. Crispus in my aquarium but I am having trouble growing them. Some are growing very tall about 12 inch high leaves others remain only a few inches, they are slow growing and some of the leaves are turing pale and then going completely transparent and breaking away. I have no algea problems in the tank and I have a mass planting of Rotala indica (red and green varients) which are very happy (100's of them).
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, I don't normally have problems growing plants?
Aquarium:
48 x 18 x 24 (deep) aquarium
Ammonia 0ppm
