Hey,

Let me start you off with some details:

Tank size: 10
Inhabitants: Figure 8 Puffer
Plants: Wisteria (dead), Ludwigia, Hornwort, Java Fern, Java Moss, Tiger Lotus (all of which dying)
Plant nutrients: Daily dose Flourish liquid fertilizer, sugar yeast Co2 by Red Sea, fluorite normal gravel mixture.
WPG: 4.0
specific gravity: 1.005

Okay, well all of my plants are dying... I don't know why. I had to take the Wisteria out today because all the leaves except at the top had fallen off or where brown, and the stem was starting to turn into a brown mush. Anyone got any ideas?
 
not 100% sure but the majority of plants cant survive in brackish water. I'm pretty sure there has to be some plants that do but I dont think they are likely to be ones you commonly find for sell.

Nope, I researched it... Most freshwater plants can live and even thrive in brackish waters. I'll try to find the link to a pinned article from this website...

Well.. I didn't do a real thorough search but I can't find it... Anyways, I have posted here before on brackish plants, and people told me these would be okay..
