Dying Plants

[Wildfire]

Hi all,

I have some plants in a 20 gal and they seem to be dying... They were doing great and all of a sudden theyjust started disintegrating in the water. It doesn't seem like the fish are eating them... Can anybody give me tips on what can be done to revive my plants... My fishies home is starting to look empty!

Any help would be much appreciated!

How much light a day is your tank receiving?

Well during the day not much... The tank is getting natural sun light in the afternoon. I get home at 4:30 the light goes on until 11:30 at night...

Turn the light on in the morning, then just turn it off at night as you been doing.

What kind of plants do you have?....Lighting is the usual case...but some plants require different things in order for them to grow.
