Fish Crazy
I want to move live plants around in my aquarium.
Would I just have to be carful about their roots when if I pull them up?

For example, when I first got the red wendtii it died back to just the roots and crown and took a long time to make a comeback. Eventually it did but I've never understood the cause of things like this.
Good, so there's no mysterious reaction a rooted plant might have to being uprooted from one spot in the aquarium and moved to a different spot just based on having its roots disturbed? (obviously, differences in light and circulation might have some effect but would be a different topic.)
I completely forget now whether my crypt melt happened after introduction of the plant to the aquarium or after starting use of Excel. I know that initial dosing with Excel, especially if heavy, could cause this but what about changing the environment of the plant, such as when its a new plant and is introduced to the aquarium?
[as the beginning "thought student" (that you know I am) I would think the better growth encouraged by the increased CO2 environment would bring on a cooresponding demand for somewhat higher levels of other nutrients by the plants.. but is my thinking right there?]
