I recently ordered some water sprite based on how often it was recommended as a good plant to either float or plant in the substrate. I wanted the baby platys I get from time to time to have more places to hide. The plants arrived and looked great - nice roots and the foliage looked good too. I probably received 10 plants and I put 7 in my 20 gallon tank and 3 in my 10 gallon tank. I just floated them. Now less than a week later there is not a trace of a water sprite in either tank. I've been sick with pneumonia so have to admit my tanks haven't gotten the attention they usually do while I have been sick. What could have happened to the plants? In the 20 gallon tank I have some platys, albino cories, zebra danios. In the 10 gallon, a few male Endlers, a couple red shrimp and some pygmy cories.
