Hi,
I bought a handful of floating plants for my tank last fall. They slowly grew and filled in and were lovely.
Now, they're dropping dead leaves all over and making a mess of my tank.
Perhaps they have taken up all the surface space and have nowhere to go? It appears that there is new growth and the old growth is dying off. I know this is a normal plant thing to do, but I can't prune several hundred tiny plants!!
I'm going to do a major clean tomorrow, maybe take some of the plants back to the LFS or give them away and see if the remainder thrive again.
Has anyone had a floating plant mess they could share more about!?
I don't know the species but here is a photo.
