It is confirmed! I have Anubis Rot.
To explain: Back when I was cycling the tank, when the guide I was following suggested I was ready for plants, I bought a collection of stem plants along with an Anubis Hastifolio as a centre-piece, and three small Annubis Nana. The nanas were quickly lost as the rhizomes turned to mush. Regularly checking the rhizome of the hastifolio, it seemed healthy. Although, to be honest, I should remind you that 'as a total noob', most of the time I have absolutely no idea of what I am looking for.
Less than a week later, I got several varieties of Bucephalandra and they still seem to be doing fine. As are my crypts, mosses, .... etc.
Following this, over the last month, I have been adding floaters, lobellia and other rooting plants, which, again, seem healthy. Unfortunately, last week, I bought three more Anubis (Coin, Lanceolata and a larger variety of Nana). It was then that I really noticed that, while the rhizome was very solid, some of the larger roots of the hastifolio had turned a mushy brown.
My first instinct was to cut off the bad bits. But, I restrained the impulse and instead looked up the diagnosis and possible treatments. Once I was sure it was Anubis rot, I removed the plant and tried to see if I could salvage anything. Sadly, the interior of the rhizome was completely rotten.
While this is sad, the problem is the three new Anubis I bought last week: The coin, lanceolata and large nana. What is there prognosis, and will I ever be able to keep Anubis in my tank again?
