Hi guys.
Lately I'm having trouble with my frogbit. Months ago it was thriving. Rapidly growing, and were pretty green for the most part. The roots would grow so crazy to the point where they'll be all the way down to the bottom of the tank, and if I trimmed them, in days would rapidly grow again.
Nowadays, they aren't doing as well like they use to. Growing much slower (if they even are still growing), roots barely drop & grow long, and they're much more brown, and yellow on the top. I don't understand why. I don't know if it's because the tank use to be facing a window, and the sunlight was growing them nicely + the high temps, or if it's because there just isn't much nitrate at all now since my betta passed away. Just a couple of neo shrimp and a lot of pond/bladder snails. The tank also got moved to a darker basement kitchen, which is colder too, because of renovations.
I want to get them growing again, but my biggest question is, are they OK to be shipped? And do they look healthy-strong enough to be shipped? A friend of mine would like some but they live way out, so I can't actually drop them off like I use to. I'm worried about them either all dying, or looking awful, or do they look alright? Would love some help.
Any ideas?
