got a slight problem with one if my plants, done some research and it looks like others on here term it as "melting" what can i do to make sure it stops and doesnt happen again?

This is melt, snip all melting leaves off. As a new tank i wouldnt be too concerned, crypts have a habit of melting when they are moved around. They will settle soon but get the scissors out asap.

 

[Ben22]

thanks for the feedback I will sort it out tonight, It has happened before when they were moved.

Plant list:

staurogyne
Parvala
Mono solenium
Ammonia so bonsai
Anubis Nana petite
Totals rotundifolia
Weeping moss

Are all possibilities for the two tanks

Why don't you remove the heater? I dont think you need it for what u have in there?,it will,minimize clutter?

 

[Ben22]

problem and it looks like this!!!





does anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it? i removed this one from the tank and this is the second tank that I have. The only new thing since this was set up is a couple of plants. Whatever the thing is it has been in the tank some time, I have looked through the tank and I cant see anything else. help would be much appreciated!

I recon its a mayfly larvae.

Cheers

looks more like a dragonfly nymph to me. They tend to go for small fry and other stuff, just get rid and chuck em in the garden.

thanks for the feedback guys i have cleaned the tank and took all rocks out and plants. found a few larva attached to plants i hope i have got them all. if not it will be a complete start over or adding carbon as a friend suggested. or i have heard using white spot medice can kill the invertebrates. 😀

This is how one of the tanks ended up, a complete remake of the rebirth process!
The other tank i have decided to make a new project as an optiwhite came into my possession so look out for the new thread!

I will update in the future to show development.

Small update. This thread is closed now as the new tank as above is more of a side project to my optiwhite, still love the tank but its not my main focus
