ok then maybe someone could explain this to me....my watersprite when i got it was raised in freshwater....i put it in my brackish water and it started to brown(not algea the leaves started to die) well now i have aproximately 3 baby watersprites per leaf on the original ones and the originals ARE STARTING TO GROW BACK AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH but thats ok i like to make things multiply...my favorite saying is DEATH BY MASS NUMBERS......CHARGE but thats how i got mine to reproduce maybe a possible shift to brackish water to kill them and add some fertilizer to help them grow and KAZAM uve turned 5 watersprites into 15 and also according to someone that replied to a question i had about watersprite and switching them back to freshwater if they died again or not they said they did well.....if they do then you could easily turn those 15 watersprites into 30 the thing is is that youll be out of watersprite in ur original tank for about...4 weeks

Probably osmotic shock. Try acclimating it like fish and see howit goes, just make sure you take a LOT longer to acclimate the plant than a fish.
