Hornwort dying..

hvc801 · 04-01-2008, 02:56 PM

I have a hornwort plant in my tank and it was getting too large and discombobulated so i had a pair of snippers so i snipped off a couple pieces and it looked great... now... its dying. I dont know why its dying im woundering it might be from the snipping or from this anti bacterial medication i have been giving my fish? any thoughts. the leaves are just falling off the stem and floating around sinking to the bottom...

I've had hornwort suddenly go like that. Sometimes its because of a drop in pH or algae starts growing on it. Sometimes I don't know why. Anyway, when it starts dropping needles (or whatever they are) it time for it to go in the trash. Leave a few small pieces of the healthiest-looking stuff and dump the rest. Gravel wash and clean the filter strainers to clean up the mess.
