The leaves rot only to come back stronger and faster. This happens especially with Cryptocoryne plants where you also have to worry about root-rot unless you have a "Wendtii" strain. As for the "hc" cuba. They've done well for me with longer lighting periods. Have you recently adjusted your lighting periods?

No, its been just 10 days that I setup the tank. Everything is new..
Should I increase the lighting time?
