Problem w/ Hygrophila
I'm having problem growing Hygrophila species in my tank. I tried
both the Hygrophila stricta and Sunset Hygrophila. The problem is that
after 1 month in my tank, the leaves become wrinkled, narrow, and warped
(see the diagram below).

Does anybody have experiences with this ?
