Probably is the snails,,,,
OR it could be those VERY small surface bugs...(you see any very small
specks that hop on top of the water?)
BTW, anyone know how to get rid of those things?

I can guarantee it's the snails, they infected one of my tanks that had
healthy growth of watersprite and it is now disappearing.

Jim,

My water is medium soft, not deadly sterile, like Hetch Hetchy. It is about
80-90 ppm tds with about 60 ppm as GH.

Most of my plants do OK, when I pay attention. Algae does fine when I don't.
:-)It seems to be just the Water Sprite that hasn't taken off.

I suspect the ramshorn snails are eating it, as it just gradually
disappears. I need to solve the problem, soon, as I'm getting some more to
try again.
