Vadiraj,

It is not uncommon for these plants to lose their leaves when they're transferred into new setups with different water parameters. I've heard this called "leaf-melting" before. 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?

Hi Guys,

I just did a new setup 10 days back. Planted anubias, cuba and cryptocorynes.
Substrate used is ADA amazonia on a ADA power sand special.

Co2 1 pps
Light 40w for 6 hours in the evening and 2 hours in the morning. Total
8 hours a day.
Canister filter, with ADA bio rio in it.

Yet the HC cuba and leaves are getting rottened. I do not understand
what could be the reason?
The tank size is 60x45x45. Must be atleast 150-200 ltr tank.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Vadiraj
