Thank you

Thank you.

My Amazon swords are melting and have holes in them see photo. I have a new 40 gallon breeder tank 6 weeks old with a 1200 lumen planted tank 6500k led fixture now running 12 hours and everything is doing fine but my swords. Tank has 18 brilliant rasboras, 6 nerite snails and 2 clown plecos, java ferns, water sprites with no co2. I dose the tank with easy green 2x weekly and supplement the aquasoil with root tabs. Nitrates are below 5, ph 6.6, gh 6, kh 3. I do see new growth that looks fine so they may just be adjusting to being submerged. Thank you. .

Thank you

I see they are roots, rhizome plants are not planted in substrate. I will attach to wood. Can they also be attached to inert substances with super glue gel ( i have large plastic decorative cave ) ?

Yes it is only on my Java ferns. So I need to plant them deeper in soul?

I have 8 week old planted 40 gallon breeder pretty heavily planted with aquasoil, 20 brilliant rasboras and 2 clown plecos and 6 nerite snails. Went thru a diatom phase a few weeks ago and tank is doing pretty good. My question is what is the hairy brown things attaching themselves to the ends of a few plants? They are not everywhere just a few locations but hard to remove. Ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 5, ph 6.6, gh 6, kh 3, temp 78.
