Hello all. Just looking for a little help with some of the plants I bought I bought from Aquarium Co Op. While my Anubias Barteri and Anubis Goldens are doing well and showing fast new grow, my Java Fern, and Vallisneria don’t look to good. I’m not sure if this is normal and I just have to wait a couple months for progress, or if I’m slowly killing them somehow. The Dwarf Lily hasn’t sprouted yet or grown roots. Just a thin bio film of white stuff. I have turned it over once a week. But it’s only been about two weeks. The Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus seems to be doing okay as well. I also bought Anubias coffeefolia (I really love the Anubias species) but it came in a bit damaged. Any advice would be helpful. The pictures show the growth of the Barteri and Goldens. They also show the damaged Coffeefolia and the not so good Java’s and Valls. I also included the crypts and the Pogostemon tho they haven’t changed much. The Sword doesn’t look to be doing too well either.
