I have an established planted 20Gal tank with Java fern, Java moss, Anubia and , Amazon sword. I have 8 neon tetras and some Nerite snails and shrimps living in this tank. I have used CaribSea Eco Complete as Substrate and i supplement this with few drops of Flourish Seachem when i do the weekly water change. Few weeks back i bought Pogostemon Octopus (this should survive with the existing Lighting i have) and planted them in the tank. Within few days it starting shedding the leaves and within 10-14 days the plant started disintegrating. I had planted 6 of these and none of them survived.
I have a Finnex Stingray 2 Aquarium LED Light, Blue Fish Moonlights, 24", Silver for lighting. FLuval E series Heater(E100).
Any pointers on why the plants didnt survive?
Thanks
