Crypt Melt

[Ben_RF]

So I thought I had experienced crypt melt in the past. And to be honest I thought most people were exagerrating. Whenever my crypts got a little upset they would just die back just a little bit, maybe a leaf or two.  Boy was I wrong. 

Three weeks ago I attempted to treat some planaria in my shrimp tank. I used the product No Planaria for the first time after hearing so many positive remarks on it. It worked, however, my crypts however within three days melted right to the ground. 

How long does it take typically for crypts to rebound back (if they do at all?) after a crypt melt?

The tank has now had three 40% water changes over the last two weeks in hope to get the no planaria out.

It can take several weeks for a crypt to send up new leaves. Bury a root tab and wait...

they will most likely come back.id be willing to bet within 2 more weeks you will see some growth.

Thank you all. That gives me an idea for a time table.  Y'all are the absolute best.
