paigee Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 So I added plants to my newly started up tank and I’m obviously expecting some leaf death as it adjusts to my water parameters. However, one of my anubias (I bought two only one is doing this) has white spots on the leaves. I ordered and received them Sunday, put it in the tank that night and noticed the spots the next morning. Any ideas? Is this anubias rot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 There are some forms of anubias that have a white pattern to them. Is the leaf itself discolored or is this on the leaf and you can remove it? It could be from the ceramic media or something and the leaves give it a place to rest. Either way, it's not anubias rot. You'd see the rhizome literally rotten / brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like a calcium or hard water build up would, but I don’t think it would happen that quickly. My water isn’t that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a rogue superglue ninja went in there and got your anubias. The leaf in the back is the newest one, looks healthy there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyM Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The new growth looks good - you could try trimming the white leaves off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
