O13SC3N3 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I recently got this Anubias Nana from CoOP, it has only been in the tank for little over a day. After work I just saw what was once a leafy anubias to this... I'm still learning, but my tank has a ton of plants. And only a few petites have a few discolored leaves after a week or so.

Colu Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have never had any problems with anubias it could have been shocked and will recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O13SC3N3 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Well I pulled it and the white part of the rhizone literally fell off in a mush. Everything I read says rot. And if so will it spread like people say it does? How do I stop it, I don't like the idea of losing all these plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Earlier in the year. I thought I had Anubias rot. After after doing some research, It was more likely that I got overzealous with the glue, and got too much on the roots. Here is a good blog post about Anubias Rot. Anubias Rot: Symptoms, Causes, and Solutions WWW.AQUARIUMCOOP.COM Anubias rot is an uncommon disease that can affect anubias plants in the aquarium hobby. Unfortunately, there is very little information about how it starts and how to stop its spread. In this article, let's talk about the... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rita Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I had an anubias from co op that I suspected rot. I contacted customer service and they confirmed. They refunded my money right away. When I took it out of the tank the rhizome was mush and had fungus growing around it. It also smelled horrible. Definitely rotten. I however did not glue it to anything, I simply wedged it between 2 rocks. None of my other plants seemed to be affected... granted that was the only anubias I had at the time. I have now added a few anubias nana petit and so far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Get every affected anubias plant (and all remnants) out of the tank. Do a large volume water change. Possibly do 2 smaller volume changes back to back if you have sensitive fish. Then cross your fingers and hope, and watch the remaining plants for signs of disease. Keep up on fertilizer and water changes. I did salvage most of mine this way. If you want to try to salvage any part of the other plants, cut them back hard, so no mushy parts are left, and try to let them recover either in another tank with no anubias plants, or in a jar of dechlorinated water on the window sill. I have only managed to save one this way. It still only has one leaf months later. Edited December 14, 2020 by Brandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmonger_X Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 What light do you have? Anubius like low light. High light absolutely kills them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
