StephenP2003 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Or do I have some other problem? It's the only plant with this problem and happening in two different tanks. Can't tell if it's being eaten by the snails or it is deficient in potassium. But considering I dose potassium by itself, seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDukeAnumber1 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Delicious? Perhaps but I would not eat it without ranch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I think rotting plant is delicious. I have similar looking holes and snail activity on certain floaters that are struggling due to condensation. Not sure what is causing this particular plant stress (could be many things I guess?) but to me this is indicated by the translucent areas I think I am seeing around the holes. Healthy leaves being predated on have holes but don't look soft/rotten usually, also if it were that this plant was just delicious, they would start at the newest growth typically. Unless you have a HUGE starving snail population, I think the plant is doing some melting of some kind and the snails are just preemptively cleaning up.

Alesha Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I have those same holes. According to this blog post, it's an potassium deficiency: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/plant-nutrient-deficiencies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
