Cincykid Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thoughts is this melting? Less than a week and it looking like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’m not sure where the melt is. Looks pretty healthy to me. Just looks a little wonky because it’s adjusting to the new lighting direction, in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I agree. I don’t think it is melting. Give it a couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Whoa. No, I am sorry I have to disagree. That looks like the beginning of anubias rot. If you have any other anubias in the tank remove it and do a couple of large water changes. Anubias rot will leave the rhizome rotten and the stems die while the healthy looking leaves stay intact. It is not catching to non-anubias, but I have had it wipe out a whole tank of them...twice now, sadly. It is the one plant I do actually quarentine now.

OceanTruth Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 @Brandy No need to apologize. I’m always open to the fact that I could be wrong. Where on the plant are you looking? I can’t seem to focus on what you and the OP are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on the plant are you looking? I can’t seem to focus on what you and the OP are referring to. The first 2 pics are "before". The rest show the shaggy/smushy surface of the rhizome, and the leaf loss, which is characterisitcally at the base of each leaf where the leaf joins the stem. I know those pics seem blurry, but that is actually what the plant will look like in real life--blurry. The back side of the top leaf shows some deterioration too. @Cincykid If the rhizome stays firm then this could just be adaptation. But if it is soft at all, you will want to cut away all the soft parts, rinse well, and let it recover in a tank with no other anubias. I have succeeded with about 1 out of 8. If you bought it recently, depending on the company policy, you should probably ask for a refund. Edited March 1, 2021 by Brandy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanTruth Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 @Brandy You’re right, I see it now. I thought the leaves had just turned and when I zoomed in on the pic to get a better look I thought it was just out of focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
