Hi,
I bought three large Tropica Anubias from Pets at Home just before Christmas in readiness for a new 125L tank which was to replace the 70L tank about a week later. I put the three pots in my existing 70L tank, which already had Anubias growing in it without any trouble for the last year or more. A week later I went to the clean the tank and found that two of the plants rhizomes had completely rotted away - Literally nothing left, just the wool in the pot, the other pot had a bit left that I could salvage.
I rushed out and bought two new pots from my local Maidenhead Aquatics, so I could setup the new tank and put the salvaged bit from the Tropica pot in our 240L tank.
Whilst cleaning the 240L tank today, I noticed that some of the well established Anubias had started to rot.
The dosing and cleaning routine has not changed so am wondering why this is now happening. The salvaged bit seems to be okay, the rhizome is still mostly brown, but this is hard and not rotting, and the growing end is a nice green colour.
Could it be the bit from the Tropica pot has "infected" the water somehow and thus effecting the other Anubias?
The Anubias in 125L tank seem to be doing okay, "touch wood" !
Does anyone have idea as to why this would start to happen?
Cheers
